Historia
Smallpox, the only infectious disease to have been eradicated, was one of the most terrifying of human scourges. It covered the skin with hideous, painful boils, killed a third of its victims, and left the survivors disfigured for life. In this riveting, often terrifying look at the history of smallpox, Jonathan B. Tucker tells the story of this deadly disease, the heroic efforts to eradicate it worldwide, and the looming dangers it still poses today.

Well done. The performance never slowly died despite being a little involved with the p’s and q’s of the disease and their treatments. Being a layman and having already

Outstanding!
Revisado: 08-08-21
What a great story. Like others I was left wondering how Brian would fare had he not been rescued and had to survive the bitter, cold of a far north winter. This story answered all of the questions that were in my mind, and more. I learned a lot about survival in circumstances that at first glance seem impossible to conquer. One word describes this book simply “Outstanding”

Historia
The first major bioterror event in the United States - the anthrax attacks in October 2001 - was a clarion call for scientists who work with "hot" agents to find ways of protecting civilian populations against biological weapons. In The Demon in the Freezer, his first nonfiction book since The Hot Zone, a number-one New York Times best seller, Richard Preston takes us into the heart of USAMRIID, the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

I learned a lot about smallpox and how horrific it would be if this monster got loose in the world. I must admit, I had only a passing knowledge of this particular virus. I am a boomer and was vaccinated against smallpox as a child and learning that it would not necessarily protect me anymore was a true eye-opener! I expect a few sleepless nights.

Historia
In the not too distant past, along the Mississippi River, North America tried to tear itself in half. It failed. It won’t the second time. The New Madrid fault zone, six times larger than the San Andreas in California, has generated a series of massive earthquakes thrusting the Atwood and Chandler families in a fight to survive. Will they arrive for Christmas? Will they arrive at all? Their lives are about to change forever. Prepare to be shaken.

This disaster will occur again. Understanding that is the beginning of wisdom!
Revisado: 07-29-21
While I have given 5 star reviews to other Bobby Akart books, this is the first in depth review I have offered. I am an original Chicagoan who transplanted to Ky and resided there for over 25 years. During that time, I was present for many, many “tremblers” as they were referred to by my friends and neighbors. IMHO They were far more than that. We lived in Western Ky, about 50 miles east of the Mississippi and Paducah.
Unfortunately, many of us think that the “Big” one will never happen to us and remain woefully unprepared for it.
Bobby’s story was as true an account as one would need to begin to understand that there are no men in white hats riding in to save us from ourselves.
While I have moved back to Chicago, everyone knows, if New Madrid goes; all hell is going to break loose. This book can help you prepare without overly preaching AT you about the subject.
As to the story, I think the characters were all well developed and found myself liking and rooting for them.
I read a couple of reviews complaining about the narrator, ignore them! She did an awesome job, despite having so many different characters to voice.
There is heartache to be sure, but in a disaster of this magnitude that is expected and would seem ingenuous if it was completely lacking.
As previously mentioned, this is my first full review of a Bobby Akart book however, it will not be my last!
I am moving on now to the Yellowstone series with great expectations.
Keep up your great work!

Historia
The longtime Republican strategist and number one New York Times best-selling author of Everything Trump Touches Dies is back with a guidebook for beating Trump’s tricks, traps, and Twitter feed in 2020. Donald Trump is exactly the disaster we feared for America. Hated by a majority of Americans, Trump’s administration is rocked by daily scandals, and he’s embarrassed us at home and abroad. Trump can’t win in 2020, right? Wrong. As 2016 proved, Trump can’t win, but the Democrats can sure as hell lose.
