Book Review: White Plague by James Abel – Intrigue and Danger in the High North!

White Plague by James Abel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Here’s a book to update some of your knowledge of the far North and if you don’t know the vocabulary word, Sastrugi, you will learn something new about navigation in Arctic and Antarctic storms.
Author James Abel has put together a well-organized adventure, disease mystery and superpower standoff in a tension laced novel. Hero Joe Rush leads his band of marines on a medical rescue of the disabled submarine, The Montana through an arctic blizzard while racing against time, disease and the Chinese naval attempt to salvage our weapons and navigation technology from the disaster. Who is the deep-seated Mole in the American team? How does Colonel Rush manage to get out of the trap set by his Chinese nemesis Captain Zhou on the ice flow? What is the American Government trying to hide about the long-lost events at Fort Riley, Kansas from the past? If you are a skeptic about immunizations, you need to read about the statistics of the plagues that devastated the Old World for nearly a Millenium. Loved the book, a great read for your next trip to the far North!
