I really wanted to like THE KING OF PLAGUES. I had enjoyed PATIENT ZERO and THE DRAGON FACTORY, but though they suffered from a slow pace I managed to stick with them and enjoyed them for the blasts of action and the heady conspiracies.

THE KING OF PLAGUES, however, suffers from a GLACIAL pace that ultimately killed it for me. Worse than the others in that pages and pages of nothing happening finally drove me to put the book down in disgust. Maberry's fatal flaw shines through too brightly this time.
