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. 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 "This timely literary page-turner shows Wright is on a par with the best writers in the genre." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) 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. 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 (26)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI 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)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI 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)
- ****a (781)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadafinally, i can leave feedback! my package took a very long journey, getting to salt lake city, which is 70 miles from my home and then inexplicably going from there to new orleans, and from there on to houston, from houston to aurora colorado, with a few little stops here in wyoming along the way. NOT THE FAULT OF SELLER who shipped promptly. product just as described, package carefully, arrived safely and in undamaged condition despite the very lengthy journey. thank you!Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Matte ~ Choose Your Shade ~ (#286335536405)
