<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the WVZ book Club. This is Jordan Rich.

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Max Brooks, best selling author of World war Z, wrote

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 1>another novel of science fiction and horror about fifteen years

4
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>later called Devolution. Mount Rainier has erupted in a volcano,

5
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>killing a lot of people. But the volcano, along with

6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>unleashing deadly lava, also gives rise to an army of Sasquatches,

7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>often referred to as Bigfoot. Not one, but many. And

8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in this novel, like World war Z, the author uses

9
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 1>a fast paced, exciting story to bring light to many

10
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 1>human issues that have led to disaster. There might have

11
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>been a better warning for the volcano had the US

12
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>government not slashed the US Geological Survey, an understandable take

13
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 1>when you look at, say, the monstrous fires in California

14
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>this month. The book has a lot of action and

15
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of gore, but it raises some interesting philosophical

16
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 1>topics and Max Brooks knows how to tell a good story.
