About this product
Product Information
From the global bestselling author of The Big Short, the gripping story of the maverick scientists who hunted down Covid-19 'It's a foreboding,' she said. 'A knowing that something is looming around the corner. Like how when the seasons change you can smell Fall in the air right before the leaves change and the wind turns cold.' In January 2020, as people started dying from a new virus in Wuhan, China, few really understood the magnitude of what was happening. Except, that is, a small group of scientific misfits who in their different ways had been obsessed all their lives with how viruses spread and replicated - and with why the governments and the institutions that were supposed to look after us, kept making the same mistakes time and again. This group saw what nobody else did. A pandemic was coming. We weren't prepared. The Premonition is the extraordinary story of a group who anticipated, traced and hunted the coronavirus; who understood the need to think differently, to learn from history, to question everything; and to do all of this fast, in order to act, to save lives, communities, society itself. It's a story about the workings of the human mind; about the failures and triumphs of human judgement and imagination. It's the story of how we got to now.Product Identifiers

Breath taking page turner!
A breath taking page turning thriller that reads like a book version of the film “Contagion”…only the shocking bit is this is an actual account of the covid-19!! The author makes the characters vivid, the conversations and “action” spring to the imagination without effort and there’s no sentences wasted with lovely descriptions of buildings, trees, settings which is part of any usual fiction story. This is truly jaw dropping in the expose of government inefficiency and criminal neglect. The unsung heroes which even today, we do not recognise, should be lauded! Highly, highly recommend this book for any fans of Lee Childs, Michael Critchton, Grisham, etc. Fans of non-fiction- a must read to realise just how stunning humanity can be and just how awful, ignorant and inept our elected officials CHOOSE to be. It will make your blood boil to realise just how so many deaths were avoidable. Covid-19 is a living organism without choice or morality. Our elected officials and workers have these things. Who/what is the real enemy? Fantastic book!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
