In the frozen waters of the Arctic, Marine bioterror expert Joe Rush races to save a submarine crew from a lethal threat.
"The pleas for help stopped coming just after five in the morning, Washington time. The Pentagon staffers cleared for handling sensitive messages sat in horror for a moment and then tried other ways to reach the victims. Nothing worked so they called the Director, who phoned me."
In the remote, frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean, the high-powered and technically advanced submarine U.S.S. Montana is in peril. Adrift and in flames, the boat - and the entire crew - could be lost. The only team close enough to get to them in time is led by Marine doctor and bio-terror expert Joe Rush.
With only 36 hours before the surviving crew perish, Joe and his team must race to rescue the Montana and ensure that the boat doesn't fall into enemy hands. Because a fast-approaching foreign submarine is already en route, and tensions may explode.
But that’s the least of their troubles. For the surviving sailors are not alone on the sub. Something is trapped with them. Something deadly lethal. Something that plagued mankind long ago, when it devastated the entire world. And the crew of the Montana has unknowingly set it free. Now, Joe and his team must not only find a way to save the Montana and her crew, but stop a lethal horror of apocalyptic consequence from being unleashed on all humanity.

Critic reviews
“In White Plague, James Abel reworks one of the great tragedies of the early 20th Century into the material of a believable, hard-driving thriller of the modern arctic. Fast, well-written entertainment wrapped around something to think about.” (John Sandford, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Field of Prey)
“[Abel] is a solid, cleanly efficient writer who knows how to stage an action scene and, just as important, is a master of this chilled universe...Effective flashbacks and unfolding events keep the pages turning. Joe Rush makes a strong debut against dangerous odds in the Arctic, and so does Abel.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Well-written...Abel piles plenty of trouble on Joe and his gang.... The unusual Arctic location is a plus.” (Publishers Weekly)

I don't like stupid for the sake of the story

What did you like best about White Plague? What did you like least?
I love medical thrillers, so that was the part that got me interested in this book. However, it didn't really read like much a medical thriller, as it felt like it was more about the action.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was disappointed in this book in that there were a lot of "coincidences" and at the end the book there were conveniently open questions remaining that really just communicated plot holes. There was interesting stuff going on in the book and you are wondering "why are they doing this" "how did they do this" "where did they get this information"... and those questions are never answered. This book is a lazy weekend-on-the-beach read, so don't expect much.Was White Plague worth the listening time?
Yeah, it was short and distracting and entertaining enough for what it was. Personally though, I wouldn't spend more than $5 on this book though.Some plot holes a mile wide
