The Superbug Sequence is a bio-thriller set in the not-so-distant future that dramatizes a world where billionaire industrialist, Castleton Bering, schemes to wrest control of the antibiotic market for his own personal power and financial gain. To execute his plans, Bering recruits a ruthless team of operatives who will target four pharmaceutical companies developing a new class of antibiotics. Bering plans to steal those firms' molecular designs and retain sole ownership of what has become a scarce and valuable resource drugs that have the potential to cripple the virulent MDROs (Multidrug-Resistant Organisms), holding the U.S. healthcare system and its government hostage.
The Superbug Sequence begins in East Africa, where prominent science writer Terrence Landau contracts an affliction which he carries across the Atlantic right into the Oval Office. Landau's intractable medical problems become a symbol of the battle being fought against unseen microbes infecting the bodies of people across the globe. Meanwhile, Bering begins his rogue operation by wreaking havoc at Aurora Pharmaceuticals, a small firm based in Boston. The cyber-attack seeks to uncover the firm's cache of diverse intellectual properties; namely, a group of molecular designs and specific instructions for how the individual molecules could be synthetically blended to behave as potent antibiotics.
What Bering does not count on is the brilliance and tenacity of the investigative agents the U.S. government has called in to deal with the cyber-crime at Aurora. Colonel Isidore Ehrlich, Ph.D. and the sagacious biochemical sleuth from the FBI, Dr. Paula Fitzgerald, are asked to lead the investigation. Both experts are strong-willed and, although they clash at times, they not only come to respect each other’s expertise, but on one of the darkest nights of the investigation, their connection unexpectedly deepens. As they continue to probe for clues, they are horrified to discover evidence that Bering plans to use state-of-the-art nano-robot technology to spread disease against individuals and governments. This chilling realization leads them to believe that Bering's enterprise poses an immense and imminent threat to the United States and the world.
As The Superbug Sequence unfolds in Africa, the United States, and Estonia, it interweaves cyber-crime, microbiological wizardry, conflicting views on the American healthcare crisis, and a burgeoning romance into an eerie bio-thriller. The novel is a thought-provoking parody about capitalism and the hazards of biotechnology.

The Superbug Sequence is a new bio-thriller by J.W. Steinberg which highlights a critical, but under-reported issue—that of the use and abuse of antibiotics--which is contributing to a healthcare crisis which may prove to be of massive proportion. In the novel, Steinberg posits a world where a billionaire pharmaceutical mogul manipulates the antibiotic market to control the production and dissemination of those drugs. The Superbug Sequence contextualizes antibiotic shortages within the geo-political frameworks which have left human beings vulnerable to such shortages. As Steinberg’s dystopic novel contends, the poor are much more likely to suffer the consequences than the super-rich. And more and more, healthcare will become the ground upon which class struggle plays itself out. In the novel, that struggle is mirrored by the evolutionary strategies of bacteria themselves, which, as living organisms, struggle to survive.The Superbug Sequence is riveting and a must read for anyone interested in the way politics and medicine intersect to form a deadly potion.

The Superbug Sequence edition by JW Steinberg Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Today, doctors are facing a nightmare scenario many disease-causing bacteria are developing resistance to all of our available antibiotics. If this trend continues, doctors will be as helpless as they were in the pre-antibiotic era. The one thing that could make this worse is greed. What would happen if some "pharma bro" enlisted the world's top cybercriminals to help him corner the market on the new antibiotics that would be needed to fight the multidrug resistant bacteria?
My favorite type of books are “Terror”; “bio-thriller”; “legal”; “medical” etc.'. So I was glad to find that new book, which on its face seems to fit my expectation of a good “bio-thriller”. Unfortunately I abounded it after reading about a 3rd of it.
At first, I couldn’t put my finger as of what is the real reason why the book, which is supposed to belong to an action genre, would not draw me in. Then I realized that most of the actions are conversations. Lots of dialogues. The only actions are people flying all over the world and the state.
Regarding the main characters, they are not even one dimension, very shallow, and even boring.
Once I got to about a 3rd of the book, reading the chapter that has to do with computer hacking, I felt embarrassed. I mean that part is so stupid and childish, that I just gave up. It resembled a description of kids playing a very low level of old computer games, or better yet an old movie (1970’s) of a talking computer.
