Michael Palmer has a way with thrillers that I quite like
and his latest, Resistant, is no
exception. Here we meet Dr. Lou Welcome
who brings a friend to a conference in Atlanta only to have the friend suffer
an accident while running and then come down with a drug resistant “doomsday”
bacteria. We learn, along with Dr.
Welcome, that this bacteria is the deliberate work of a group of domestic
terrorists know as the One Hundred Neighbors.
The race is on as the doctor and his allies strive to put a stop to both
the terrorists and the epidemic they have unleashed.
