The year is 1835, only twenty years after the war of 1812. The methods of war and medicine are crude compared to the standards of today.
The United States is a new and struggling country, ill-prepared for a virulent outbreak that aggressively sweeps through the young nation, ravaging all in its path. Inadvertently created by a brilliant doctor at the edge of the western frontier, while researching Native Indian tribe medicines in an effort to save the lives of his family. Across a barely tamed America, where steamships and horseback are the fastest ways to travel, divergent people and bands of defenders come together to combat an enigma beyond their understanding. striving to outrun an enemy sweeping through the countryside, they must create new methods to find something, anything to stop the madness.
How will our heroes be able to put aside differences, adapt and rise to the occasion?
Can this young and struggling nation face down this macabre new threat?
Will groundbreaking technologies turn the tide and contain the horror of these dead-like enemies?

The Secret War of 1834 by B.B. LeClere is about what would happen if some type of virus was causing trouble back in the fall of 1834 to the spring of 1834. Along with how the military would have done to get rid of it before the virus caused too much of a panic.

Can they stop the spread of this virus?

Likes

• The two tidbits of information about the way of medicine and the military were like back in the day at the fr0nt of the book.
• Seeing how life was back then in the early 1800s.
• The medicine man, Howakan, and the doctor, Dr. Deggory Periwinkle, being great friends
• How this virus brought together the Native Americans and the White People together to fight against one thing.

Dislikes

• The way that the virus was infecting the other people who it came into contact with.
• What the virus does in the host body that it’s in before leaving it when that body dies.
• In a way that its similar to what we are going through right now minus the whole turning into people who like to eat raw flesh and meat, along with just acting like animals.
• The way that the book was hastily edited took me out of the story at times when I came across it in the book.
• That Dr. Periwinkle, a friend of Howakan, didn’t realize this virus came from his experiments on rodents until later than I thought it should have.
• The ending wasn’t clear enough for me as it didn’t, I think, end things in a great way.
• These are questions that are still flowing through my mind: Whatever happened to Mato Hato? What happened to Detroit and Chicago while the soldiers were gone? How far away did this virus go, and how many towns did it take over?

3 Stars

The Secret War of 1834 by B.B. LeClere is a story that happens under terrible circumstances getting away and creating something horrible for our population back then. Mr. LeClere did some considerable research, and I liked the little tidbits at the beginning. I am sadly giving the rating of 3 stars and only recommend this novel to people that like this sort of book, historical fiction, and zombies.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Secret War of 1834 by B.B. LeClere.

Until the next time,
