Book Review Blurb: The Extinction Agenda by Michael Laurence

Don’t let this short review fool you – I LOVED this one. This was an extraordinary book, full of everything that makes a thriller fun for me – conspiracy, bioterrorism, shadow governments, one guy who figures it all out then assembles a team of good bad guys to help him resolve it… It reminded me a little of the Dean Koontz Jane Hawk series – not in any derivative way AT ALL, but because it’s another story in which one good (with just enough street cred to know the right bad guys to help) guy finds himself enmeshed in something huge and scary and world-altering and uses his considerable wiles to save the day. The writing is great – perfectly paced, elegantly plotted and full of characters that leap off the page and grab you by the throat. My only complaint is that it ended – seriously, I could have read another thousand pages without blinking an eye… It ends on a great note – setting up the next book with plenty still on the table but nothing dangling off in a way that felt abrupt or unfinished. There’s a lot more to this story, as hinted both throughout and at the end, and I for one cannot WAIT to see how it plays out!
