Publisher's summary

They fight without conscience or remorse. Their only job is to kill. They are the most ruthless enemy we have ever faced. And they are one millionth our size. When Dr. Lou Welcome fills in last minute for his boss at a national conference in Atlanta he brings along his best friend, Cap Duncan. But an accident turns tragic when Cap injures his leg while running. Surgeons manage to save the leg, but the open wound is the perfect breeding ground for a deadly microbial invader committed to eating Cap alive from the inside out.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, a teenaged girl is fighting for her life against the same bacteria. The germ is resistant to any known antibiotic and the government scientist tasked with finding a cure has been kidnapped. Turning to the Centers for Disease Control for help, Lou Welcome uncovers a link to a shadowy group known as One Hundred Neighbors that has infiltrated our society and is using our health institutions as hostages.

Like the deadly germs they can unleash, One Hundred Neighbors will stop at nothing to further their agenda. From the hospital corridors where anything you touch can mean your end, to the top corridors of power in this race against time, Lou must stop an epidemic, save his best friend, and face even his own most terrifying demons.

From the New York Times best-selling author comes another heart-stopping thriller that will make you look at the world around you in a new and frightening way.

Very good

It's been quite a long time since a fiction really caught my attention and didn't represent an offence to one's intelligence. This one's really good.

Suspense and mystery

Palmer does a great job keeping the story going. Narrator performs the story with just enough variation to keep you listening with interest.

Good story but overly dramatic narration

The book was well written and I enjoyed the main character. The narration was a bit dramatic but not so much that I couldn't listen.

"Reasonabley Resistant"

Certainly not a literary masterpiece, in fact, far from it. I reads along at a fair pace and is written in a straight forward workmanlike manner, which does not excite one for its skills in prose. Nevertheless, it was an OK book in it's genre, without getting too excited about it. I occasionally enjoy these types of semi medical sci fi stories about killer bugs, and if you do too, you will probably enjoy this well performed book as well.

Would have been better without the cussing.

I liked the story, but could have been told without the cuss words. The rest was good.

Another Michael Palmer Great!

Resistant is a must read if you like Michael Palmer, since it is his final book. He doesn't disappoint! And the narrator was great, which is a plus. Loved it! 5 stars!
