I wonder why the author choose to make the outbreak start in Africa because it does not really need to start in any one place. I was thinking that his reasoning might have been the one of, Africa has very few huge cities. Also Maybe he was trying to enforce the AIDS metaphor because Africa has been hit very hard be AIDS. I also though it might be because they wanted the main characters to not be defending home territory so that when they returned you could really bask in the devastation.

What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?
I did not like the way it ended. It set it up for a second book. There was no real scene of closure. It was sort of like, this happens la la la buy my second book. I felt a bit cheated because I was hoping that I could figure out was caused it or if there was a cure but there was nothing. No information was displayed at the end there was no ending. It was almost as if it was the end of the chapter not the end of a book. I was so close to flipping to the back to make sure there were no missing pages and no hidden compartments. Alas there were none.
