Pan-resistant superbugs, world travel, a love story and the use of a virus to treat a life-threatening infection--and its all absolutely true. The makings of a great book.

On this week's program, I am joined by the authors of The Perfect Predator: A Scientist's Race to Save Her Husband from a Deadly Superbug: A Memoir, Steffanie Strathdee and Tom Patterson.

During the segment we look at the timeline, the research, the players and the wonderful outcome.
