Review: Starts slow...finishes fast
Rating: 4 out of 5

The Deadliest Plague is about a worldwide epidemic that wipes out most of humanity. No zombies are involved. Two story lines move pretty slowly, and we know they'll converge. Finally, when they get going, the pace quickens and the story speeds along. It's a long book and several times I thought of stopping, but after about 45%, it moved really fast and was worth reading.Unfortunately, the book was marred by a slew of typos: constant misuse of "loose" for "lose" in all its forms. Missing words and missing quotation marks. But the "loose-lose" bit was most annoying, especially when it occurred 3 times on one page!I also think the author could have fleshed out the back story a bit more, and earlier in the book, and spent more time on the ending, but it still worked well.All in all, a worthwhile read, and I will look for more by the author.
