A “Definitely Could Happen” Thriller

4 out of 5 stars

The Bug Hunter really drew me in with its cover first. I’d never heard of the author but the cover alone told me that this was going to be a story for me. I love bio-thrillers and knew, just from the title/cover combo that this would most likely be about something like that.

I was right, this was definitely a bio-thriller. Basically, a book about a terror group utilizing bugs as vectors for their biological attacks. It starts with people getting sick and turns into much worse.

The story itself was well written and paced out. There were a few times that I thought the action was going to really pick up but it was pretty level throughout. I think it was missing that little bit of over-the-top action that some of these have – but I won’t dock it too bad for that. But… that doesn’t mean that it’s not tense or edge-of-your-seat thrilling.

The thing that sticks out the most is that Davenport wrote a book that felt real. I was convinced that groups out there will (or already have) tried something like this. The science felt real and he wrote enough about it to hook me but didn’t do too much as to lose interest or over-explain.

Overall, The Bug Hunter was a well written book that I would but into the “definitely could happen” category, making it just a little more terrifying of a read.
