The Ares Decision by Kyle Mills
I read Fade by Kyle Mills a few years ago and have it on my bookshelf and remember it as a good book. So I bought The Ares Decision by Mills in December 2015, even though it was published under the Robert Ludlum post-death series of books (as you might surmise, I am not a big fan of series continuing beyond the life of the author).
It is part of the Covert-One series, all written by different authors after Ludlum's death. Covert One is a secret security organization set up by the President of the United States that is known to only a handful of people. In this story an African madman has found a parasite that turns infected people into beserkers who become stronger, faster, and deadlier than a normal person. Anyone they infect becomes a carrier for the parasite and is highly contagious. After a special ops team is destroyed by the infected, Covert One becomes involved and the chase is on.
The action is almost nonstop and the plot moves along at a fast pace. The charecters are interesting. The storyline is plausable as new viruses are and lifeforms are being discovered as more remote places on this planet are being travelled.
Now I love stories about contagion, viruses, etc so that was an easy read for me. But also a great one. I couldn't put it down once I started. Another great book by Mills.
