Biological War

Read this book. It is a better briefing on the problem than the one we received in Downing Street six years ago.

James Phillips, Spectator

A persuasive and unnerving argument.

New Yorker

A scrupulously realistic book about the inconceivable…This is important work...Biological War is an indictment of the weapons programs that created our discomfiting reality, and of a leadership that has allowed it to continue.

New Yorker

This book moves like a meteor… Biological War is a heavily researched book about contagious and potentially civilization-ending pathogens…That so many were willing to talk to her, and have their names affixed to this book, indicates the esteem in which she is held.

New York Times

Biological War: A Scenario will scare your pants off, but in a deliciously readable fashion.

Boston Globe

It's gripping and very, very scary how this scenario plays out.

Transfer Orbit

Graphic and sobering . . . Jacobsen is back with another scenario that promises to be even more ghastly and perversely thrilling than [Nuclear War: A Scenario].

Killian Fox, Observer

Horrifying . . . a good read

Jacob Aron, New Scientist

A terrifying account of what lurks on the nightmarish fringes of reality, written with the pace of a Hollywood thriller.

Press Association

Energetic, detailed and disturbing . . . an engrossing, plausible book

The Economist

Very effective . . . you might argue that her books on nuclear and biological warfare establish a new genre we might call New Fear Unlocked . . . all too credible . . . the author's timing is impeccable.

Sunday Times, Book of the Week

A compelling and deeply unsettling examination of how biological warfare could shape the next global catastrophe . . . Biological War is difficult to put down, but it is even harder to stop thinking about once finished.

Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, Literary Review

Intriguing . . . Jacobsen is a first rate researcher
