VERITAS The Pharmacological Endgame The End of the Obesity Epidemic Alessandro Boccaletti Books

VERITAS is a captivating book especially if, like me, you are the sort of person who will tend to look up a lot of things while reading if unsure as to the reality of certain things; it was clear from the very beginning that this would be an informative book as well as being a “mere” novel.

It’s quite a long book, and a very large portion of this is represented by reproduced (and modified) Wikipedia articles and data sheets from universities, giving facts and figures — often, pages at a time of them — for any plot element that can be sourced in that fashion.

For those that like this sort of information, you will love this book. For those that don’t, you will probably find yourself skipping those sections, and I don’t think your reading experience will be any the less for it, if you simply want to enjoy the story without knowing the precise data about the insulin function of a cone snail, for instance.

There are some aspects that cannot be researched and sourced in this fashion, and in those areas the storytelling consequently falls a little flat. I have never worked with US Navy SEALs, for instance, but I would hope they would do better than they do in this book if tasked with the very simple assignment of killing three unprotected researchers. The assassination they do manage was only by luck, since they throw their (alive, uninjured) mark off a bridge into the water and hope for the best.

The only other place I would give criticism, and the reason the book really needs to drop a star from what could have been five stars, is the dialogue; everyone except the Russians speaks with the same stilted formal tone no matter what the circumstance, as though speaking in office emails. Fortunately, the book is not very dialogue-heavy.

Other paradoxes are probably more in keeping with the author’s biases, I would suspect. The impressive prevalence of devout Christianity amongst world-leading scientists is perhaps not very representative of reality, for a book that represents a lot of other scientific stuff very accurately, for instance. I, for one, could have coped without half a chapter dedicated to the Ten Commandments.

Similarly, despite starring scientists as the heroes, the bias presented overall is strongly anti-pharma, anti-vax, and anti-GMO, notwithstanding that our main hero uses a GMO to create a vaccine to solve the world’s obesity problems, all the while proclaiming the importance of diet, exercise, and so forth.

In short, a book of paradoxes, but certainly an engaging and largely informative read.

VERITAS The Pharmacological Endgame The End of the Obesity Epidemic Alessandro Boccaletti Books Reviews

I hate to say that I believe a theory like this is plausible, but in reality, I honestly think it is true. Obesity is an epidemic, and this books sheds light on how this epidemic is a financial jargonaut in this world. At first, I thought this book would be better written for something like cancer, however, I now understand why Obesity was the chosen condition.

As you know, Obesity requires making choices and maintaining control in our lifestyle. Cancer is uncontrollable, no matter what lifestyle you live (healthy or not). Finding the cure for Obesity would costs thousands of dollars to those companies who make money off health related initiatives. Now, one could argue that healthy alternatives would still be around, but it would make the worry of getting fat more obsolete. Why do it the hard way when all one has to do is take the cure for it?

I definitely get the vibe that this book is more anti-Vax / anti-medicine (to each their own). While I do not personally believe that way, the author does a fine job of sharing their views without making me feel like mine is totally worthless.

