When you stop and think what man has accomplished you have to marvel at the creative genius.  Then you read something like H5N1 and you realize that man's genius is just one small step away from destroying us all.  Man decided to create a virus to use as a weapon.  It gets out and the world is destroyed.  Except for a few who seem to be immune to the virus.  They're quickly quarantined by the government but when you can't control your creation, well, you lose control.  I love Druga's work, I connect to her characters easily.  This one, not so much.  I wanted to her to go into more depth, to explain more, expose the characters more, why was this happening, why was that happening.  As a story it was interesting, scary because of the reason for the exposure, and I'll continue reading Ms. Druga's work, but I hope her next work goes a little deeper.
