72 books703 followersA bio is a weird thing to write.
Just trying to imagine presenting the highlights of ME sets off alarm bells in my head. Why would anybody want to know anything about me? What about me is remarkable enough to tell?
When I think about these questions, I recall lying on my bed back in high school, headphones muffed over my ears, heavy metal blasting through my head. As with most teens, music’s power seduced me, and as I listened, I found myself admiring the albums' cover art (yeah, I’m old enough that I used to by LP’s) and I found myself reading about the singers and guitar players and drummers in the liner notes. Why? Because those musicians had created something that was deeply personal, passionate, and wonderfully emotional, and they’d shared it with the world. They’d shared it with me.
It made me want to know them through more than just their music. So, I read.
Through the years, I found myself reading about writers I’d enjoyed, historical figures I’d admired, politicians who weren’t dipshits, and business leaders who’d built great companies. Again, why? Who the hell knows? We’re all just people. I think we find each other interesting. We like to feel connected.
And that was my answer, at least as to the WHY.
On the WHAT I can say about me, for those who feel moved by my work: I’ll give it a quick go.
I was born an Air Force brat and lived in a dozen states before I graduated high school. I’ve worked my way through a wide variety of jobs, left most on a whim, owned businesses, lived through times when I had more money than I knew what to do with, and worried my way through times when I wondered how I’d pay the rent.
Life has been boring at times, and it’s been plenty exciting, too. So far.
I’ve traveled to India, stood atop the tallest mountains around, swam with sharks, smarted-off to cops, and been arrested. I’ve tried beer and weed, but never made a thing of either one. I’ve been brushed too close by death a few times. Thankfully, doctors, EMT’s, and nurses were kind enough to put all the pieces together again. I've ridden my bike so deep into the mountains it felt like I was alone on the edge of heaven, and I've watched the red sun sinking on an evening so clear it looked like it was falling off the edge of the world.
I’ve always had a hard time being where I am, wherever that is. My daydreams forever call from just over the horizon.
I’ve been asked by a dozen bosses where I see myself in five years, and I've lied every time, always telling them what they wanted to hear. Because the only thing I knew for sure, was that I wanted to be anywhere but there.

This is got a little too close to life imitating art. I'm a huge fan of Bobby Adair and he knocked these out of the park.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and it almost had the feel of your grandfather sitting you down as a kid to tell you about the war. There are things that seem to be outlandish to be true but you want to believe because you're so committed to the story.

Sometimes the story was too frighteningly realistic to be fiction. It kept me on edge seeing many parallels in civilizations' behaviors trying to cope with the manmade "Covid" crises . while this work is fiction, Covid and societal reaction, correct or not, is real. This work demonstrates that the world must become better prepared for the next event. There will be more.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Ebola K Trilogy by Bobby Adair and feel like it can be used as a script for the pandemic we are currently experiencing. It does seem like the government is making the same moves as depicted in the story.
The Ebola virus is one of the scariest killers, but since it was always confined to Africa, most people around the world weren't worried about it. Unfortunately, a viral strain had mutated and is now transmitted through the air. A terrorist thought up a scheme where he'd use jihadist volunteers to contract the disease spread the virus to the west and eventually across the world.
It all begins in a small village in Africa where a young American is teaching the children. He and his best friend are eventually stricken with the virus and a call is made to the Arabs' older brother. When he arrives with his group of Jihadists, the diabolical plan is set into motion. Everyone in the village is murdered and the buildings torched. Miraculously, left for dead, the teacher survives, but his life turns to misery as he tries to let others know about the terrorists' plan.
Various storylines take place throughout the book which follows the teacher, his sister, who works for the NSA, her friend, a CIA operative in Africa, his parents in Denver, the head Arab terrorist, and the government in general. Only a handful know of the terrorist and his overall plan - distributing the virus is only the start.
The story, although fiction, is plausible and could happen. In fact, we still have to see how this current pandemic turns out. I'm hoping it's nothing like the book. Ebola K is an engaging story and interesting to see how the world reacts. It's well worth the read.

While it is presented as a trilogy, it is actually just one book. You need to read all three of them together for a cohesive story. Super solid Jack Ryan type political/medical thriller. In the days of Covid, the topic hits close to home. An Ebola pandemic. The thing I loved about it is that most apocalyptic type stories jump into what happens after everything has already gone to hell, but this one details the process. Several compelling story lines intersect, and the story jumps around between the various main characters. The writing is direct, to the point and fast paced. The characters are all likable and intriguing. While it certainly stretches the realm of possibilities, I think it stays solidly in conceivable reality. Lots of good detailed info so you understand what is going on. I really enjoyed it! Nice job!!

