Publisher's summary

Imagine a virus so deadly it could alter the course of human history. In the wrong hands, a bioweapon more destructive than anthrax and smallpox combined.

Congo Variant is the new, fast-paced thriller from the author of the best-selling Hurst Chronicles series.

Dr. Alice Bishop, a promising rookie in the field of infectious diseases, is assigned to a scientific expedition exploring deep within the Congo rainforest. Her mission: to trace the origins of a mysterious outbreak before war engulfs central Africa. As she descends deeper into the unknown what she finds is more terrifying than anyone dared fear.

Half a world away, MI6 operative Blake Harris, embedded in a United Nations inspection team, probes the truth behind Iraq's weapons program as the Allies' patience with Saddam Hussein begins to wane. Harris must embark on his most dangerous mission yet searching for evidence in war-torn Iraq before time runs out.

As their paths intertwine, Harris and Bishop stumble upon a terrifying plot that could plunge the Western World into chaos with unimaginable consequences.

Congo Variant is the gripping first instalment of an action-packed series that takes you on a thrilling journey through Iraq and Central Africa. A story set against the backdrop of the explosive events leading up to Operation Desert Fox and the Allied bombing of Baghdad in 1998.

If you enjoy edge-of-your-seat thrillers like Contagion, Outbreak, The Cobra Event and The Hot Zone then you’ll love Congo Variant. Get ready for heart-pounding suspense and grab your copy of book one today.

Congo Variant

I read "The Hot Zone" many years ago and still consider it to be one of the scariest books I have ever read! I was excited to read this book since it seemed to be a fictionalized version of a biological outbreak of unknown origin.

The book is a mix of a medical team frantically trying to determine the cause of an outbreak in the Congo along with a spy for hire trying to learn the truth about Sadaam Hussain's use of biological warfare. The book moved between these two related story lines and kept the pace at a fast clip. I am not much of a fan of espionage books, but the addition of the medical side kept my attention. The author has obviously done a lot of research into both aspects of the book and his knowledge added a lot to the story.

The narrator did a good job and his accents for the different characters helped me keep track of the various characters. All in all, this was an engaging listen and I appreciate the narrator/publisher/author giving me the chance to give it a listen.
