If you are still scared to death after being introduced in last week's radio episode to the calamity of a bio-weapons attack as chronicled by our guest, author and physician, Peter Clement, this week you'll find out how he created his characters for his ambitious novel, The Darkness Drops. There actually is a chief advisor for bio-terror prevention who, with a team of specialists, hypothesize possible attacks and formulate appropriate responses for homeland security. Members of this team also leap into hot zones to deal with outbreaks from natural causes, and a good number of them are former ER doctors. We'll also discuss his writing process and the real life instances that provided many of the seminal events that inspired Peter to write The Darkness Drops. Could the events portrayed in The Darkness Drops come true? Dr. Clement shares scary secrets! Also in this episode, Heather Brittany will discuss diabetes and Cynthia Brian will encourage you to take action and stop talking.
