Speaker 1: Welcome to the WVZ book Club. This is Jordan Rich.
Speaker 1: Max Brooks, best selling author of World war Z, wrote
Speaker 1: another novel of science fiction and horror about fifteen years
Speaker 1: later called Devolution. Mount Rainier has erupted in a volcano,
Speaker 1: killing a lot of people. But the volcano, along with
Speaker 1: unleashing deadly lava, also gives rise to an army of Sasquatches,
Speaker 1: often referred to as Bigfoot. Not one, but many. And
Speaker 1: in this novel, like World war Z, the author uses
Speaker 1: a fast paced, exciting story to bring light to many
Speaker 1: human issues that have led to disaster. There might have
Speaker 1: been a better warning for the volcano had the US
Speaker 1: government not slashed the US Geological Survey, an understandable take
Speaker 1: when you look at, say, the monstrous fires in California
Speaker 1: this month. The book has a lot of action and
Speaker 1: a lot of gore, but it raises some interesting philosophical
Speaker 1: topics and Max Brooks knows how to tell a good story.
Speaker 1: Devolution by Max Brooks, Yes, the son of Melbrooks, And
