    I'm so glad I read this!

    Even though I have read and really enjoyed the authors other books, I had held off reading "Quarantine" because I saw in the description the words, science fiction, aliens, and mutants. Sci-Fi is not a genre that I enjoyed, that is until now! I loved this book, in fact this may very well be my favorite book of his! I was hooked within the first few pages, there is so much packed into this book, all of the descriptions of the area, the various characters, etc.. are incredibly vivid, it's like you are right there seeing, hearing and smelling it all. It has been a true page turner, I found it very difficult to stop reading it, my dishes need washed and I told myself just one more page, that one page then turned into 2 pages, then 3 pages. Needless to say, my dishes didn't get done that night! So even if you don't think this is a genre that you will enjoy, give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised like I was. What a gem of a book!

    Quite the read!

    Excellent, startling storyline!

    As with each of John's work, it is a thrilling page-turner with well-defined, vividly-pictured characters.

    The underlying theme of global doom rings true, is new in it's approach and holds together the many twists.

    A book to read & read again. Especially wonderful as a digital version to easily integrate into the events of a day!

    I encourage you to enjoy!

    A SciFi Thriller Set In East Africa Unlike Any Other!!!

    Edge of the seat surprise. Sophisticated plotting. Totally unique locales. Riveting characters.

    Time: 1990.
    East Africa.

    When Paul Henry decides to emigrate to Uhuru, he knows only that he can never return once exposed to the deadly fever, that Oneida, the love of his life, is scheduled to join him in two weeks, and that his life is pretty damn good. That all changes even before the unmanned Uhuruan Airways Flight lands in Mombasa, when he sees things out the plane's window that challenge his sanity.

    Solid writing overcomes lack of reality

    Writing was so good, I could overlook the fact I was actually reading about mutant bugs ruling an isolated country. Characters were intense, scary, and oddly believable. The writing flows constantly building the suspense level to new heights. When a book can give you goosebumps, the writer has done his job well. 990 pages of fear

    MORE TWISTS THAN A PIECE OF TWIZZLER LICORICE

    In the first couple of pages of Quarantine two aliens are bickering back and forth, making me think that this wasn't going to be my kind of book. Then suddenly I'm reading about a guy in NY planning to move to a country in Africa. Soon after the man reaches his destination I'm a shadow hovering over his shoulder, experiencing every strange and confusing thing he's going through. As things escalate my shadow slinks lower and lower behind him, hoping no one will notice me because I'm scared spitless. Quarantine is like a spy novel where you can't tell the good guys from the bad and you don't know who to trust, not even yourself. Download this book and strap into your seat as it takes you on a wild adventure. The book is awesome!
