Resistant

Book Jacket for: ResistantMichael 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.

This is an exciting book I would recommend to any lover of medical thrillers.
