About the Book
Cold War era biological experiments are
resurrected and after Boston experiences a seemingly inexplicable bio-terrorist
attack, the Center for Disease Control’s Dr. Davie Richards and Federal Bureau
of Investigation Special Agent Paula Mushari once again join forces to uncover
who is behind it. An obscure reference to a Dresden project found amid crash
site evidence marks them both for execution. Paula and Dave are forced to leave
Boston in the middle of the night and head to Washington, D.C.,where they soon
find that anyone they contact also becomes the target of assassins. When the
daughter of the CDC’s director is taken hostage, Dave and Paula come face to
face with an evil that forces them to question the very nature of duty and
service to country. With the help of one man, they learn the true meaning of
dark operatives while they desperately try to stop another bio-attack from
happening.

received his BS and Masters from MIT before earning his MD from Dartmouth

My Thoughts:
Dr. Dave Richards from the CDC and FBI Agent Paula Mushari from White Sleeper are teamed up again. They are in a race against time to find the perpetrators of a bioterrorist attack. It is an attack of MRSA that when infected the person can die within a few hours and it appears to be released indiscriminately. MRSA is an infection that is resistant to antibiotics. As they get more into their investigation, anyone they ask for assistance are also at risk from the assassins.
Biological warfare and bioterrorism is not just something from a book, it is an all too real threat that can happen at any time and anywhere and has. The book starts out in 1962 with the deaths of a few people from an infectious disease. It appears that this was a way to attack the Soviets during the Cold War should they attack the US. I liked the caption on the Part One page that said "The Primary Duty of Government Is To Not Harm It's People". This is the way that it should be but is it?? Will Dave and Paula find the criminals in time?? White Rogue is one of those books that is hard to put down and the reader is drawn into the story, a definite thriller that really kept my attention. For a book written by three different authors is amazing in my opinion, how well it all comes together. I do think that the reader should read White Sleep first so that the characters can grab your attention. I highly recommend this series and I really hope that there will be another.
I received a copy of this book for review and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
