Reviews
"Whew! A compelling read up to the last sentence. Wright has come up with a story worthy of Michael Crichton. In an eerily calm, matter-of-fact way, and backed by meticulous research, he imagines what the world would actually be like in the grip of a devastating new virus." --Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone and The Cobra Event "[A] multifaceted thriller . . . Wright pulls few punches and imbues even walk-on characters with enough humanity that their fate will matter to readers. This timely literary page-turner shows Wright is on a par with the best writers in the genre." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "Whew! A compelling read up to the last sentence. Wright has come up with a story worthy of Michael Crichton.

Synopsis
"An eerily prescient novel about a devastating virus that begins in Asia before going global . . . A page-turner that has the earmarks of an instant bestseller." -- New York Post "Featuring accounts of past plagues and pandemics, descriptions of pathogens and how they work, and dark notes about global warming, the book produces deep shudders . . . A disturbing, eerily timed novel." -- Kirkus Reviews "A compelling read up to the last sentence. Wright has come up with a story worthy of Michael Crichton.

At an internment camp in Indonesia, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever. When Henry Parsons--microbiologist, epidemiologist--travels there on behalf of the World Health Organization to investigate, what he finds will soon have staggering repercussions across the globe: an infected man is on his way to join the millions of worshippers in the annual Hajj to Mecca. Now, Henry joins forces with a Saudi prince and doctor in an attempt to quarantine the entire host of pilgrims in the holy city . . . A Russian émigré, a woman who has risen to deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security, scrambles to mount a response to what may be an act of biowarfare . . . Already-fraying global relations begin to snap, one by one, in the face of a pandemic . . . Henry's wife, Jill, and their children face diminishing odds of survival in Atlanta . . . And the disease slashes across the United States, dismantling institutions--scientific, religious, governmental--and decimating the population. As packed with suspense as it is with the fascinating history of viral diseases, Lawrence Wright has given us a full-tilt, electrifying, one-of-a-kind thriller., In this riveting medical thriller--from the Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author--Dr. Henry Parsons, an unlikely but appealing hero, races to find the origins and cure of a mysterious new killer virus as it brings the world to its knees.

- 4***a (27)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI needed to know more about the item - the seller responded to my inquiries immediately with the information I needed. The item arrived in perfect condition, as described, on time and wrapped in cellophane, bubble wrap, a box, and inside a shipping bag! (which prevented the wallpaper from getting wet while sitting on my steps). This wallpaper is discontinued and very difficult to find but, the seller had it priced at a great value! Plus, he was just a really nice person to do business with!RaschWallpaper~MultiColor 21 inch x 11 yds Covers 57.75 sq ft~New~1 Roll (#284607509549)

- 6***9 (164)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought one place setting from Pottery Barn recently to see if I liked this flatware, which I do. I decided to check ebay and was thrilled to see these 3 sets available and at a much reduced price. They arrived well-packaged in a short amount of time and are new as specified. I love them, and with what I saved I can buy another set from Pottery Barn. Thanks for the great service and the discount!!Pottery Barn Tabletop Adele Beaded Flatware 5-Piece Set (NEW) ~ 1 Person Setting (#286370724510)
