I'm re-reading it after first reading it almost 20 years ago. I must have sped-read through many of the early chapters about the anti-terrorist group training and doing several missions, because I don't remember any of it (but it is really good). I think the first time, I was mainly interested in the main-focus of the story; the eco-terrorists attempt to wipe out the world with their deadly virus. It is very scary to consider how relatively easy it would be for a group to do that, especially now that they can develop viruses to attack specific racial groups!
