"Finally we have realistic disease-outbreak fiction" according to Christopher Bronson. Dr. Pennie is a retired infectious disease specialist. The strength of his storytelling lies largely in his ability to depict the workings of clinical medicine and practical epidemiology in a realistic yet entertaining way.
