Book Club Meeting - "The Cobra Event" (public event)
)
Group:
Event Expired
This event has passed and RSVPs can no longer be submitted, but you can still post a message to this event's discussion thread.
Join the Social Wave Book Club for a thriller of a ride with The Cobra Event by Richard Preston. It's sure to keep you turning the pages, and it promises to be good fodder for discussion.
Melissa Kuzma Rockicki writes in Library Journal:
"Preston, author of the nonfiction bestseller, The Hot Zone, makes his fiction debut with this frightening tale of biological terrorism. When two completely unrelated people die horrifically in New York City, Alice Austen, a young doctor working for the Centers for Disease Control in Washington, D.C., is called in to investigate. What Austen finds in New York is like nothing she has ever seen... More victims follow, and soon she realizes that the mystery illness was caused by a man-made virus that spreads as easily as the common cold. Drawing on her findings, a team of government scientists is formed...their job is to find the person behind the virus and to stop him before he causes a worldwide outbreak."

O.k.! My bad! I have to change the date from January 17 to January 24. I hope that works for everybody. I just realized tonight that January 17 we'll be having a big Social Wave field trip to see the San Jose Sharks play the Dallas Stars at HP Pavilion. Can't miss it! I encourage everyone to join us.
Just placed my order for the book - can't wait to dive in and read it! Hope to see you on the 24th!
I'm going, but I think I'm going to pass on reading this book. I'm curious to see how you all liked it though.
Sorry to bail on Larry and Mikia, again, it's nothing personal . . . but tonight is not going to work for me. Please let me know which book you decide to read though.
