Read a sample Read a sample

A shocking exposé of the reckless proliferation of bioweapon research and development facilities across the U.S.—and the threat this poses to everyday Americans   Battling a new generation of corporate giants and uncovering threats right in our own backyard, Kenneth King's Germs Gone Wild reveals the massive expansion of America's biodefense research labs and the culture of deception surrounding hundreds of facilities that have opened since 9/11.   And yet the greed that drove the development of these labs has effectively counteracted any cautionary checks by the government and universities. All have been seduced by the economic gains and corporate stipends that come with compliance and turning a blind eye. King examines the controversies surrounding plants from Maryland to Boston and Utah, to the Department of Homeland Security's dubious National Bio-and-Agro-Facility (NBAF) project, and the precautions—or lack thereof—being taken to protect us all from a deadly pandemic.
