The Winter Station
Author: Jody Shields
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316385328
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
An aristocratic Russian doctor races to contain a deadly plague in an outpost city in Manchuria - before it spreads to the rest of the world. 1910: people are mysteriously dying at an alarming rate in the Russian-ruled city of Kharbin, a major railway outpost in Northern China. Strangely, some of the dead bodies vanish before they can be identified. During a dangerously cold winter in a city gripped by fear, the Baron, a wealthy Russian aristocrat and the city's medical commissioner, is determined to stop this mysterious plague. Battling local customs, an occupying army, and a brutal epidemic with no name, the Baron is torn between duty and compassion, between Western medical science and respect for Chinese tradition. His allies include a French doctor, a black marketeer, and a charismatic Chinese dwarf. His greatest refuge is the intimacy he shares with his young Chinese wife - but she has secrets of her own. Based on a true story that has been lost to history, set during the last days of imperial Russia, The Winter Station is a richly textured and brilliant novel about mortality, fear and love.

Winter Castle is the second in a trilogy that tells the story of an ordinary survivor in a post-apocalyptic world with dangers lurking around every corner. Can be read independently. Winter has survived the first six months of the plague, but stands on shaky legs, battered, bruised and dead inside. The only thing keeping her alive? Castle. The mysterious soldier who saved her from a rotter attack, a cold and callous man she loathes to her core. Together, they must hike through the woods as a team to reach the meet-up point. As those weeks of cold nights and quiet days pass, Winter finds that Castle might not be the man she'd thought. And after losing Leo and her Chihuahua, Cleo, to the rotter attack, Winter struggles to fight against Castle's pull.

Secrets that unravel in the form of old foes and friends, stripping away the scraps of humanity she has left in her.

"Benedictow's findings relating to the mortality caused by the Black Death are based on the study and synthesis of all available demographic studies. Published over the past forty years, most of them in widely dispersed local journals and local histories, this cumulative evidence, astounding in its implications, has gone largely unnoticed.
