Thank you for your informative review. I'm glad you liked the book. It's great that the editing was so well done. I think that those who like medical thrillers will enjoy this book. That isn't a genre that I choose a lot and I'm tired of pandemics now, so I will pass on it.

I love medical thrillers, can't wait to read this book. I would love to know more about bioterrorism and how the virus affect patients. I'm glad the book made it to being the BOTD.

Medical thrillers are always one of my top genres as it's so intriguing and informative. It sounds like the author did an exceptional job of this and I'm excited to read it. I'm curious to find out who the villian is and if he/she really had a good reason for doing the unthinkable. Thanks for an excellent review. Congrats on BOTD.

“Particles in the Air” by Jenna Podjasek, MD, is a gripping medical thriller about bioterrorism, featuring Dr. Mallory Hayes, an infectious disease specialist who uncovers a virus unleashed by a rogue scientist. Fast-paced and expertly detailed, the book offers suspense, well-developed characters, and a credible, engaging plot. Rated 5/5. Thank you for an amazing review.

This somehow reminds me of the COVID times. I hope Dr. Mallory perseveres.

This book expertly blends medical accuracy with thrilling suspense, making it a standout in the realm of bio-terrorism thrillers. Jenna Podjasek, MD, leverages her expertise in immunology to create a story that feels both realistic and gripping, especially in the post-COVID world. Nice review.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters are well-developed and believable. The author does an excellent job of creating tension and building suspense, keeping the reader engaged in the story. I couldn’t put the book down! I wanted to know what was going to happen next and how it would be resolved. To me, this is the mark of an excellently written thriller.
- If the plot of a book is not the readers' field of expertise then immediately they are interested and they want to find out more. Maybe even want to figure it out themselves. It's good that this book has that quality. A well executed review. Thank you.

A virus being created and spread by a scientist is the main essence of this medical thriller. A book like this seems so much more realistic now that we're in a post-pandemic world, which makes it all the more scarier. However, I love this type of genre, and the fact that each chapter is told from a different perspective, as well as not immediately knowing who the bad guy is, makes it all the more interesting. Congratulations on BOTD.

The covid-19 pandemic has left a strong impression on our mind and anything related to bioterrorism gives rise to new fear. However, the author's expertise in immunology also means we get to learn the internal working of a virus better. I hope to enjoy reding the book. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like a wonderful read! The comparison to authors like Robin Cook and Michael Crichton sets high expectations, and the high number of positive feedback on the book suggests it's well worth reading.

Thank you for your review that explains some of the plot. I read the sample and I will need to read on to see how the first scene on the beach fits in and if the scientist goes through with his evil plan.

With the recent pandemic, a medical thriller about a deadly virus feels quite relevant. It investigates how those in control of breakthroughs in science have the ability to save or ruin lives.

Given what just happened with the COVID pandemic, bioterrorism is a very much a reality. While this is not the book for me, I appreciate the author's imagination and realism presented in this book. Thanks for the review!
