The End of October by Lawrence Wright

A global pandemic, quarantine, a race for a cure… sound familiar? It was eerie reading this book during a pandemic. And this novel is the definition of a page-turner. I agree with other reviewers comparing Lawrence Wright to Michael Crichton. There was obviously a huge amount of research completed by Wright about the history of diseases, and it was particularly interesting to read considering what is going on right now. Pick up this book if you want to read a medical thriller!
