Getting a message across sometimes slows down Okavango: Beware the Ultimate Cure. The story kept me interested. I liked the characters, but found the content a tad heavy on the propaganda for a fictional novel. One couldn't help but wonder about the AIDS epidemic; its concentrations in Africa and its targeting blacks and homosexuals. There is an eerie truth stepping off every page of this book. Good and evil are not always easy to pin down. All depends upon the perspective of the holder of an opinion. In terms of the story in this book, it was sometimes too naively optimistic given the reality it was laying bear. In the middle of the book, the momomtum dropped down and was replaced by the explanation of medical realities. Since the book suggests a plausible reality, perhaps its action should have also been more believable. Dawn and Terry perform some totally unbelievable stunts. With a greater concentration on moving the story ahead and a little less heavy-handed propaganda against the dangers of the vaccine business and the pharma industry as a whole, this book would be better. Still the story kept me going from page to page.
