A Review From Science by
Felix Lukezic, Professor of Plant Pathology, Pennsylvania State
University.
Biological Control Solutions to
Terror by Jonathan Gressel, Plant Sciences, Weizmann
Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, for the Intenational
Bioherbicide Group IGB News. (NEW REVIEW)
“A real page-turner. An excellent plot interweaving thrills
and romance in the ever complicated war on drugs... but with
a new Biotech twist.”
—Don DiMarco,
Pittsburgh, PA
"Walton Cook poses an interesting question in his novel
Buzzword. Where would Colombia's drug traffickers and narco
rebels be today if naturally occurring mycoherbicides were applied
to their cultivations? Probably not on their way to launder
hundreds of millions of dollars a year. While Colombia's rainforests
wither under the onslaught of precursor chemicals used to process
coca crops and eradication efforts involve the repeated indiscriminate
use of garden herbicides, a potentially more effective, long-term
solution has yet to be fully explored. Is this reticence justified
by science, or would the answer gore someone's ox? More likely
the latter."
—Stephen Johnson,
Policy Analyst, The Heritage Foundation
“BUZZWORD is intelligent and bold, an astonishing final
solution to the trafficking and use of plant derived narcotics.”
“Highly innovative!”
“A compelling read with all that’s needed to turn
fiction into real world fact!”
“It’s a book history will remember.”
“I couldn’t put it down.”
“A brilliant defense of a biological solution to the ageless
problem of drugs and a spellbinding trip into the inner workings
of organized crime.”
“Great characters!”
“A real bio-thriller; biotechnology at its best!”
“I thought the ‘War on Drugs’ couldn’t
be won. I was wrong!”