Global viral threats
Great novel about what could happen and some of what had happened in the past to a lesser degree. Today,March 5, 2020, the world is dealing with the Corona virus across the globe. Could this be the start of an outbreak similar to that of this novel? Too soon to tell and the world is s bit more prepared than the world of this novel. But an airborne virus mutated from the corona virus might tell a different story. Perhaps global powers need to stop and ask "are we prepared to confront any airborne deadly viral threat "

Yikes, in The Midst Of Covid-19 This Trilogy Is Scarily Prescient
Bobby, think I read something else by you I didn't much like, but all is forgiven, because this is simply one of the best pandemic series yet written. Simultaneously low-key and yet wake you up in the middle of the night chilling it follows four members of a far flung family as the world goes to hell in a viral handbasket. Extremely well done and all too believable. Hats off to you Mr. Adair, guess I'll have to try a few of your other works.

Excellent series,well worth a read.
Being a fan of Post Apocalyptic fiction, I read this on a whim. I must say, I found it excellent, great characters and a story line with enough action to keep you interested but not set at a runaway pace. You get time to feel for the character and learn about them,which makes it a more "Human" storyline. I loved that Paul got his revenge and found his humanity and that Karma reached out to those intent on evil in the end. Will keep an eye out for any of your other titles.

Great read until the ending
Great read till the ending. The ending was not believable. Especially Paul, being held in a prison forcing the inmates in it to donate blood, then suddenly everything is acceptable in what he is doing, suddenly a happy ending. It was as if the author suddenly realized that she had enough pages to make a book and slapped a ending on it that was pure bull shit. The author clearly got lazy while writing the book.

Well written dystopian trilogy
I enjoy reading stories about people trying to survive apocalyptic situations. Most are either unbelievable or just poorly written. So it was a pleasant surprise to read the Ebola K Trilogy. The characters, the science, the situations were all believable, a hard to put down story. I have read other books by this author and I highly recommend his novels and especially this trilogy.

Very engaging and dramatic, will give you chills
Reading this brought back memories of going through the ebola scare when I lived in the Washington DC area. Combine it with the current coronavirus we are all experiencing, it brings home the strain and emotions of the story characters. Great background and development of the characters. This is a thrilling, chilling, captivating and nauseating story that leaves you hoping for the best of mankind to pull through.

Good But Left reader Dangling
The story was compelling. Learned somethings re epidemics, which is why I chose this book.
But as a writer it infuriates me when unfinished plot resolutions causes dangling!
Does it mean the writer has another book to add to the series which will cost a higher price? If so it is a cheap trick!
As a person on a fixed income there are multitudes of books I would read except they cost too much, disappointingly

A Pandemic world size
This is an oh so dark look at, not just Ebola striking the world, but also humanity’s reactions. The depths that greedy men will go to for power and wealth. There is the feel of honest reporting that will chill the blood. And there’s a touch of vengeance too. For the most part a nightmare of global size.

Once again Bobby has brought to life just how delicate our world is! In this series he’ll make the reader realize just how fragile our world is and with all the crazies out there just how easy it would be to destroy life as we know it! It’s also a perfect read since we’re currently experiencing the Corona Virus in real life!!

Freaking projections, read it during Covid-19 Pandemic!
Very plausable. Authors research and depictions cast similarities to the current 2020 pandemic. His use of human nature to act the idiot boldly mirrors many reactions and lack of common sense today. The book is gripping, excellent character development. Definitely a good read.

A taut, credible story.
I couldn’t put it down. Great characters and a complex plot. We’re all aware of ebola and of terrorism. We’ve all experienced the covid pandemic and the restrictions that were imposed. This made the possibility of weaponised ebola in the hands of terrorists seem very plausible. Another great book by this author.

It could happen
As I read this trilogy, Covid 19 is all in the news. Many things in the story seem to parallel what we're being directed to do to avoid catching Covid 19. I love all the series by Bobby Akart and recommend them to all fans of apocalyptic fiction.

Good read overall
I gave this book five stars. It was comprehensive with the only complaint being the amount of reading time between story lines. I found myself back tracking to remind me of who was who , and what was what. Other than that I enjoyed the book immensely.

Disappointing
Started out very well...Was looking forward to reading entire series, but THEN went off in too many directions and unbelievable actions. Mirrored somewhat the pandemic we are experiencing now ...

Ebola K - very prophetic and thought provoking
Incredible book, very interesting to experience in today’s climate. Hard to put it down when you get so wrapped up in the characters and the story.

Perfect!
There was nothing in this trilogy that I didn't love. The characters, the pacing, descriptions of various settings, everything was terrific! I am just sorry it's over. Excellent story-telling is so rare these days. I'm glad I found this one.
