What if perfect peace and happiness were a contagious disease? In this fast-paced, thought-provoking thriller, a schizophrenic scientist, an ambitious Chicago psychiatrist, and a hard-driving Army colonel are at the center of a frantic international struggle between the powers of government and a mind-bending outbreak of cosmic consciousness.
A bizarre illness spreads through a Chicago psychiatric hospital. Dr Carl Marley, a bored but ambitious psychiatrist, seizes the chance to grab some attention by “discovering” the new disorder. But when an Army colonel summons him to a government-sponsored taskforce to investigate the syndrome, he learns the disease he thought he’d discovered is already so widespread in the military that it threatens to undermine the foundations of power. A high-stakes race to understand the disease takes the team from the NIH campus in Bethesda, to a war zone in the Kashmiri highlands, to a high-tech biodefense facility near Juneau, Alaska.
As the outbreak spreads around the globe and desperate governments impose increasingly severe measures to contain it, Marley begins to suspect that what is happening is not the apocalypse they fear — but something far more radical. Marley’s star patient, a brilliant but profoundly psychotic scientist named Roger Sturgeon, escapes from the facility into the city, and Marley attempts to bring him back before the government sends in troops. Only then does he learn the truth about what is happening.
Before it’s over they will all be forced to choose between the precarious comfort of the world they know and the mysterious wonder of a new reality — between their commonplace fears, ambitions, and loyalties, or the hope that lies in The Nirvana Plague.

I wasn't sure from the book's description online that I would enjoy this one, but once I started reading I found myself absolutely fascinated by the fast moving plot, the interesting characters, and the unusual nature of the "crisis."Set in a not very distant future, when the United States and much of the world is perpetually at war, when all the reports on the constant news feed are bad, and the cities are blacked out at night, the main characters struggle with their own despair and then find themselves caught up in a larger conflict. There are some interesting themes depicted in the book, including the question of whether mankind can be totally happy, and if so, what other characteristics of our human nature would we have to give up to reach that happiness?

The Nirvana Plague edition by Gary Glass Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I just finished this book and it was terrific! It had an interesting plot and great characters. I don't want
to spoil the plot for you but the concept of a spontaneous change of consciousness was brilliant. The main characters were
complex and likable. I can't wait to read more of this author's books !
This book was a bit tough to get into, BUT, once I did, it took me for a ride that never stopped. I really enjoyed the way it was in the future,but not so out there as to be unbelievable. The concept of a society that is without the "its all about me" factor was refreshing and well thought out. If only, came to mind at the end of the book and i look forward to part 2 hopefully soon.
This book has a really interesting central premise with a nice twist at the end - what happens if a widespread attitude (let's call it) spreads like a contagious virus throughout the population? It's quite hard to describe without giving away too much of the plot - it's like the classic post-apocalyptic zombie narrative, but with much less violence and zombies that are a lot more Zen than usual.
I also enjoyed the characterization (particularly of the two central female characters) which I felt like realistic - people are funny and flawed and human. The pace throughout is fast without being confusing, and I was entertained until the end, wanting to know what would happen next to the characters I was invested in.
Disclaimer I probably wouldn't have come across this book if I didn't know the author, but I definitely wouldn't have written this review if I hadn't truly enjoyed the book. For the price, you can't go wrong.
Full disclosure I am the author's sister-in-law. I had purchased this book a few months ago, but didn't get a chance to start it until a couple of weeks ago, but I was immediately hooked on the story. It is indeed fast-paced, but the story doesn't rush. You feel as if you are in the experience with the characters. It is set in the near future, and Gary inserts little technological advances here and there that remind you of the different world in which the story is set. I was reminded of some of Michael Crichton's work in reading this book, with the medical/technology slant. There is great attention to the details which make a story seem real and plausible.
I plowed through the book until the last couple of chapters, when I slowed my reading to make the book last longer! I really enjoyed it, and I recommend it highly.
Really enjoyed the story. Nice to read of a ‘plague’ that turned you into a better person. I loved the idea of those we called mentally ill being rid of the stresses making them ill, and showing the ‘normals’ the way.
First of all, I have to make the disclaimer that I am friends with the author. However, if I had not thoroughly enjoyed this book I would have NOT posted a review.
I was completely overwhelmed reading the book because, while I know my friend as a highly intelligent and thoughtful person, I had no idea he had the writing skills to create such a well-constructed, unique piece of work! Sure, I knew he wrote, but a good novel is an accomplishment. If I did not know Gary, I would absolutely purchase this and read it again. The characters are well developed and the plot moves along at a clip and kept me wondering where I was headed. Highly recommended.
this book is not that good, certainly not reaching the nirvana status. the first quarter of the book seemed to be going nowhere. finally the writer got into a groove and made the next half of the book more interesting. however, during the last quarter of the book, the reader is waiting for some miraculous breakthrough resolution that never happens. and i am not sure, but don't remember the term nirvana being used or referenced anywhere in the book. it is passable, but not a book to my liking.
