PANDEMIC
Dr. Mackenzie Hagan is a well-respected epidemiologist at the CDC-Atlanta and the daughter of a retired Commanding General at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. Mac often says infectious disease is in her blood. She has arrived in the jungles of Guatemala to investigate an outbreak. While no infectious disease outbreak is routine, this particular hot zone in Guatemala has its own set of complications.
Nathan Hunter is a covert operative within an off-the-books project for the Department of Defense. He tracks down terrorists before they strike. While tracking the activities of a jihadist cell, Hunter unravels a villainous plot with tentacles spanning the globe. His investigative path crosses with Mac's and the two become a team to fight the silent enemies deployed by the terrorists.
They soon learn that the biggest challenge they'll face is right at home - a government bureaucracy unwilling to sound the alarm to protect the nation.
The events depicted in The Pandemic Series are fictional. They are, however, based upon historical fact.
The Pandemic series from author Bobby Akart formed the basis for an entire semester's course study at Midwestern University.

Bobby Akart has brought us another terrific and and terrifying series about a post-apocalyptic dystopian future, this time the cause of the end of the world as we know it is a pandemic. The story is ripped from tomorrow's headlines describing an all too real, all too possible, all too terrifying warning of what COULD happen, all too easily. With a warning comes preparation, but how do you prepare for a killer who doesn't care who you are, what you do or what you believe? A killer who only needs a warm body. A killer that can find you from any surface you touch, or from the very air you breathe? A nearby cough or sneeze, or pressing the down button on the elevator, or grasping a door handle can bring the killer into your life, then you can bring it to everyone you love, everyone you know.
The characters in this story are brought to you in rich detail. Not just actors in a play, but friends you know, living just down the street a bit. These are people you can love or hate, you can cheer their wins or boo their play. In the pages of this story you will find a chuckle or a belly laugh, you will shed tears of joy and tears of sorrow. You will be thrilled, terrified and disgusted. One thing you won't be is bored!
The idea that a handshake or a kiss could kill you is very frightening or the fact that a person setting behind you at a movie theater or next to you on an airplane can cough or sneeze and end your life the same as a bullet or a bomb, is a fact that we must face in these times.
No question that evil people are at this very moment working on a disease that can not only inflict severe pain and suffering on the populous as a whole, but could wipe out millions or billions is not without facts in history. The Black Plague wiped out millions of people in a time in history when people traveled just a few miles from where they were born. Some believe half the population died from the Plague. Imagine what today could be like. Travel from Paris to New York in a few hours. Take a trip to Rio and return to Atlanta. Will you bring a pandemic so vicious and untreatable, that every person you contact will die.
Bobby Akart never fails to open my eyes to the possibility of what can happen without warning. But he also offers a way to survive these disasters. Prepare, prepare and prepare, but more importantly learn. Learn how to survive, how to prep for the unexpected.
I can truly recommend all of Mr. Akart's books to friends, family and to anyone who wants to live another day.
Top reviews from other countries

I find the humour slightly off, characters will start laughing hysterically at things that would make most people cry. The two main characters are a little sickly sweet hollywood heroes’ (its a love story) rich, good looking etc.
On the up side its very well researched and the technical side is spot on. Gives a good understanding how germs spread and what you should do if the worst ever happens.

I love the main characters and the depth of research Bobby has clearly put into this book. Looking forward to the rest of the series....scary and compelling read!
