Title: Wild Goose
Review: Disappointing in the extreme. Although the opening chapter attractively imagines a world empty of people, with references to chemical weapons and the W.H.O. as relevant now as then, it soon peters out into mediocrity. The disappearance of a scientist (possibly with a vial of bacteria) leads Appleby on an episodic chase from a prep. school to a mad earl's estate to an Atlantic island. The quarry turns out not to be hare, but wild goose, half-baked and tasteless.
