Martin’s (
The Antidote for Everything) latest novel believes that friends can bring each other back from the depths; protagonist Kiki Marchand, a doctor, knows this all too well, having relied for years on her six friends from med school. On their annual trip, including a cruise up the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier, they encounter a virus that will put their friendships to the test. Infectious disease specialist Kiki knows an artiovirus when she sees one; five of her friends contract the virus on their trip, spend 21 days in quarantine, then arrive back in the States to help fight the horrible virus and keep their families safe. The artiovirus will take each of Kiki’s friends on a journey from which no one will return unscathed.
VERDICT Some readers will find that it hits too close to reality, but there is beauty in Martin’s gem of a story that confirms that friendship is a powerful force.
