The disease's origin, methods of propagation and means of contraction are all unknown. There is no vaccine, and none is expected, as the virus is protean and elusive. If it remains unchecked and mutates into a more virulent form, it will become an extinction level event.

Unter den Kandidatinnen sind drei junge Frauen, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten: Während Dora aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen stammt, ist Millie eine waschechte Aristokratin, die lieber etwas Sinnvolles tut, als sich einen Ehemann zu suchen.

Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus.

Tutto sembra crollare dal giorno in cui scopre di essere affetta da una malattia degenerativa, curabile solo con un trapianto di cellule staminali.

Le paludi pontine sono terra di città nuove, "trionfali" e desolate, che nessun turista visitava fino a ieri. Sono un alveare di contadini, gente che parla in romanesco e ricorda in veneto, spediti lì dal Duce - quello "buono", quello che mieteva il grano - a bonificare stagni e pantani. Che poi, mica la voleva, lui, Littoria. Lui si accontentava di qualche borgo rurale, perché gli italiani sono un popolo di agricoltori. Ma alla fine ci si è affezionato, e anche ora che si chiama Latina il suo fantasma ci si aggira sempre, di notte, a bordo d'un rumorosissimo Guzzi 500-Falcone sport. Controlla che tutto vada bene e che la gente del posto non combini troppi casini. Perché "di là" vogliono caricarlo pure dei peccati loro. In fondo è a causa sua che abitano quel brandello di Lazio. Perfino il sindaco è un uomo suo.
