The Chimera Vector (The Fifth Column, #1)

Thank you Nathan for bringing this book to my attention. I thoroughly enjoyed my excursion into your world. I was curious about the title.. so the inner geek in me truimphed and I used a dictionary...
Cimera - an illusion or fabrication of the mind, an unrealistic dream or an imaginary monster compounded of incongruous parts..
Vector - an agent (plasmid or virus) that contains modified genetic material...
From the first page, I was reminded of the action sequences in a James Bond film before the opening credits!
We focus on Sophia, an operative in the 5th Column, who are a private military organisation that helps governments around the world with terrorist problems or instability of any kind.
Sophia's op goes bad and she is seperated from her team and is captured by rebel 5th Column scientists.
(view spoiler)
it is so hard to stop writing about it because so much happens.
The whole story is a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying filled with unbelievable action sequences and fancy gadgets.
Just writing this review makes me want to go back and read it again!
My only problem was that we never know how Sophia is feeling... she is used as Typhiod Mary but there is no reaction from her.. she is injected with the antidote after being shot and again there is no reaction..she meets people she believed were dead and there is maybe a raised eyebrow.. I want to love her as a character and I can see why others are saying that she is 2 dimensional.
Having said that I am still happy with the overall story and hope that we see more of her team in the next installment.
The best stories are the ones that sneak into your thoughts days after you have finished!
