Status: RO A BLANDX BOOK REVIEW By Jack Bradbury A hurricane flattens Jamaica. Tornados rip apart south- central Texas. Army generals take over the government in Haiti. My mother-in-law moves in with us. At least 1000 potential disasters threaten us every day, and, unfortunately, many do happen. Now a new book by Tom Mills will help you prepare for trouble before it happens. Titled "1001 Ways to Profit from Emergencies through Survival Radio Monitoring", the author provides everything the reader would need to make a big score during a disaster. From "Relaying Traffic for Fun and Profit" to "Smuggling When the Earthquake Destroys Border Checkpoints", this book has everything. Frequency lists for all US government agencies, all foreign government disaster agencies, and all known slave merchants are included in this one volume masterpiece. Survivalist Julio Barco says this book is "a must for any rugged, dumb individualist that enjoys army fatigues even though he has been out of the service for 25 years or more." Reknown smuggle Les Spicer says, "It's the smugglers' bible. The one book to have. Nobody in the business would leave home without it." Author Tom Mills has been monitoring the radio spectrum on a profitable basis for over twenty years. He has written extensively on radio monitoring in "Soldier of Fortune" magazine, "Survival Communications Handbook," "Radio and Disaster Weekly," and "Digest of Killer Storms." He holds an advanced disaster communications license. The IRS claims, "nobody can make money from natural disasters better than Tom Mills." Praise from an expert is praise, indeed! "1001 Ways to Profit from Emergencies through Survival Radio Monitoring" is over 103 pages, printed on easy-to-burn-or-digest paper (just in case it's illegal to own this in your state or country), and is priced at $102.95 (under $1 a page!). Don't forget the small shipping and handling charge of $37.95.
