The first in the TSI (Time Scene Investigators) series, this book is a nice balance between gripping suspense and scientific reality. The story switches back and forth between 1666 and the present time as the TSI team scrambles desperately to seek a solution to a global pandemic that had it beginnings in the country of Gabon in Africa. The writing is excellent and the plot is believable....all too believable...and I liked the development of the characters involved. If you enjoy international espionage and medical type mysteries, you will enjoy this new series by a couple of great writers.

A very good read and very hard to put down! I found it well written and captivating. I really liked the back and forth between the past and present. Worth buying, reading and keeping in your own personal library!

I very much enjoyed reading this book. Dr. Larimore has written a number of good books, both educational and narrative, but this is his first time at fiction and I think his transition, along with a talented co-author, was excellent. This book kept me going back as often as I could to keep reading, and I ended up finishing it during the night. The overall premise and evolution of the story is a very real reminder of the dangerous world we live in, from the real perils of deadly viruses, as well as out of control and untreatable bacteria to the radical groups populating our planet that have no moral conscience about taking other lives to achieve their evil schemes. As the scientists in the book were able to create a suitable antidote, one can only hope that science will be able to keep up with these dangerous illnesses to keep them in check. Along with a refreshing paucity of gratuitous language and sexual content, was a spiritual message that blended well in the narrative without the reader feeling that the Bible or some doctrine was "thumped" over their head. A message of the love of God and His work in our lives is so important for this world.Bravo on your first venture into the world of fiction writing.
