I completely enjoyed Plunder : A Brett Carson Thriller by Keith Wilson. I read it over a 2 day period and only rarely putting it down. I thank Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the privilege of reading Plunder . The book is now available as both Kindle and paperback editions.

I was at the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) for 30 years before I retired and his descriptions of the public health agency seemed very authentic. Although I should add that I was in the laboratory area with very few interactions with the part of CDC (EIS) that features in this book.

The work of the CDC in preventing the spread of disease and preventing pandemics is extremely important. It did make me think about the current situation with COVID-19 and the failures of the Trump administration in preventing the spread of this pandemic in the United States. If the CDC was given a larger role many of the problems could have been minimized. So much for my editorial comment and back to the book.

The story was great. The characters well developed. The scientific and medical issues explained clearly and in a way that shows their importance. I highly recommend Plunder : A Brett Carson Thriller both because of the thriller aspects which are well done and the relevance to current events.
