This is the first of the Chess Team books I have read. A weaponized virus threatens the world. The Chess Team is sent in to discover a cure. This Chess Team is substantially different than the one you had in high school. Monsters, mental illness, mysteries and politics characterize the story.
To say this was a rousing adventure is to truly understate the velocity that surrounds this story. Fast paced action threatens to overwhelm you page to page. I felt the characters needed more background but that may have been provided in the first book of the series. I intend to get that book as I really enjoyed this book. The plot was fantastic as was the setting. I’m not sure how to classify this book. It is speculative but not grossly far fetched. Coonts and Cussler come to mind when I try to think of comparable stories.
I recommend the book.

Book Calendar Has Tagged Me With A Meme
Book Calendar http://bookcalendar.blogspot.com/
Ok, first I had to determine what a Meme might be. After I got the concept I decided to implement it.
The chore here to reveal six unspectacular quirks about myself and challenge other bloggers to do the same.The rules here are simple:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell six unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag six bloggers by linking.
5. Leave a comment for each blogger.
Unspectacular Quirks
1. I love pickled eggs which are purple but I call them blue eggs.
2. If I get a book that is damaged, I feel morally obligate to repair it, even library books.
3. In spite of all evidence to the contrary, I still perceive myself as a skinny, footloose kid.
4. I have more books than I can possibly read and more computers than I can possibly use, but they are my version of comfort food.
5. Upon retiring I didn’t want family tying me down, yet I volunteer to baby-sit constantly.
6. I anthropomorphize incessantly, including my dragon collection, stuffed animals and pool sweep and have successfully passed that quirk onto children and grandchildren.
Here are six blogs I enjoy although it was hard to narrow it to six.

Rotus’s blog appeals to my sense of irreverence. You never are sure what you will get but you are sure it will be interesting to read. He also has lots of good photos.

I have no clue if the Reverend is a Reverend and I don’t really care. His blog is newsy, personal and always readable.

Science fiction and a family guy, what’s not to like. Lots of photos and a irreverent attitude.

Since I didn’t even know what SEO meant not long ago, I find this blog very helpful.
