“How many cups were on it?”
“How many cups? I don’t know.”
“Ah,” Smith said. “You see, but you do not observe.”
“Sherlock Holmes,” she said with a grin. “Does that mean I get to be Watson?”
“Not yet. But I see potential. There were three cups and steam coming from the pot’s spout. You know better than me that Africans are nothing if not polite.”

Another pretty good book in the continuing saga of Jon Smith and the Covert-One team.

I remember stumbling on this series when all but the last two books were written. I read them like mad (listened to them actually) and then THE ARCTIC EVENT came out, so I added that one to the list. Then, it seemed like years and some book titled THE INFINITY AFFAIR appeared on fanatasticfiction.co.uk as though it were set to come out. Nothing anywhere here in North America... and then up pops Mills's THE ARES DECISION. Was James Cobb bumped off the project and Mills saved the day? No idea.

Good book and I remember the racing around from previous books, though it has been years. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about all the nuances of microbiology and disease and how something so small can terrorise the body so much. Mills picks up where others have left off and I could not really tell that it was not Ludlum writing. That said, I have no prior Kyle Mills experience, so it is hard to judge.

There were parts that dragged and I drifted from time to time, but it was a good effort.

Hoping the next installment is not as far off.

Kudos Mr. Mills!
