Meet Ketan Desai, author of Germs of War

BBB: Tell us about yourself.
​

KD: I am a physician, entrepreneur who has started three biotechnology and cosmetic companies, and a writer.  I write for medium.org, seekingalpha.com and talkmarkets.com

BBB: What inspired your book, Germs of War?

KD:
I was concerned that the US was not taking the dangers of Afghanistan seriously.  It was 1998 and no one seemed to understand what we were about to face.  I wrote the book to highlight the dangers, but no one cared, so I self-published the book.  Then 9/11 happened.

BBB: Tell us about your main character.

KD: The protagonist is a female graduate student at the Mayo Clinic.  She is torn between a career in biology and her father who would rather she use her brains in Intelligence.  Fate seals the deal for her.

BBB: What do you think readers will find most appealing about your book?

KD:
 The book pretty much predicted 9/11, though no planes were involved.  There is explanation of what drives terrorists to do what they do, and the dangers of being complacent


BBB: What are you currently working on?

KD: Dangers of gene manipulation in humans.  The book is based in China, with the Communist Party’s drive to create a super human race.  But, as the poet Burns said, the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft a’gley (often go wrong).

​Germs of War is available on Amazon.
