This book got a 4 instead of a 3 because I enjoy the author's writing and because the concept fascinated me. The story was hard to follow. It was hard to give up on it, but with many other authors I would likely have given up. Terrorism, especially bio-terrorism, is frightening. This story involved religious and anti government zealots, some American politics, and agents from the alphabet soup of FBI, ATF, etc.

[spoiler alert] I wouldn't want to give away too much, but what if a bio-weapon, instead of (like anthrax) causing death, caused people to forget why they all hate each other?
