1 Sharon Webb Pestis 18
Tor Books 1988 0812510666 / 9780812510669 Mass Market Paperback Very Good 
0812510666 From Publishers Weekly Pestis 18 is Yercina pestis, a variety of the bacillus that caused the Black Plague, the scourge of Europe in the Middle Ages. Now it has been secretly re-created by the CIA, but scientists have not yet developed an antitoxin. The Russians, however, have. These are the complications Congressman Bruton Laird Farrier must unravel when terrorists seize two cannisters of the plague, secreting one of them on St. Cyrils Island off Georgia, and holding the vacationers there (Farrier among them) as hostages. Although he outwits his captors, Farrier is faced with a terrible dilemma: the time clock is running; where is the second cannister? When will it explode? Webb, an R.N., nicely integrates technical information on bioengineering, decontamination procedures and the development of antibiotics. The dialogue is crisp and the narrative fast paced and all too credible. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal An eagerly anticipated Thanksgiving holiday becomes a nightmare for ten guests at an exclusive lodge on one of Georgia's sea islands when they and their hosts become hostages of foreign mercenaries bent on loosing a deadly plague virus on the U.S. mainland unless a huge sum is paid in gold. The prisoners include a congressman and an ambassador, VIPs targeted to lend authenticity to the threat. Ironic plot twists characterize Webb's suspense tale: the tables are turned on the predators with the help of a spunky nurse and a scared little boy, and respected agents of the U.S. government (who, it turns out, developed the modern biological Black Death) rival the terrorists for sheer horror and duplicity. With brief but sound character profiles, colorful environmental descriptions, and plenty of action, Pestis 18 is recommended for public libraries. Marion Hanscom, SUNY at Binghamton Lib. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
