Book Description
From the Authors of 'The Fur Seekers' and 'The Long Ride Home' The frontier ain't a place for folks troubled by any weaknesses, not with hostile tribes and wide open spaces aplenty between you and another friendly face. God-fearing mountain man Deacon knows any day trapping can end in a disaster that will test a man's faith—as well as his sorry hide. So when Deacon narrowly escapes death, he feels God has spared him for a reason. His old pal Able becomes the lord's messenger when he asks for Deacon's help with a special task...to guide a group of freed slaves and their families to a new life on the western frontier, taking a dangerous and harsh trail from St Louis to Butterfield's Trading Post. As the story of the greenhorns unfolds Deacon knows he's found his new calling. But Deacon couldn't predict the changing tides and obstacles in this trip or that the good Lord would soon present to him his greatest adventure of all, an act that would forever change Butterfield's Trading Post on a very special Christmas, in the shining mountains.

The Premonition: A Pandemic Story
Author: Michael Lewis
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393881563
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
New York Times Bestseller For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’s taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19. The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl’s science project on transmission of an airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A local public-health officer uses her worm’s-eye view to see what the CDC misses, and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines, has everything necessary to fight the pandemic: brilliant backgrounds, world-class labs, prior experience with the pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu…everything, that is, except official permission to implement their work. Michael Lewis is not shy about calling these people heroes for their refusal to follow directives that they know to be based on misinformation and bad science. Even the internet, as crucial as it is to their exchange of ideas, poses a risk to them. They never know for sure who else might be listening in.
