Reviews of the Plague Walker Pandemic Medical Thrillers: "Angel manages the nearly impossible...creating memorable characters in the midst of an intriguing mystery, action, humor and heart." -- JC Andrijeski, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Quentin Black mystery series"Fast-paced action and sly wit make Angel's writing irresistible fun." -- Rebecca Moesta, NYT Bestselling co-author of Young Jedi KnightsInterview with the Author: Q - What makes a Plague Walker Medical Thriller special? A - I've enjoyed thought-provoking medical or science-based fiction ever since I was old enough to read Michael Crichton's Andromeda Strain and Robin Cook's Coma. I'm also a big fan of the modern-day thriller writers like Craig Martelle, Michael Anderle, and Tess Gerritsen.So I've been writing these new medical thrillers as a unique mix of the two kinds of books. Epidemiologist Leigh Austen encounters similarly apocalyptic threats...and she does in a world rife with international skulduggery and conspiracy!Q - Why should readers give these books a try? A - Because you'll get to meet a bunch of memorable characters - scientists, soldiers, doctors, even a shadowy Nostradamus-like figure - in the midst of intriguing medical thrillers filled with action, humor and heart. (Yes, I paraphrased one of my reviewers, but I can't put it any better.)Q - Tell us more about epidemiologist Leigh Austen - what makes her tick?A - Leigh's the kind of person who'll move mountains to help someone. She also carries hidden scars from the time her medical team was wiped out by a killer virus in The Plague Walker. For that reason alone she'll go to any length to stop a local outbreak from turning into a global pandemic.
