It's the second decade of the twenty-first century, and terrorism has escalated almost beyond control. New weapons are being spawned in remote basement labs, and no one feels safe. In North America, the FBI uses cutting-edge technology to thwart domestic terrorists. The War on Terror has reached a deadly stalemate. The FBI has been dispatched to deal with a new menace. Like the Anthrax threat of 2001, a plague targeted to ethnic groups has the potential to wipe out entire populations. But the FBI itself is under political assault. There's a good chance that agents William Griffin, Fouad Al-Husam, and Jane Rowland will be part of the last class at Quantico. As the young agents hunt a brilliant homegrown terrorist, they join forces with veteran bio-terror expert Rebecca Rose. But the plot they uncover-and the man they chase-prove far more complex than anyone expects. Quantico is a selection of: Book-of-the-Month Club, Science Fiction Book Club, Military Book Club, Mystery Guild, American Compass Book Club, and Quality Paperback Book Club.

Quantico (Quantico Series #1)
Well It has been some times since I have read any new Greg Bear (and I will admit I have no idea why this book was already listed as read) but it brought back quite a few memories. The first is that I forgot how much I enjoyed his work - even though it does not necessarily sit well with others. I still think Blood Music is a great book although I know options are divided.
Then there is the other side of to his work. Greg Bear to me is a hard science fiction writer and as such does like to cite a lot of possible or near possible technology. Now this might be the reason for some peoples dislike of his work for me, however had worked in and along side similar technology the "what if.." questions posed are all too plausible. And that for me mixed with the human element makes for a very potent and chilling story.
Yes the action is slow to start with, with a lot of disconnected narratives running along side each other where you think what the connection is - but it is not till the later stages do you actually realise what is going on. I particularly like how more connections are exposed in the book which take a tenuous link and make it realistic and plausible.
Greg Bear is to me a great story teller and apart from his habit of occasionally over explaining the science present (which at times is neither needed or even welcome) he is able to take a story and make it both fantastic and credible at the same time.
