Vector.

In Dr.Robin Cook's book, Vector, the use of biochemical weapons is an inconspicuous threat to New York City. A Russian immigrant by the name of Yuri is under the impression that he has been denied the "American Dream" by the government and is now working to get his revenge. His previous job at the Soviet biological weapons industry gives him the advanced knowledge he needs to create the ultimate terror: a modern bioweapon.
As I read Vector, I became more aware of the fact that each and every breath is important and you never know when it might be your last. Terrorism is widely known all over the world, but most people think of it along the lines of  a bombing or a catastrophe such as 9/11. Many people do not realize that bioterrorism is widespread in many parts of the world.  I was shocked at the unbelievable number of organizations that are actively supporting certain types of terrism today. People worldwide live thier lives blindly, not knowing what is happening around them; not realizing that today could be thier last. Others live in denial, not wanting to accept the facts. As evil begins to slowly take over globally, Americans will continue to live in fear. I believe everyone should live each day to the fullest, as if it truely were thier last.
