Slatewiper is very well written and a lot scary since it is based on facts of biomedical atrocities. It makes you want to know more about the research for a contagion that could kill millions.

Exciting, plausible SLATEWIPER is a great thriller starring a strong woman who readers will appreciate and relate to. The story line is action packed yet the author makes sure the scientific basis for the theme is well presented and easily understood yet interwoven into the plot so nothing slows it down. Fans of scientific based thrillers will quickly realize that this book is worth setting aside several because once you start, you are hooked at a microbiological brain level to finish it in one sitting.

Good plot and the characters are very interesting. It can be complicated to follow, esp. if you don't know a lot about Japanese culture and history. However, the book was well researched and a lot of the information the book contains is based on factual history. The genetics in the book can be difficult to follow without a degree in science at times, but overall the science is fairly accurate and makes you wonder what we are doing even messing around with our very genes. The consequences may be disastrous for us all.
