She scuttled the CCP's biowarfare plans. When they catch her, she will pay.
Dr. Meiling Chen is a brilliant young virologist with a groundbreaking discovery that could change the face of biowarfare. But when she discovers the Chinese Communist Party's plans to misuse her work, she knows she must act - even if it means risking her own life. On the run from CCP agents, she must find her way to America while staying one step ahead of her pursuers.
Ryan Adams, a meteorologist and well-known blogger in Bend, Oregon, is desperate for reliable information on China's bioweapons program. But when Meiling's path crosses his, he finds himself in the middle of a deadly game of cat and mouse. With the CCP agents in hot pursuit, Meiling and Ryan must find a way to keep the truth and their lives from slipping away.

Note: H. L. Wegley's thrillers are gripping but never contain gross, graphic, or gratuitous content.

Excellent Edge-of-your-seat Thriller

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

Dr Meiling Chen starts out running from a lab in China to her lab in Hong Kong, almost caught, got her data, then how to escape to San Francisco? She remembers an old friend. Action from the very first page! And that’s how the series starts! This book was part of a set earlier, but I reread it to refresh my memory so I could continue with the other two books in the series. I love Wegley’s books! They always keep me on the edge of my seat! Always well researched! And always excellent adventures, with some light romance and a faith theme too, including a discussion about God’s forgiveness! And the “war against the darkness” begins!

A Very Good Story With Strong Potential

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

Verified Purchase

The story was fast paced and fully engaging, and I appreciated the clean romance, but the entire story covers about a week’s time. In that time the characters meet for the first time and are running for their lives constantly. The idea that they are falling in love and thinking about marriage during all that happens to them is beyond believable. Attraction yes, interest certainly, but that happened within the first hour which absolutely would not have happened in that situation in real life. Meiling has never known a man she could trust and she would not suddenly trust and fall in love with a total stranger in a foreign county in a matter of days while fleeing for her life. Slow down the romance and the book would earn 5 stars.

I so enjoyed reading this book. As scary as the recent pandemic was, this story rocked my world with revelations of what quite realistically may have happened during that time. Well written, with excellent character development, the author keeps the pace racing along. This is a book that is hard to put down, and I am anxious to begin the sequel.

Interesting and Fast-paced

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023

A very interesting story. The author moved it along quickly; it was never boring. We hear so much in the news about the evilness of the CCP, but sadly I feel like their is a lot of evilness in our own government too. Maybe not as evil as the CCP, but it is hard to trust today.

Facing the Darkness

I had a hard time getting into reading this book. I'm not sure why. It took me two false starts before I decided to read it all. Once I did, I found it full of scientific theories that were over my head. I do think it was well written, found no errors in the context, and as I got further into it, I found it interesting reading. It was just that I didn't understand the principles presented.

This is an action novel with elements of romance but not sappy. I finished it in a single day. I think you’ll enjoy it.

This book tells what many patriotic Americans already know. China does not follow our rules, or anyone else. A bit too much scientific detail. Lost me.

A Short compelling read

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023

Facing The Darkness" by H.L. Wegley is a short read but it keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is a full tale of a gripping thriller. I really like His books because they never contain swear words and the terror is never too graphic and never have sex scenes, even through romance is part of his tales.
This first book in the series is about a Chinese scientist escaping China because the Chinese want to use bioweapons to infect virus on the world to control it. Can she keep herself and others that are helping her safe. Her research is put to the test when the enemy releases a delay virus and it hits one of her helpers who is turning into someone that is more than a helper. This book also shares a little of the Gospel about forgiveness as Dr. Meiling Chen finds it hard to forgive herself for things that she has done why working in the Chinese lab. I was so disappointed when the book ended I wanted to read more, so I guess that means I have to read the next book as as I can. If you want a short, compelling read that you can't put down till the end then I suggest you get a copy of"Facing The Darkness" by H.L. Wegley. I don't think you will be disappointed.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and these opinions are my own.
