Title: A New Christmas Tale...
Review: Whiteout is another exciting tale by Ken Follett - author of the amazing Pillars of the Earth. Here we have a germ-heist gone badly. The criminals are trying to steal a new strain of germs - presumably to terrorists - from one of the most secure research facilities on earth. Toni Gallo is the head of security of the instillation and also happens to be in love with her boss. So her job, her love and her life are now all in jeopardy now that the security has been breached.Follett intertwines the story in a very clever way that has all interested parties meeting up at the same estate to get shelter from the blizzard. Children, extended family, employees, in-laws, and psychopaths are all forced to spend Christmas together - with vials of a killer germ on the kitchen table... The tension grows almost as fast as the snow piling up outside, and keeps building until something snaps.This isn't Follett's best work, but is an enjoyable tale, and worth reading on a snowy weekend.Relic113
