Why read it?

This collection of short stories by twenty different authors explores how a fictional deadly disease affects a range of people, from scientists to government officials to everyday teens.

Using a single incident to drive the plot, the collaborative nature sets this collection apart.

From Yvonne's list on on pandemics published pre-COVID.
