The Contagion - A Review

This book presents a fictional account of one man's search to find the cause of his wife's death. It is a superb blend of a fictional storyline with current dental research linking oral microbiological organisms and systemic diseases. Anyone will enjoy the story, and medical people will appreciate the potential links to microbiology. Who knows --- in 10 or 15 years, this book may no longer be classified as fiction!

I loved "The Contagion"!

I met Dan Watt in May of this year on a plane from Charlotte, NC to New Bern, NC. He told me about "The Contagion" and I thought, "what the heck", I'll go out and buy it and see what it's all about. I have to admit, I did not expect it to be that interesting, even after reading the back cover. But, once I started reading, I couldn't put it down! It is well written, with a fascinating and wonderful storyline. I especially like the way the story has such depth, not only into the main focus of the plot, but into the characters themselves, and their relationships with one another. The only weak part of the book was with one of the characters, Mark. I believe there should have been more depth and detail written into his character, and I felt disappointed in that. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this book. I just wish I knew when the sequel was going to be available, and what the title of it was. Thanks, Dan. It was nice meeting you.....I just wish I'd been able to converse with you better over the loud engines of the plane!

A gripping medical novel

The Contagion is a gripping medical novel tells of a dentist who discovers that deadly bacteria causing numerous common problems are rooted in a controllable gum disease that the dental industry has a stake in not revealing. His political battles blend with personal concerns about a lonely daughter and a beautiful woman in this satisfying blend of romance and thriller.
