Black Monday
By R. Scott Reiss
Simon & Schuster, 2007
ISBN 9780731813483
This highly entertaining book follows what happens when a genetically engineered bacterium that can destroy petroleum and machines that use it is released into the world’s oil supply. It tracks the chaos that is produced.
It follows these events through the eyes of a group of people and one person who is investigating the cause of the event. The book is well paced, energetic and highly absorbing. Characterization is good and the writing is first rate.
This is an excellent book that is well worth a read as it forces you to consider just how quickly all we know could become unraveled. Scary.
