The story behind the story...
Fugitive Spy was inspired by the nonficiton book Biohazard by ken Alibek. Ken was a high-ranking Russian scientist who headed up their illegal biological weapons program. To say the Russians were "tinkering' with virulent pathogens would be an understatement. They were flat out creating, manufacturing, and stockpiling biological weapons of mass destruction. In the book, he outlines how there was a desire to combine two deadly pathogens into one, and that fueled Fugitive Spy's story line. Much of the things people might find far fetched in the story are actually based on history.
My review...
Dr. Ashley Drager is shocked to see that Casper
English, a patient in the ER, has her photo and a tattoo that matches her
father’s. Unfortunately, Casper has amnesia and is of little assistance. Ashley
senses that the best chance she has of learning what happened to her missing
father is to help Casper regain his memories, and she’s determined to do
whatever it takes to make that happen. They embark on a journey that will place
them in danger at every turn, and Ashley can barely comprehend the information
that’s uncovered. Will the clues her father left behind lead them to the
answers she’s longing for, as well as to her father, or will it lead them to
unimaginable end?
Action and suspense start early on, and they don’t
stop until the last page. The pace stays active throughout. This book doesn’t
have quite as much of a medical aspect as some of Redwood’s other books.
Perhaps the scariest part of the story is that it’s based on factual accounts.
As usual, the author’s story is well-researched, but it’s not written at a
level that’s too technical for the average reader, who will be flipping
pages trying to guess the outcome while following the twists and turns of Redwood’s latest suspense.

I received a complimentary copy, but I wasn’t required to leave a positive
review.
