A half-dead man crashes his car at the Iraqi border. He is picked up by a British patrol and found to have suffered a rare reaction to the smallpox vaccine. But why are the Iraqis innoculating their population against a disease which has been wiped out for twenty years?
A young Iraqi student at the Institute of Molecular Science in Edinburgh, Scotland kills himself for no apparent reason. Nobody links these incidents until Adam Dewar, investigating the movement of smallpox virus fragments between UK research institutes, stumbles on the horrific possibility that the student had been under pressure from the Iraqis to reconstruct the virus. And with the continued presence of the Iraqi secret service in the city, Dewar can only conclude that they are waiting for someone else to finish the job.
And then smallpox breaks out on the Muirhouse Estate, one of the poorest and most densely populated areas in Edinburgh. The priority is to contain the virus, but with the death toll rising, riots breaking out on the estate and the iraqis still waiting, Dewar is in a race against time to discover the source of the disease and prevent it falling into the hands of a hostile nation. A nation that would only be too willing to hold the world to ransom.

RESURRECTION edition by Ken McClure Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
I very much enjoyed Ken McClure's, 'Resurrection'! It was somewhat odd to read about Saddam Hussein.. but, as this book is a little older.. we can only give thanks that Iraq did NOT get it's hands on Smallpox. I was vaccinated against the disease in the mid Sixties. But, when the WHO eliminated smallpox in the seventies.. vaccinations for it were no longer seen as needed. This book takes on a nice twist of how researchers are still using portions of the smallpox genome to create CURES for other diseases that plague us today.'Resurrection' is about a government official sent to find out how many research facilities have more of the smallpox genome fragments than they claim to have. To find out if someone in the research community is trying to resurrect smallpox to use against the unprotected citizens of Europe. While he is on assignment.. a drug addict is admitted to the local hospital with a severe case of smallpox.
Soon, the hospitals are filling with victims. And, there's no vaccine forthcoming. The officials must work together to find WHERE the first victim caught smallpox.. and to find out if it's tied to an Iraqi student who recently committed suicide.
The book flows nicely! From beginning to end. You just need to get your mindset SET.. before 9/11. I don't want to spoil the ending. But, it's terrifying that it could be this easy to resurrect the smallpox virus. May our children NEVER have to go through anything like what Ken McClure wrote about.. in 'Resurrection'.

RESURRECTION edition by Ken McClure Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Dr. Dewar is not your average doctor; he's a medical investigator with the British government. When smallpox breaks out in Edinburgh he must follow the leads to find the source. The story features Iraqis as the villains (maybe), confrontations with the "yobs", a difficult police commander, and several scientists. Interesting mix of characters and a plausible story make this an interesting read.
formatting is not particularly good but isn't a dealbreaker.
Really enjoyed the read. It was a fairly easy read but kept my attention to the end. Thought provoking plot. Highly recommended, will look to read more from Ken McClure.
Wow. I have nothing but praise for this book. Just when one thinks there couldn't possibly be another twist on a plot involving a deadly virus getting loose in the world, along comes Ken McClure and his evil mind.
The characters were believable, the balance between action and character development was nicely done, and (the real winning component for me), there was a good amount of scientific info which allowed me to come away knowing more than I did going in.
Bravo, Mr. McClure. You can bet I'll be looking for your name on the book spines from now on.
Being a huge fan of medical thrillers this book hit the spot perfectly. The characters were well rounded and the storyline gripping.
I first came across this author's books with the Dr Dunbar series and were hesitant about another main character in the same role....not to worry....he is just as likeable!
After reading "Pestilence" by Ken McClure, I definitely wanted to read "Resurrection" and I was not disappointed! It is one incredible story!
This medical mystery has a rather unassuming doctor, Adam Dewar, investigating the source of a smallpox virus that threatens to bring the killer disease back to the world's population in horrendous fashion. Contemporary in nature, "Resurrection" involves the Iraqis and a Scottish medical research facility working on a vaccination for the AIDS virus.
What is the connection between the two ... or is there a connection at all? Dewar thinks so; he does not believe in coincidence, but he has no evidence. His investigation takes the reader around some dark corners and through lots of hills and valleys.
The characters are quite believable and, unfortunately, so is the story. Pretty darn scary. I don't want to give up too much information ... that's for you to gather as you read this true page-turner.
I was bothered a bit by some punctuation problems, specifically quotation marks denoting conversation. But that will NOT detract from your reading enjoyment. Get the book and settle in for a great ride!
One thing is for sure I will be looking for more Ken McClure!
