The
book is the second in a series of six stand alone novels in the
STORMWATCH series. Each is written by a different author and this is
the only one of the series I have read.
I
found the plot to be a little unrealistic. That thousands of people
would be stranded in an airport during an intense winter storm is
reasonable. That there would be a secret High Containment lab
containing deadly pathogens under the airport is the unrealistic
part. Hinze spends some time trying to convince us why it is there
but I just cannot see it.
The
action and suspense is minimal. Terrorist do attack but the suspense
is rather lack luster. The only suspense in the plot was really
whether two people who knew each other in their teen years will rekindle
the flame. I found it odd and disconcerting that Mason (bio-containment specialist) and Emma (security consultant) would be pleasantly
chatting away when there is supposed to be a real concern over more
terrorists invading the dangerous lab.

My
rating: 3/5 stars.
