Gravity, by Tess Gerritsen
Gravity is a modern day thriller revolving around the International Space Station.
The basic concept is that an experiment goes awry in zero gravity, creating a strain of a microbe that attacks humans and uses them for breeding grounds, killing the humans. This runs rampant through the ISS, while on the ground the husband of one of the astronauts tries to solve the mystery of what the microbe is and how to defeat it.
Gravity is a fun read. I didn't like how the astronauts on the ISS tended to overlook fairly obvious warning signs, but then I know they're in a book about a killer microbe, and they don't. Otherwise, it was well paced, and the conclusion, while a bit obvious, was nevertheless satisfying.
