I love books about attempting to rewrite history.  So when I read the description, saying that this book was about a guy that is writing a book that will rewrite history... my head hurt a little bit, and I became a little dizzy...  But I was really interested in that premise alone.Not only is there a story line centered around the discovery of America, and many others historical "facts", but that writers wife, who works at the CDC, is trying to stop an outbreak perpetrated by terrorists at the World Cup.  So yeah, there's a lot going on in this story.I would have been happy with one plot or the other, but both major story lines are interesting on their own, and being put together in the same book is really spectacular. The way that the two stories intersect is really well done, as well.  For such a long and dense book, it never really seemed to slow down, and kept going at an exciting pace.This is a fantastic "alternate history thriller" novel.  If that sounds like something you would enjoy, then definitely check it out!
