Her last book about nuclear war was better, IMO. While I think she takes shortcuts in this one, is still based in real scenarios that happened during Covid, so totally possible.
If you like books in this genre, I loved "The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States". That's the best of these three.
I too just finished Biological War. Agreed, not as good as Nuclear, felt half finished comparatively. And good recommendation on 2020 Commission, that is so good. Never checked to see if the author wrote another but will need to now
Is that the one with the scenario of nuclear war and timeline of what would happen and when? I think I did that audiobook and it's pretty fucking eye opening.
Cobra Event wasn’t that good - not as good as Hot Zone. Cobra Event was a bit silly “people eating their own faces off !”, but it had some interesting background information about how the research works.
I found it almost as intense as "History of a Drowning Boy" by the actual Dennis Nielsen. I read the first chapter of Nuclear War: a Scenario and had to go and sit in a dark room in silence for a good 20 minutes. Fucked me up.
I agree with this take. It was very plausible, but truncated. Like she just had enough one day and decided to end it where she was. Also, the focus was so much more narrow than the first, with next to no information outside of a couple of American cities. This was a book that could have been much longer.
