Thomas Malthus may have died in 1834 but his influence has lived on.  He wrote an essay that would go on to influence many people notably Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, who we know came up with the theory of natural selection.  It's interesting to know that those works were a basis to some of our laws and the way economics work.Uidam really pulls together a terrific story using the basis of  Malthus' essay and beliefs with a worldwide organization who believe that they are doing what needs to be done no matter the cost.  Conspiracy theorists will love that she gives them a story that they all dream about.The Malthus Conspiracy starts out with Rev. Malthus in Surrey, England in 1798 and then bounces to modern-day Virginia, United States.  It goes back and forth explaining a bit more each time.  It flowed really well and you don't get lost in the shuffle.  She took great care to talk more in-depth at the end of book adding in an extra section of her research.  Giving more information about Malthus, the Spanish flu and other population control.  It was well done and I like that she put that extra in.I think that conspiracy theorists, fans of mystery and suspense will all enjoy this story.  There is a little romance, a little killing and a lot of suspense.  Sounds to me like a good book.
