Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Wiwit Widarto, a worker on the Zaandam, was excited to explore the city’s nightlife before embarking on a month-long cruise around South America. #2 In Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Saturday night, the crowd at La Bombonera stadium was in full swing for a crucial match against rival River Plate. Boca Juniors won 1–0, taking the championship. The crowd flooded the streets of Buenos Aires, waving flags and chanting victory songs. #3 The Zaandam was a cruise ship that catered to seniors. It was ten stories tall and the length of two football fields, and it was scheduled to be overhauled soon after this cruise ended in Port Everglades, Florida. #4 The Zaandam sailed to Argentina, where Lance and Carl boarded. They were given a short questionnaire about recent cough or fever, and they felt like they were being encouraged to get on the ship. They were planning a special occasion: their fortieth anniversary.
Cabin Fever
'Gripping... The authors skillfully capture the fear and claustrophobia. A riveting real-life drama.' Kirkus 'Cabin Fever is riveting, taut, and extensively researched. Smith and Franklin have written a page-turning adventure that will keep you reading late into the night.' Martin Dugard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Taking Paris 'A gripping account of how an invisible stowaway - the Covid-19 virus - transformed a fun-filled luxury cruise into an unimaginable nightmare.' Sara Gay Forden, bestselling author of House of Gucci 'Extensive first-hand testimony and the authors' brisk, matter-of-fact style enrich this propulsive account of how a holiday cruise turned into a nightmare. Readers will be riveted.' - Publishers Weekly In early 2020, the world was on edge. An ominous virus was spreading and no one knew what the coming weeks would bring. Far from the hotspots, the cruise ship Zaandam was preparing to sail from Buenos Aires loaded with 1,200 passengers - British, American, Australian, European and South American tourists, plus 600 crew. Most passengers were over the age of 65. There was concern about the virus in the news but that was oceans away. Escaping to sea at the ends of the earth for a few weeks seemed like it might be a good option. The cruise line had said the voyage would go ahead as scheduled and it would be safe. Within days, people aboard the Zaandam began to fall sick. The world's ports shut down. Zaandam became a top story on the news and was denied safe harbour everywhere. With only two doctors aboard and few medical supplies to test for or treat Covid-19, and with dwindling food and water, the ship wandered the oceans on an unthinkable journey. Cabin Fever is a riveting narrative thriller, taking readers behind the scenes of the ship's complex workings, and below decks into the personal lives of passengers and crew who were caught unprepared for the deadly ordeal that lay ahead. It is a story layered with moments of peril, perseverance and kindness. A remarkable tale that is filled with individual acts of heroism and the struggles and the tragedies of the crew and passengers.

Lofaro. The present volume's eleven essays concern Agee's relation to authors as diverse as Wright Morris, John Dos Passos, William T. Vollmann, Stephen Crane, and Ernest Hemingway. Furthermore, it sheds fresh light on Agee's career as an artist, critic, romantic and modernist, reviewer of books, film, and photography, journalist for Fortune magazine, and, uniquely, explores the author's personal writings through the lens of his father's life"--
