A team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the years, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance remained vigilant for the microbe's return. As the project faced shutdown, a Brazilian drone detected an anomaly in the jungle, revealing the chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This alarming find prompted the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to confront a potential apocalypse. The microbe, however, is evolving rapidly. If the team cannot reach the quarantine zone, enter the anomaly, and devise a solution, this new threat could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.

L'idea di questa antologia, pubblicata come numero unico della rivista di Dave Eggers "McSweeney's", nasce dalla volontà del curatore, Michael Chabon, di ridare dignità e visibilità alle short stories di avventure in cui un tempo si cimentavano autori quali Balzac, Conrad, Henry James ed Edith Wharton. Una raccolta in cui il racconto breve riacquista la sua dimensione più classica, tradizionale e avvincente: quella di narrarre storie avventurose e piene di thrilling. Gli autori chiamati a misurarsi con questa sfida sono tra i più rappresentativi della letteratura angloamericana da Stephen King a Rick Moody, da Michael Crichton a Neil Gaiman, da Elmore Leonard a Nick Hornby per finire con Dave Heggers e Harlan Ellison.

This novel is another thriller from the bestselling author of 'Jurassic Park' and 'Prey'. Drawing on his past as a Harvard Medical School student and his ongoing study of the world of technology, Crichton's gripping fiction is grounded in scientific fact culled from the latest academic journals.

Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be reminded of who I really am. When Michael Crichton -- a Harvard-trained physician, bestselling novelist, and successful movie director -- began to feel isolated in his own life, he decided to widen his horizons. He tracked wild animals in the jungles of Rwanda. He climbed Kilimanjaro and Mayan pyramids. He trekked across a landslide in Pakistan. He swam amid sharks in Tahiti. Fueled by a powerful curiosity and the need to see, feel, and hear firsthand and close-up, Michael Crichton has experienced adventures as compelling as those he created in his books and films. These adventures -- both physical and spiritual -- are recorded here in Travels, Crichton's most astonishing and personal work.

In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface of the water, a huge vessel is discovered resting on the ocean floor. It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old. But even more fantastic—and frightening—is what waits inside . . .
