Entertaining, and chilling
This was the first Tim Downs book I ever read, and it made an instant fan out of me. The storyline is fantastic - and way too plausible. There are so many possible ways that terrorists could kill so many people, I almost wish writers would quit writing such creative books and giving them ideas. The fact is, this book is wonderful. The flashback scenes were gripping, and the intensity of the book builds all the way to the last page. One thing I've noticed in Tim Downs' books: I always feel like I'm learning something. On top of that, they are just so much fun to read! If you have never read Tim Downs, I recommend reading "Plague-Maker" first, then moving on to the wonderful world of the "Bug Man"!

Tim has done it again. A book you have more trouble putting down the nearer the end of the book you get. Very good reading.

A scary book when you think of the times we live in and the distaste that many have for our country and there are folks that would want to embark on such a terror... a slower read than some of his other books but well-written, worth hanging in there until the end. It shares some history that I was surprised was true.

This Tim Downs book did not have the humor of the Bug Man Novels, but the characters were complex and engaging. Some of the history revealed about the Chinese and Japanese during World War II was little known and tragic, yet fascinating. Downs did a good job of showing how painful circumstances can alter a person's character when one does not possess the healing presence of Christ. Yet when a person experiences the fullness of Christ, he can show grace and forgiveness to the most hardened criminal.
