3.0 out of 5 stars An action packed story
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2022

Mitch Herron is an assassin hired to dispose of a militant group of fanatics who intend to release a virus that will kill most of the population on earth. The story opens with him enduring a round of torture at the hands of the leader of the group - some of it will cause readers to cringe. Finally, Mitch is injected with the same time-release virus that the terrorists injected themselves and is, therefore, now a carrier of the dreaded disease of which there is no cure. He knows he will die in less than three days and goes on a killing spree to stop the group of terrorists. On the way, he rescues a biochemist who knows about viruses and agrees to help him in his quest.

As the first book in a series, I would expect to learn more about the main character, Mitch, and the organization for which he works. There is nothing about his background or why he chose this line of work.
All we know is that he keeps count of the number of people he's killed. Mitch is portrayed as a cold-blooded killer and seemingly without a conscience. I found it odd that when he engaged a fellow assassin from the same group that hired him, the two could not work together for a common cause because of a special assassins' code.

The story kept me engaged and turned out to be a short read in under three hours. The author presents a twist at the end that readers will not expect. If you are interested in a swash-buckling type story, then this is for you. I enjoyed the read but will not be pursuing the rest of the series.

3.75 out of 5 stars
While reading The Omega Strain, I could tell that the book was going to be shorter than the average thriller novel I read. I paused it and quickly realized it was only a slightly longer than 3-hour book. I don’t mind that at all, I enjoy books that can complete a full arc in a short amount of time.

The problem that I had with The Omega Strain was that it didn’t really complete the arc. Sure, there was a beginning, middle, and “an end” but only sort of. The real ending appears to be coming in at least another two books.

Now, thankfully, I’m reading this as a box set – so I can jump right into book two. But when you need another book to make the first book feel okay – it’s a strike in my book.

But, onto the things that I did enjoy. The virus chat was pretty good – Vincent didn’t dive too deep into it alluding to a lot of things (and making the reader infer/guess some others). But, I still enjoyed the premise and I thought that the systematic assassinations of the carriers were pretty freaking BA.

Mitch Herron as a character is someone that I’m still getting used to. I think I’ll like him, but right now there just isn’t enough going on and enough character building to know how I really feel.

Overall, it’s a book that feels like it needed a bit more, but still, a book that I enjoyed. Vincent could have doubled the length of it and really added some good detail in it that I felt was missing.

I’m a little curious how much of a full arc each book will have, or if the full box set will have a better overall arc.

The book started as a story about a killing machine. There were not many clues as to the reason for his mission. As the story moved on as a mission failed scene then to a redemption storyline. The twist and turns were done with precision combined with a few unforeseen events.
Thanks for the great read, a real page turner!

It's a short 150 pages book. So obviously it's purely plot based book. Mitch Harron is the protagonist who's a government assassin, hunting a group of fanatics who are planning to unleash a dangerous virus. However he ended up getting caught and injected with the same virus. Mitch is now after every person who was injected with this virus and end their life. There was no backstory of the protagonist, neither of any other character. The story moves at a breakneck speed and there's no room for fillers. A good weekend read.

Mitch Herron doesn’t leave things to chance but prepares for his missions very carefully until it all goes haywire and he’s forced to act quickly to prevent evil from happening. Do you agree with his methods? What would you do if you were in his position? I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Kudos to the author for a fantastic story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
