Review of "Darwin's Radio" by Greg Bear

4 stars

A compelling, well-told story built on a deep understanding of science -- not just the content, but its people, culture, and relationships with government and policy. The book moves briskly in many places, but drags in some. Good characters with complex relationships explore familiar themes in the outbreak genre: competing scientific theories, competing policy positions, iconoclasts against the establishment, truth against mob mentality, and ultimately humankind versus itself.
