Jon Smith, an Army research doctor specializing in infectious diseases and secretly an agent attached to Covert-One, is contacted by a Russian colleague, Dr. Valentine Petrenko. Petrenko is concerned about a small cluster of mysterious deaths in Moscow and about the Russian government's refusal to release publicly any information or data on the outbreak.

When the two meet, they are attacked by a group of mysterious men and Petrenko is killed, his notes and medical samples are lost, and Smith barely escapes with his life. At the same time, a series of government officials around the world are coming down with a mysterious, fast-acting virus with a 100% fatality rate. These deaths are somehow related to the increasing militarism from the new Russian government, headed by the autocratic and ambitious President Victor Dudarev. With few clues and precious little time, Smith and Covert-One must unravel this mysterious plot and find the mysterious figure who stands at the center of it all.

John Smith is leading a covert unit investigating this new weapon. Also, as part of the conspiracy the Russians are targeting the president of the US for assassination. This novel is not quite as far-fetched as some of the Robert Ludlum novels that I have read, which is a problem I usually have with them.

Demarini Voodoo 2013 Limited Edition. There is a good bit of action and drama, but the overall writing and characterization left me a little ambivalent. The characters themselves felt a bit faceless, making this story more about plot than anything else. This was a solid, but unspectacular novel. Carl Alves – author of Blood Street.

The plot is interesting because, though it was written in the mid 2000's, it mirrors a lot of what has gone on in the world these past few years. Having said that, for an international suspense thriller mystery type book the beginning is quite slow and the way the story lines weave together requires too much suspension of disbelief. Some of the dialogue is incredibly awkward. The writing is lacking in general.

The writing is lacking in general. Not only is it awkward, the author made mistakes with the characters actions that made them incompetent in a way they shouldn't have been e.g. There is a complicated ruse for an informant to hand and envelope concealed within a magazine. Once the main character, Jon Smith, is in possession of the envelope he takes it out of the magazine and opens it in plain sight of everyone.
