Book excerpt: What can stand between America and a plague that devours human bodies from the inside out? Cases of sudden, unexplained deaths—marked by rapid decomposition—are cropping up across the U.S. Their cause: a supermicrobe that causes flesh-eating disease so aggressive that victims die within an hour and infect dozens more. Suspecting bioterrorists at work, Homeland Security is willing to bend any rule to find the source of the deadly infection, even if it means resurrecting a "dead" Iraqi biochemist, long held in a CIA ghost prison. The disease's unwitting creator risked her life trying to destroy it. Her sister tried, too, and landed in prison. But time is running out as they search for the one person who might hold the key.…

Download or read book Yesterday s Train written by Terry Pindell and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1988, Terry Pindell has been exploring North America, seeking integration of past and present, history and headlines. The result has been three highly acclaimed book spinning a beautiful web of culture, people, travel, and sociology. Now, in his fourth quest for the soul of the continent, Pindell brings us his fullest history and most expansive cultural portrait yet. Yesterday's Train starts from a twisted tree at the shore near Veracruz--where according to local legend Cortes first chained his ships in 1519--a place where the earth itself seems in protest. From there, Pindell and collaborator Lourdes Ramirez Mallis travel to the stunning extremes of Mexico's landscape while casting back through its past. From ancient Toltec myth and Aztec ritual to the recent crisis in Chiapas and the halls of Mexico City power, they explore the strange contradictions of Mexico's character. Journeying mostly by train, Pindell and Ramirez Mallis discover a country in conflict with the Western symbolism of their chosen mode of travel. That is Mexico's story today--a clash between the old Mexico and the new one its leaders and much of the rest of the world hope to create. In Yesterday's Train, Terry Pindell brings us an odyssey through the most troubled part of the continent, witnessing for a year the roots of Meixco's current civil upheaval. And as always, he accomplishes more than a journey, traveling straight to the restive heart of a land and its people.

Except in video games, sixteen-year-old Nathan doesn’t usually play hero, but what would you do if you caught a cute guy stealing from your convenience store? How was he supposed to know Adrian had a gun? Or that he escaped from a secret military lab where he was being experimented on, for that matter? Now Nathan is driving a stolen car, running from the government with his nagging best friend Kimiko and a stranger with a gun who is suffering from a mysterious disease that seems to be breaking out across the country. But apart from those minor snags, things are going great. Sometimes Adrian even speaks – making Nathan’s heart beat faster – even though he mostly just tells him to shut up. Nathan isn’t sure if he can believe Adrian’s story. All he knows is that if he doesn’t save him from the government, he will never see Adrian again, and that’s just a non-starter. But first he has to save his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was twelve years old when the world ended. For eight years I’ve survived this hellhole of a planet, fighting the parasites that mutated most of earth’s population into blood-thirsty freaks, while the rest of us became the lunch special on their human-filled menu. And that’s only one of our problems as we try to survive everyday life in this new reality. Enough food and water? If we’re lucky. Leaving the safety of our high walls? Only if we want to face the vicious cannibals and leeches haunting the streets searching for prey. Living any sort of normalcy? Yeah, right. If it wasn’t for my fellow hunters and Luke, I would have given up long ago. Luke. My friend. My leader. My rock. The man whose arms held me as my world shattered when the invaders took everything I had left. And he wants more. More time. More... commitment. But these walls I’ve built up are the only thing keeping me together. If I let him in, if I let myself love him, it’ll only hurt worse when the inevitable happens. Because in our world, no one is safe, since the only end to this suffering is death. And our war is just beginning. They’ve already stolen so much from me. It’s time for things to change. My name is Bixby and I’m the resistance. Mature themes and explicit language. 17+ Rating.
