CIA agents discover the Alaskan village, Brevig Mission. The site of an eighty year old deadly flu outbreak, one which nearly wiped out the entire village, is found frozen, virtually intact. U.S. government researchers are immediately assigned to develop a vaccine that will neutralize the effects of this dreaded disease. Despite acute military security measures, a Saudi extremist group is thought to be responsible for discovered attempts to infiltrate and sabotage the operation. Gary and John, co-owners of SecurityCheck, a company that audits security systems for big companies and their elite crew of experts, are hired to catch the culprits and clean up the debris.

The Brevig Mission Plague by Frank Simon is a timely, inspirational action thriller focusing on the very real thread of post 9/11 bioterrorism. This is the second installment in Simon's Heist Company series that started with The Jewel in the Crown (Barbour, 2003). Writing style is easy to follow. Sense of time and place is ever present. Storyline is equally plot and character driven. Main characters are well developed. Dialog moves story steadily along. Mood and atmosphere are appropriately reflected. Frank Simon is author of seven books, including The Raptor Virus (Broadman & Holman, 2001) and The Y2K Bug (Broadman & Holman, 1999). Recommended for larger public libraries.
