Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. very good SF/medical thriller about disease that incapacitates the space station crew and they must not come back to earth. I must have read a different book from most others… I’ve read an extraordinarily cheap science fiction thriller that feels very dated, e. g. when NASA officials threaten to fax a secret to the newspapers, when they present evidence on a cassette tape and that caters to admirers of body horror at best. Yes, it’s a thrilling page turner but of the 90s variety; think of the old b-movies with body snatchers and smart scientists, a cowboy-infested US government and many more stereotypical characters and story elements. It’s mostly disgusting with cheap thrills and the intellectual depth of a puddle. I finished it less than a day ago and, thankfully, the “story” is already fading into oblivion. I’ll stick to more modern works of Gerritsen. One out of five stars.

Loved it! At times felt the handicap of not being familiar with all the medical and technical jargon being thrown around but otherwise a very perfect fit into the kind of books that click with me. :D Space exploration .. add to it a tinge of selfless love and also throw into the mix pathological viruses with a 100 percent mortality rate .. it makes for a sleep foregoing, eye riveting thriller that kept me awake all night last night. Getting into the plot line, a space mission aboard International space station goes awry when one by one all the scientists onboard start dying due to a virus that absorbs the DNA of its host into its own genome and propagates, thrives, profligates. Where did this virus come from? How to fight it into remission? How does a physician Jack save his wife Emma who is infected with the virus and is fighting it as a sole survivor on the space station? Interesting and must read .. science thriller !! Three and a half stars but I'm rounding up this time. (Edit: now that I've read though my review, I've realized it would be an injustice to every other 4 star read of mine to not drop this one to three :D) A good premise and setting, great pacing and the tension held through out. I didn't care about the marriage troubles of the main character (or about any other aspect of the relationship between her and her husband) but otherwise the plot was good enough. The ending was really predictable from the get go. There are some questionable things here too, that I'm going to attribute to the late nineties. Similar themes as Andromeda Strain and Cold Storage but this one had me maybe a little bit more invested, although the eventual heroics that resolved the situation were a little over the top. Brillante investigadora, la Dra. Emma Watson ha sido elegida para tomar parte en una misión que estudiará el comportamiento de distintos microorganismos en el espacio. Pero la NASA ignora la naturaleza letal del experimento. En el espacio, las células se reproducen velozmente y comienzan a infectar a la tripulación con mortales consecuencias. Una misión de rescate termina en una catástrofe, mientras Emma Watson lucha desesperadamente para obtener un antídoto contra el terrible microbio cuya propagación quizás le impida regresar a la Tierra... Tess Gerritsen integra sus conocimientos médicos con la alta tecnología espacial para ofrecernos un thriller verosimil y apasionante. Un gran bestseller. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
