Biological War - A Scenario
There is an invisible weapon among us.
By the time you know you are a victim, it has turned you into a killer.
A compelling, fast-paced, ticking clock non-fiction thriller from the author of the bestselling Nuclear War: A Scenario.
A lab accident, a bio-attack, a global pandemic, and the collapse of human society. In this explosive new book, based on dozens of new interviews with experts with high-level political, governmental, medical, and military responsibility, Annie Jacobsen examines this very scenario.
There is no mushroom cloud, no shock wave or blast. Instead, the scenario that could end the world as we know it begins with something so small and malicious, that when used for evil, only evil can result.
This is what could happen; a roadmap to the hours, days, and weeks following the release of a biological agent, that serves as the most essential, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval.
Madame Bovary
Presented in a stunning collector's edition with gilded page edges, this 19th-century French masterpiece captures the tragic allure of Emma Bovary and the societal critique that made Flaubert a legend.

The eponymous Emma is a victim of the smug, self-deluding French bourgeoisie that Flaubert despised. Trapped in a marriage to a second-rate provincial doctor, she escapes the suffocating confines of her existence by immersing herself in sentimental novels. Her idealization of beauty, romance and high society lead her into an affair with a philandering neighbor. When this ends, she is quickly drawn into a liaison that has far more dangerous consequences.

As autumn approaches, they reluctantly part: Liza to return to Paris, Seryozha to take up his studies at university in London. When he finds out about their affair, Seryozha''s father attempts to convince Liza to leave his son, for the sake of the boy''s own happiness. She finally gives in—but a sudden, fatal catastrophe changes everything.An account of twisted love and youthful disillusionment that recalls Vladimir Nabokov and Françoise Sagan, full of secrets and reversals, Gazdanov''s second novel is proof of his wide-ranging talents. Originally written before his celebrated noir experiments, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf and The Buddha''s Return, The Flight blends tragic inevitability, complex and fractured family relationships, and a whirling cast of émigrés struggling to break through each other’s solitude to make for a devastating and compelling read.
