Description
Outbreaks of life-threatening infectious diseases are spreading quicker and with more unpredictability than ever. (Press release) C.D.C Atlanta, GA, 2017
USA Today announced. In 2018, U.S. deaths from mass-murder and suicide hit the highest level since record-keeping began in 1968
As viciousness starts covering the planet, a youthful, MIT prepared researcher needs his friend and mentor's assistance to stop a lethal virus he's made. However, as Lucas and Noah race the clock endeavoring to avert 7.5 billion deaths, they rapidly understand the infection isn't the main thing attempting to execute them.
I wrote this book to cover the massive amount of homicidal behavior that the human race has adopted throughout the past few years. Now, this is a work of fiction, however, almost every event listed has already taken place in real time. I spent countless hours going over data to ensure accurate and detailed information. Utilizing the FBI, Nat-Geo, the U.S Dept.of Vital Statistics, and the C.D.C (Center for Disease Control) as well as consulting with Senior Virologist John Walsh and his entire staff, helped make my story groundbreaking and unlike any out there.

"5.0 out of 5 stars It's scary because it seems real.

Alright, let’s talk about the tone of this book, the narration and the main characters were very conversation. It was a comfortable read, and though some aspects of the book can be described as overused or cliche tropes (a virus that infects everyone and a race against the clock) it didn't necessarily feel cliche, and that is mostly due to the fact that it felt real. Between the conversation style of speaking, the actual (non fictitious) events peppered in along with the science background all made this book seem like it was non fiction, which is truly horrifying.

It's a work of fiction but could easily be real. I'd suggest true crime fans would like this as well as fiction fans. This reminds me of Robin Cook's early works.

This wasn’t my typical read, I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone with books lately and I was not disappointed.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

No plan is perfect. When a brilliant teenager with a keen lack of social skills is approached by the military and given the opportunity to save his family and their farm, he creates the “perfect” weapon, a virus that should ultimately wipe out any enemies of the U.S. Or so young Lucas thought. What he created was Armegeddon and there was no stopping it. There was never a failsafe, a cure, but a fourteen-year-old boy did his job, just a little too well, then again, it was never supposed to be unleashed, or so he was told.
Years later, it is discovered that the virus had been unleashed, sat dormant and finally exploded on the world and not a single living creature on earth was safe. The clock was running down on the planet and two CDC scientists could be the last hope.
D.M. Rasey’s THE FLAW is an edge-of-your-seat thriller written in such a way that the characters and events feel quite plausible. The writing is simple, straightforward and each event is easy to follow as the world becomes to succumb to a madness and eventual death. Actual events are woven into this tale and political machinations of world governments add another layer of chilling scenarios. Who could be trusted? What was the real purpose behind its creation? A tale sure to grip the imaginations of readers as we wonder, could this really happen? Is it happening right now?
I was invited to read this book by BooksGoSocial. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Virus end of the world.
This story is amazing. Me and my partner spend a lot of time thinking of how the world will end and most time we come up with two, someone releases a virus that wipes out the human world or someone presses the red button and the world blows up.
In so many ways this book is true the government does all the things in this book, the world is oblivious to the true destruction these people in charge do.
Thank you to Netgalley/ D.M.Rasey/ BookGoSocial for the ARC in exchange for an honest review
