Riassunto

A real-life thriller, CATCHING COLD is the gripping story of the 1918 flu epidemic and the scientific race to prevent a pandemic on that scale from ever happening again. From the inhospitable wastes of the Norwegian Arctic circle to the frenzied food markets of Hong Kong, Davies tracks a small community of experts, working against the clock to uncover what made the 1918 flu virus so deadly, so that when it strikes again we will be prepared.
