"A large-scale pandemic is not just science fiction fodder, it's an inevitable outcome for our global society."

This one is almost too on-topic right now, as I near my full year of having not gone out to eat, sat in my friends or family houses, gone to a movie or any other social type inside event. I'd never heard of North Brother Island or it's use as a research or lab type use. It was interesting to read the chapters that took place in the 1900's as you learn about it all.

It took a little while for the story to really start going, it's a bit of a slow mover in the beginning, but it all did start to come together around 30% or so. Interesting character and interesting premise. I did enjoy it but I did feel like the characters were a little...extreme - either one way or another. I felt like a little gray ambiguity in them would have helped.
