The characters depth and scientific backgrounds are believable which shows Preston did his fair share of research in creating them. Though it’s a novel the story reads like it could be a case file. It’s been a long time since I read a book like that. From the opening pages I had one of those books in my hand that make you want to go to bed early so that you had more time to read. Richard Preston created a masterpiece with this book. I didn’t know what was missing from my literary life until I finally dove into The Cobra Event. From the outside looking in I equated it with like an Outbreak or ER type of story, I thought all the medical stuff would bore me. I would look at it lingering on my book list and wonder if a medical thriller could catch my attention and keep it. Richard Preston’s The Cobra Event was one of those books I had my eye on for a long time but never pulled the trigger on.
