"a very well written and interesting book. It captures the attention of the sci-fi/mystery lovers and will keep you captivated from the beginning to the end of the book. It gives the reader a feeling of mystery and suspense. I would recommend this book to teens as it contains aspects of investigation and vocabulary that may be too mature for younger readers. I would personally read more of this author's books, as they are interesting and a new genre of books that I have not read before". Andi Christie, Drummond Community High for Teen Titles " Lethal Outbreak was a very intelligent and all round good book. It was very fun to read and had a lot of cliff hangersm, it always left me on the edge of my seat. To sum it up in one word it woudl be fantastic!" James Davies, Portobello HIgh for Teen Titles
