Everything else, Andy Weir has written has simply blown my socks off. This one was just “good”. It’s entertaining, provocative, and has a lot of the same science driven plot that Andy Weir’s other books have had, but it just leaves me wanting more. Dialogue is not his forte. Grand sweeping arcs of plot lines are. Jaw-dropping resilience in his characters, and really cool science characterize his best writing. This book seemed like more of an attempt at a mystery novel.

Third Squad is a created by a veteran, and experienced/talented journalist telling very important stories about war the way they should be told. Elliott Woods is a very skilled and insightful interviewer who connects with his subjects and feels his way through a story. This podcast is the kind you can't stop once you start until you have listened all the way through. It LETS you feel uncomfortable because the experiences of the subjects were so hard. It's what you get when a capable and engaged storyteller finds the right stories from veterans with a raw and unvarnished recall of their experiences.

No as a scientist myself, I find some of the scientific aspects a little water down, I understand this. The message overall from this book is something that we cannot ignore. Pandemics always have been, and always will be a part of our history. A lack of political leadership and transparency can cost thousands of lives. Similarly, pandemics have no respect for international borders or politics, and scientists must be allowed to work together to anticipate, prepare for, and prevent the worst.

This book is really a compilation of multiple stories, Editorial's, interviews, and other essays written by Tyson. His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the topic is infectious. It is inspiring, and thought-provoking.

The narration itself is robotic, and marred by frequent mispronunciations of mostly technical names. Xenon, Anton Von Leowenhoek, tertiary, Saturn V (pronounced by the narrator as 'Vee' instead of five) and so on, are just an example of some of the numerous mispronunciations you have to get past to truly enjoy this book.
