Why read it?
1 author picked The Thanatos Syndrome as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoy that this novel does not use the plague device. Rather, it explores the ramifications of the abuse of power by authorities who manipulate private citizens to be unwitting participants in medical experimentations.
Rarely are medical thrillers–especially those of the plague variety–sexy books, yet this book manages to be so, as a decrease in sexual inhibitions is a side effect of the chemical being foisted on the populace.
From Ty's list on medical thrillers for doomsday phobics.
