But when an unknown pathogen annihilates an entire Asian village, she must bury the nightmares and step up to help prevent a worldwide epidemic.

Joined by doctors, specialists, and a retired special-forces officer, Austen travels to the hot-zone epicenter a mile beneath the city’s surface. But with a crazed microbiologist and a former Soviet soldier after the dangerous organism, this scientist’s fight to save millions of lives could quickly cost her own….

Awesome!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It reminds me of the last of us on HBO sort of ,except there was so much more in this story and so many characters and the twists. The narration was great the accents spot on.

Fascinating plot

Multiple storylines and complex characters. Fascinating plot twists, with several cultures, diverse voicings and switching alliances.

Entertaining!

This was my first Michael Angel's book. This is the first book in the Plague Walker Medical Thrillers series. The story original and captivating. The characters are well developed and intriguing. The storyline is fast-paced, action packed, and suspenseful. Kelly McGaw and Parker Burningham did a great job bringing this story to life. #StoryOrigin

A very good thriller

This is a fast-paced, entertaining thriller, with lots of action and funny characters. Although I must say this is not a medical thriller. Just because there are people from the World Health Organization doesn't mean there is a medical issue., really. It's more of a scientific thriller IMHO.

Other than that, this is the perfect read when you want something that will keep you amused with not a lot of effort on your part. It's easy to follow and has the exact amount of humour to cut excessive tension.

And even when there is not a cliffhanger (the book is self-contained) there is a thread left loose that I bet will be the starting point in the next books of the series.

The narration is good, and I liked that there were two narrators, one female and one male. That made listening to the story easier and more enjoyable.

All in all, a good story, worthy of your time.

One virus can change everything

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Exceptionally narrated by Kelly McGaw and Parker Burningham as both truly together elevate this intelligent thriller to an intense level. With a terrifying out break of a deadly pathogen, epidemiologist Leigh Austen finds her entering a battle ground of clashing agendas: as she and the World Health want to clamp down in a virus that's exploding in land once a part of the Soviet Republic and those whom view the virus as a tool to bring things to a new order of controlling the world. A in your face race against the clock with haunting, dire consequences.

Definitely highly recommended.