All in all, this book is gripping and kept my excitement the whole time. The lengths people go through to silence lead character, Dr. Alex Bauman is quite scary, but also eerily real. I loved that this book depicted a true reality,; one that the government would go to any length to protect a lucrative industry over the wellbeing of humanity.
“VERITAS The Pharmacological Endgame” is the first book of a trilogy written by Alessandro Boccaletti, centered on the scientific researcher Dr. Alex Bauman. The piece “About the Author” shows that Mr. Boccaletti is well geared to write this book as an advisor pharma companies about innovative projects and product developments; and his range of expertise from finance and economics to medical management, and healthy lifestyle. He is a well-travelled professional diving instructor, h and loves the sea.
It would be great to think that the science story actually happened. The author does not say so. But I gather him to be saying that the solutions to the great problem of obesity could come from observing how Nature in its many forms adapts to changes in light, heat and cold; but Man seems intent on destroying not only his own species but also Nature.
Dr. Alex Bauman is a senior scientist, a medical researcher at the Queen’s Strategic Lab in Brisbane, Australia. He is also very obese but does not allow that to obstruct his ardent love for the life forms of sea and for diving. He is told by a guide about a strange coral that emerges from the water when the tide goes out in a polluted part (hotel wash) of the sea. The coral is not endemic to Brisbane seas, but more so to the Caribbean. His interest is piqued. He deduces that in order to survive, “the finger coral had to build defenses from pollution and the seasonal hot water temperatures. This coral had evolved and built the capacity to autoregulate fat in its cells with a specific incredible new enzyme. Nature was at work in its own survival game”
With the help of his two fellow researchers, he isolates the enzyme and develops a vaccine. Conscious of the extent of obesity in the world at large, the composition of their Scientific Board; and the shenanigans of pharma companies, junk food providers, GMO companies, politicians, and investors etc. in encouraging and making money out of the epidemic and its related diseases, he tests the enzyme on himself. Among other things, his body works to establish equilibrium between changes in cold and heat, and in 10 days’ time he loses 125 lbs. and is full of energy!
Then all hell breaks loose! They are fired from the Lab on grounds of breaching University Ethics and Rules. The Head of the Scientific Board in cahoots with the private companies on the Board send out find-follow-and-destroy messages to mercenaries, including the CIA. The presumptive POTUS is also involved having committed his campaign with promises to business interests. Fortunately Bauman has his work with him in text and on USB drives. This is the James Bond part of the story – Bauman’s two colleagues are killed; he is chased from Brisbane to Dubai to Dominican Republic to Hungary and Croatia, to Russia and back to Dubai. He escapes a few attempts at death, and his chasers and their bosses are frustrated at lack of success either in killing him or finding information, thanks to the Russians and to the Qatari.
Apart from Bauman having strong academic/personal friendships, both the Qatari and the Russians have strong interest in the development of a vaccine. Together, they work together to protect Bauman and his work, until they approve a protocol where the vaccine would be available to the rest of the world at $1 per shot. The pharma companies. GMOs, and investment companies are thrown into utter collapse; the now President loses his investments, and is eventually impeached.
All of this moves the world away from war, and ushers the world into “a new world order” led by the United Nations, in which countries work together in peace and prosperity.
And Alec Bauman; President Sakharov and President White (USA) receive joint Nobel Peace Prizes.
This book is wonderful on a number of counts. A large number of technical and scientific issues are involved. If I was a University student with a related interest, I would put the details and synopses to good use for remembering and for further research. And the book impresses deep in the psyche man’s inhumanity to man; money-greed enslaving by targeting and addicting you may be startled by the information on polonium-210 in tobacco. Think of Sugar, and the way of the vultures described in this book. But while these notes are strength to the book; it is also a weakness. The problem with the details is just that - too much detailing of issues, and quite some repetition, making the book unnecessarily heavy reading, and long.
The book is also one of hope. Following the availability of the vaccine brings about a ‘New World Order’ which saves the world from the brink of destruction. I personally am skeptical of the changes, especially made under the leadership of the much-maligned United Nations. With the real mess the world is in, I tend to go with the opposite view “The answer is that there is a need to destroy everything to start again from zero. Destruction is the best driver for a new future.” Remember that the UN is not sovereign over its members, making this sound like magic. The lesson seems intended to have us reflect on the tremendous economic and other opportunism that would arise if the world got together.
See if you can figure out ZEUS.
VERITAS is a captivating book especially if, like me, you are the sort of person who will tend to look up a lot of things while reading if unsure as to the reality of certain things; it was clear from the very beginning that this would be an informative book as well as being a “mere” novel.

It’s quite a long book, and a very large portion of this is represented by reproduced (and modified) Wikipedia articles and data sheets from universities, giving facts and figures — often, pages at a time of them — for any plot element that can be sourced in that fashion.

For those that like this sort of information, you will love this book. For those that don’t, you will probably find yourself skipping those sections, and I don’t think your reading experience will be any the less for it, if you simply want to enjoy the story without knowing the precise data about the insulin function of a cone snail, for instance.

There are some aspects that cannot be researched and sourced in this fashion, and in those areas the storytelling consequently falls a little flat. I have never worked with US Navy SEALs, for instance, but I would hope they would do better than they do in this book if tasked with the very simple assignment of killing three unprotected researchers. The assassination they do manage was only by luck, since they throw their (alive, uninjured) mark off a bridge into the water and hope for the best.

The only other place I would give criticism, and the reason the book really needs to drop a star from what could have been five stars, is the dialogue; everyone except the Russians speaks with the same stilted formal tone no matter what the circumstance, as though speaking in office emails. Fortunately, the book is not very dialogue-heavy.

Other paradoxes are probably more in keeping with the author’s biases, I would suspect. The impressive prevalence of devout Christianity amongst world-leading scientists is perhaps not very representative of reality, for a book that represents a lot of other scientific stuff very accurately, for instance. I, for one, could have coped without half a chapter dedicated to the Ten Commandments.

Similarly, despite starring scientists as the heroes, the bias presented overall is strongly anti-pharma, anti-vax, and anti-GMO, notwithstanding that our main hero uses a GMO to create a vaccine to solve the world’s obesity problems, all the while proclaiming the importance of diet, exercise, and so forth.

In short, a book of paradoxes, but certainly an engaging and largely informative read.
