Another Place to Die [Paperback]

Another Place to Die is a vivid account of individuals caught up in a worldwide flu pandemic. Set in Vancouver, Canada, this is a terrifying and realistic scenario of people facing the horror of a killer virus that will kill millions. Everything your Government said would protect you is a lie. Make a choice. Escape to a safe place or tough it out. As martial law is declared and soldiers have orders to shoot anyone breaking curfew, normal life begins to break down. Mass burial pits are being dug. Everyone is afraid of each other. The Pandemic is coming. Where will you go? Where exactly is safe? Another Place To Die is an essential survival manual everyone should read.

Two hundred thousand people die suddenly in China from a
mutation of the H5N1 bird-flu virus. Before the Chinese Government can
contain it, it is already literally flying around the world. It gains a
firm foothold on North America's East Coast - despite widespread use of
antivirals and a sophisticated `National Strategy for Pandemic Planning'.
Yet the vaccination needed to combat this new lethal strain is at least
four to six months away.

Worldwide, economies are imploding. Vancouver's upcoming Winter Olympic
plans are in ruins. Homeland Security have already closed the U.S. borders.
Real estate everywhere is in free fall. Rumours of mass burial sites
already being dug outside the city are circulating. Everyone is afraid of
each other and martial law has already been imposed in some major cities in
Europe and the States.

Vancouver is still functioning, seemingly secure because everyone is
vaccinated. The Premier is reluctant to close things down, aware that
fifty-percent of the population could be made unemployed. The rich are
leaving, their yachts disappear at night. This is a city on the verge of a
nightmare, reluctant to close it's eyes for fear of what may come.

There is a choice; hide away and hope to survive it, or flee to remote
locations. But beware, the virus might get there before you. We discover
the truth, there are no lone heroes to save mankind after all - it's every
man, woman and child for themselves.

We are never more than three days away from civic breakdown and the virus
quickly exposes our vulnerability. Cities die fast and all the planning in
the world can't help when no one can get to work and the power shuts down.

Realistic, plausible and relentless, Sam North's Another Place to Die is a
blueprint for anyone seeking survival tips for the coming plague. Read
`Another Place to Die' by Sam North before the next round of winter `flu.
It might just save your life.
