We both enjoyed this uncomplicated, but intriguing, educational, adventurous, and totally entertaining novel. Brett, A CDC doctor gets involved with a virus in Guatemala that migrates elsewhere in an unknown way. He commits himself (I heard the Indiana Jones theme song in my mind continuously) to determining the type of virus, it’s origin, how it spread, and where it spread. He is relentless to the point that he ignores CDC limitations and guidelines given the immediate resolution required. His actions include break-ins, crimes against the Guatemalan government who were fighting the rebels wanting to takeover, armed involvement and alleged murder, assaulting Monks, etc. at the least. And, when there is a beautiful damsel in distress involved, it’s much easier to do. Did I mention the absolutely wonderful and heroic stray dog he takes in called Tequila? His exploits mainly happen in Guatemala, New Mexico, and Chicago where the villain, Scar, is out to kill Kari, the damsel in distress. Who is backing Scar? Who is funding the underlining revolt? How is the Guatemalan government involved? Read and find out yourself why everyone is out to get Kari? You’ll enjoy the adventure and gain a lot of education re viruses and vaccines which are factual and very appropriate during this 2020 COVID-19 virus event.

Plunder is a timely, (I am reading this during the second Covid-19 lock-down in Europe) well written and enjoyable book. A lethal virus pops up in remote Guatemala and the hero, a CDC investigator, heads off to the steaming jungles in the midst of the wet season to investigate. The same virus mysteriously pops up in a monastery in the US. How, if at all, are the outbreaks connected?
Although there are many novels in this genre, I found Plunder to be exceptional as it brings the activities of the CDC to life in a real way. The characters and settings are very believable and, as the author has an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, the reader can relax and enjoy the journey without being constantly distracted by 'fake facts' or errors.
The characters are decent, likable with a mixture of good traits and flaws which makes them believable and keeps the reader guessing to the end who the baddie actually is.
I enjoyed the settings as well, the descriptions of wet, steamy Guatemala and its dicey Government forces contrast nicely with the dry US SW desert and the equally suspicious monks.
Do yourself a favor and read Plunder, even though it deals with a serious subject matter, you will find it entertaining, fascinating and hard to put down.

this was a great mystery thriller, it had a great suspenseful atmosphere that I wanted from this type of book. The plot was fun and interesting.

I have struggled to finish books this year, but surprised myself by getting to the end of this one - in spite of finding the male lead unpleasant! I also guessed the cause of the illness from a crime book I read a few years ago. The book was well written, without too many leaps of faith - worth a go.
