Reddit reviews Biohazard: The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in the World--Told from Inside by the Man Who Ran It

this band

this book

this movie

this game

in general generic words are usualy bad things to call a franchise since they are hard to pin down culturaly, try to google "echo" and guess what work im talking about. "Alien" was more the exception than the rule.

And here's another book that discusses the potentially weaponized Russian smallpox strains in a lot more detail: http://www.amazon.com/Biohazard-Chilling-Largest-Biological-World-Told/dp/0385334966

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0385334966?pc_redir=1411972918&robot_redir=1 I've been wanting to read this, it seem interesting

I had the same New Year's resolution a few years ago and ended up reading 65 books that year. I ran out of books I wanted to read and scrambled to find more. So you'll have weeks you'll read anything you can get your hands on which can be hit or miss, but I liked being taken out of my normal, nonfiction, reading patterns.

Here are a few If my favorites:

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston

Demon In The Freezer by Richard Preston

The Snakehead by Patrick Keefe

John Dies At The End by David Wong

Into Thin Air by John Krakauer

Death's Acre by Dr. Bill Bass

Biohazard by Ken Alibek

You should totally read this book. Or maybe The Hot Zone or Demon in the Freezer. All are very entertaining and terrifying reads.

These sorts of weapons are scary because in some cases their use is probably strategically preferable because they can destroy populations without destroying infrastructure, which is useful if you want to invade somewhere. Also, they can get out of hand and spread on their own once deployed, unlike a bullet.

I'm in no way an expert; just speculating.

I recommend Biohazard. On the edge of my seat most of the time. Author defected to US and wrote the book. I had hoped you had read it. I wanted to hear your take on it.

Ever listen to Art Bell, the radio host?

GMU Huh. Chain Bridge road. 123. Favorite DC monument. Mine is the einstein bronze sculpture and the Awakening.

The Ken Alibek book was also a great read.

> The Soviets also spent a considerable amount of effort to weaponize smallpox in a variety of different ways

Biohazard by Ken Alibek is a terrifying read about their work on this. Very much worth reading if you would like to know what the Soviets were up to in the 70s-80s with bioweapons.

you should also read BIOHAZARD by Ken Abilek. he ran Biopreparat in the old Soviet Union. he defected after the breakup. it gives first hand accounts of the Soviet bioweapons program, and is scary as hell.
