There’s a fast-mutating organism seeping out of an underground storage facility, and it wants to wipe out humanity. It falls to a quick-thinking bioterror specialist to put the thing back in its box.

Your mind might start to wander halfway through all the running around. But as pure popcorn goes, it’s a fun-enough read. Reviewed on Aug. 22, 2020
