Greig Beck has outdone himself with The First Bird (either in 3 parts or the Omnibus ed.). It's a mix of post-apocalyptic, medical thriller and bug book. In fact the middle book ranks up there with F. Paul Wilson's buggiest efforts. And the ending is great as well. I was curious why he had the linguist come from UNC-Asheville (which he called 'Asheville UNC') since he's an Australian writer but maybe he has a friend from there (I used to be a faculty member there). Great characters and great action combined with horrific critters. A perfect formula!
