The plot of the book sounds really interesting. Mixing journalism with espionage is a sure way of getting a nail-biting thriller when properly executed, and the author seems to have done a wonderful job. Congratulations on BOTD!

Thank you for your review. I read the sample. This novel is about the bird flu virus in Vietnam. The freelance journalist has a story that tells the truth about the corruption of this epidemic. With her friend and her adopted brother, she is in hiding while Sinclair Baine, head of East Asia News Agency, is trying to find her. Congrats to the author for the #BOTD.

That is a very nice review. You can't help but think of the COVID-19 pandemic when you read this book. Yes, these pandemics make a lot of money for a lot of people but look at what it costs this world. So many people were killed by it. Don't these maniacs have a conscience?

In "The Antigen: The Seed of Corruption Pt 2" by A. I. Fabler, the story continues with journalist Caroline and wildlife painter Faraday on a perilous quest. Their mission: to bring corrupt groups to justice. These groups, among their many misdeeds, are contaminating drinking water with viruses and distributing untested vaccines. Their actions are driven by greed and a hunger for power. Caroline and Faraday's lives are constantly at risk, adding a palpable tension and suspense to their daring pursuit of justice. Thanks for an insightful review.

This book reminded me of the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm still grateful that it is now a thing of the past. I'm sure people with a love for medical stories would appreciate it. Congratulations on the book of the day.

The Antigen by A.I. Fabler is a gripping tale that delves into the dark world of corruption and the pursuit of truth. It follows journalists risking their lives to expose a massive crime involving "disease for profit." The story explores themes of morality, power, and the fight for justice in a world where the truth is often suppressed.

I like how The Antigen uses a man-made health crisis as the looming threat of the story. As biotechnology advances, it is easier for nefarious people to use it for their own ends. Readers interested in journalism-focused works will enjoy it.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

Wow… this book sounds like a total rollercoaster of intensity and depth. I love how it blends real-world issues like journalism ethics and big pharma corruption with suspense and thriller vibes. Honestly, The Antigen: The Seed of Corruption Pt 2 feels like the kind of story that’ll make your heart race and your brain spin—definitely going on my list!

The novel is the last section. Caroline, an American investigative journalist and nature painter, had important knowledge that may change the world. They learned from Caroline's adopted brother Tuan that viruses were being purposefully altered in a lab in Hanoi, Vietnam, and then dispersed to water sources in an attempt to start a pandemic of bird flu. Very interesting BOTD.

Latest Review: Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella) by Steve William Laible

Post by Bettny Andrade »

This book is the second part of a biology series. It's about a painter of exotic plants and a team of journalists who follow the trail of a news story involving the manipulation of certain viruses to create a pandemic and stabilize the world. It has drama, mystery, and suspense. The characters and the setting are very well described. It's a great choice for today. #BOTD

I love how the this book has a significant explanation of the previous book. It keeps a reader from wondering necessary information about the first book. I agree, from what I read, the characters are well developed. I didn't read as much as the reviewer so I couldn't see the lack of development of the main character. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Three individuals with insider information, greedy pharma companies, a deadly virus, relentless pursuers and scruplous Government, "The Antigen: The Seed of Corruption Pt 2" by A. I. Fabler is the concluding part of an earlier story. I love stories with intricate plots like this, and I think I'm gonna add this to my collections.
