The Hero Virus by Russell Dumper

Thank you @rararesources for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Hero Virus is a thriller genre which is about Chris who is struggling with life due to losing his wife and then suddenly Chris gets ill and everything changes for him, and he can’t understand what’s happening. I found Hero Virus enthralling read that hooks you from start to finish. I liked that there was a lot of action going through the book that kept me entertained. The story was easy to get in to and Chris is a likeable character and I did feel sorry for him going through all the stuff he was going through, losing his wife, dog and being ill. I like how there were twists in the book that I didn’t see coming. I did feel like I was on a rollercoaster reading this book because I had no clue what would happen next. The Hero Virus is an entertaining read, and I liked how it was something different from what I normally read. 4 stars. Blurb The Hero Virus tells the thrilling story of Chris Taylor, who is hanging on to life by a thread. Recently widowed, his only reason to carry on is his faithful Labrador, but even that doesn’t stop his willingness to gamble with death every day. When his companion suffers a violent demise, Taylor thinks he has nothing left to live for, until he discovers he has chanced upon a precious gift… when he gets very ill. The sickness gives him powers and, fairly soon, the authorities are swooping on to the ever- increasing list of cases. The Hero Virus might be different to other illnesses, but it’s no less dangerous. The effect it has on the world, though, is wildly different to any other virus that has come before. The unique reaction of the human body to infection means that everyone wants it. And some will do anything to get it. How do you stop a pandemic when there are people who will kill for the virus? How do you stop people getting infected when they’re willing to die for it? How do you stop the infected when they have abilities nobody has ever seen before?
