Meanwhile Dr Lori Dalton, an epidemiologist also in Iraq with the UN learns of a disturbing occurrence at a village not too far away.

Of course, this is a matter of taste, and Jordan is probably right to avoid controversy and let the events of the novel speak for themselves. He is best known as the author of the RYAN DRAKE series of action thrillers, and for his YouTube alter-ego, THE CRITICAL DRINKER, amassing well over a million followers and quickly becoming one of the most popular movie critics on the internet. For example, airplanes don't deploy flaps after landing to break, they deploy speedbrakes to destroy lift and make braking more effective, flaps are extended during the approach to reduce the speed. En su canal de Youtube, en el que a diciembre de 2022 tiene un millón y medio de seguidores, Jordan muestra su hastío por las propuestas que tienen más interés en educar que entretener, y cierta nostalgia por películas de acción como “Terminator”, “Depredador”, o “Golpe en la pequeña China”.La narración tiene mucho de película de acción, con tiroteos, persecuciones, malos malísimos, y viajes a lugares exóticos. I had really been looking forward to reading this book and now that I have, I can say it didn't disappoint! Primero a una persona que hubiera disfrutado con películas como “La jungla de cristal” o “Depredador”. Cold era Soviets, the Gulf War, a deadly virus, and a budding flirtation between a doctor and a former soldier.

Perhaps due to the cinematic style the book is written in, or the somewhat tired ground it treads plot-wise. The prologue is the retelling of The Dyatlov Pass event from 1959 on Ural Mountain where A Russian team of nine were found dead with immense and inexplicable injuries. Anyway that probably sounds super negative, its really more cheeky hassle, as I said the book is actually very well written its just geared more towards action/fun/excitement rather than originality or depth. She’s the one who explains it to Becker (and the reader) along the way, but that’s not all her character does for the story. Nine members of a Soviet mountaineering team on an ambitious expedition into the Ural Mountains are found dead, victims of massive and bizarre injuries.Unfortunately, this fell into the wrong hands and the kidnappers coerced Ivanov to perfect the strain and create a deadly biological weapon unleashing them into the world’s populated nodes causing the annihilation of mankind. I do have a few structural issues with the book, like the two false beginnings, which were necessary, but did end up feeling a bit contrived.

I appreciate the genius that is Will Jordan (aka The Critical Drinker), a guy on youtube who regularly turns out critiques of our fractured culture that are uniquely insightful and wickedly funny. Many thanks to Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the much appreciated arc which I reviewed voluntarily and honestly.I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review. A suspenseful, gripping read that transported me into the freezing mountains and had me guessing to the end. Not only was I happy that he didn’t kill off one of our two heroes, but I thought he did an amazing job of making me think he had only to end on a truly perfect and poignant ending.

Her presence has an impact on several of the power players along the way, that I can’t divulge without getting into spoilers. There were times when I legitimately thought they were going to fail in their goals because they were human, and bad crap just happens to people.

After graduating high school he moved on to university, gaining an Honors Degree in Information Technology. No, we don't get dudes mowing down hordes of the undead, but what action here is clinical and well thought out. The entire group dies brutally in a matter of hours, some of whom endure gross physical trauma on their way to the afterlife. Ex-soldier-turned-mercenary Cameron Becker is escorting a Russian businessman named Luka Belikov through Baghdad. The virus was so deadly, that there was no known cure and therefore, the Soviet government abandoned the project.
