Chapter 32 Analysis

This chapter does not have a lot of action. It is more descriptive. It describes the sadistic scientist and alerts the reader to the level of danger that is imminent. However, the reader still does not know who the target is. Once again, without using flashback, Cussler is able to catch the reader up to the present by telling about the history of the lab, the scientist, and the virus effectively.
