Book Reviews of The Trudeau Vector
Book Review: Good Thriller, Well Worth a Rainy Afternoon
Summary: 3 Stars
Research: A
Cultural Context: B
Plotting: A-B
Characterization: B-C
Novelist Craft: A-B
Piano-wire-tight, fast-paced thriller, reminiscent of Crichton's Andromeda Strain. Jurjevics shows great expertise in artic know-how, military gear and procedures, and epidemiology, enough to show he does his research right.
Where he shines, though, is in the novelist craft. While I could fault him for the occasional extended exposition, he writes rather well, and builds believable characters that are distinct and believable. I actually didn't like his female protagonist, but I could picture knowing her.
If I could have given him advice prior to publishing, I would have asked him to choose a better title and to give his stereotype jerk scientists (2 in all) more depth.
Great plot twist at the end -- I'll dig out more of his books and read them.
