[Margaret Nicolas · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Arbonox Syndrome is a well-executed action‑conspiracy thriller with strong pacing, believable characters, and poignant thematic relevance. Its tight narrative and high tension make it a solid pick for fans of modern political‑thrillers. While a few scenes lean more on exposition, most readers find the storytelling immersive and hard to put down.

The story shows a small group trying to help people dying from a deadly virus. As more and more helping the Ardonox people to spread the virus, the people fighting against virus are killed by the Ardonox soldiers. The reporter, Lain, tries to provide the source and spread of the pandemic, and is drawn into the good people. The writing is clear, and smooths through the many kills with little gory details. This is definite a story as it flows through anguish of fighting against the Ardonox forces, as the reader roots for the good guys. You will look for a miracle right up to the end.
