Synopsis

The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem has been blown to bits by extremists, and, in retaliation, thousands have died in another major attack on the United States. Now the FBI has been dispatched to deal with a new menace. A plague targeted to ethnic groups--Jews or Muslims or both--has the potential to wipe out entire populations. But the FBI itself is under political assault. There's a good chance agents William Griffin, Fouad Al-Husam, and Jane Rowland will be part of the last class at Quantico. As the young agents hunt a brilliant homegrown terrorist, they join forces with veteran bio-terror expert Rebecca Rose. But the plot they uncover--and the man they chase--prove to be far more complex than anyone expects.

About this title

Review:

'Whatever Bear touches turns epic... rarely have I felt so much the presence of great events' THE TIMES

‘Darwin’s Radio is a tense technothriller in the Michael Crichton vein... But it's got a disturbing twist... profoundly unsettling.’ NEW SCIENTIST

'Greg Bear's Darwin's Radio is one of the most intelligent and original thrillers of recent years’ Locus
