    In the late fall of 2013, a lethal pandemic virus emerges from the Islamic Republic of Indonesia (IRI) and rages unchecked across every continent. When the Jakarta Flu threatens his picture-perfect Maine neighborhood, Alex Fletcher, Iraq War veteran, is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his family safe. As a seasoned sales representative for Biosphere Pharmaceuticals, makers of a leading flu virus treatment, Alex understands what a deadly pandemic means for all of them.

    Where does The Jakarta Pandemic rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I enjoyed this book. Must read for the prepper.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Yes- Because the main character is so "mASSachusetts".

    On the holiday of Wintertide, the New Empire plans to burn the Witch of Melengar and force the Empress into a marriage of their own design. But they didn’t account for Royce and Hadrian finally locating the Heir of Novron—or the pair’s desire to wreak havoc on the New Empire’s carefully crafted scheme.

    The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization. But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known....

    If you could sum up Lucifer's Hammer in three words, what would they be?

    TEOTWAWKI from California


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Lucifer's Hammer?

    Science saves the day near the end- More would be a spoiler.

    It’s the near future, and thanks to a perfect storm of reckless banking practices, hyperinflation, a stock market gone mad, and the negligence of our elected officials, the entire social, political, and economic infrastructure of America has collapsed. Chaos reigns in the streets, medical treatment is no longer available, and a silent coup has placed a dangerous group of men at the helm of a false government. America’s fate is in the hands of those few individuals who have the survival skills, the faith, and the forethought to return this country to the state its founding fathers intended.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    First let me say the other Rawles books are very good. This one was BAD. You would have to be a born again Christian to really enjoy this one.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Lucifer's Hammer then Jakarta Pandemic


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    I know Rawles is better than this and he will write another one. When he does, I hope he leaves the religion to a minimum. I realize there probably is an advantage in a survival situation if you are tied into a religoius group, but not all survivors would be religious. At least I hope.

    Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

    We live in a world of great and increasing complexity, where even the most expert professionals struggle to master the tasks they face. Longer training, ever more advanced technologies - neither seems to prevent grievous errors. But in a hopeful turn, acclaimed surgeon and writer Atul Gawande finds a remedy in the humblest and simplest of techniques: the checklist.
