What starts with plague, ends in war, and begs to be banned by certain governors? This book!

She's just an ordinary freelancer on the search for the next big gig until a very small virus comes to town, turning her into a disabled medical refugee trapped behind enemy lines. Isolated, unemployed, and hunted by hate groups, she starts interviewing chairs and asking to be fingerprinted by the FBI. Then things really get difficult.

With nothing but frayed nerves and whatever is left in her bank account, she'll have to outrun fine print, arms dealers, and a toilet paper shortage of global proportions. With only maps, masks, and madcap plans left to save her from a country on the brink, can she outrun the self-described "wealthiest, most powerful nation on earth" to find a place she can survive?

Follow the alter egos, shattered hopes, and snarky comebacks of Amy, Amy, and some omniscient narrator who sounds suspiciously like Amy through two years that start with crazy and end in exhaustion as America melts down from the inside out. It's a memoir, international emigration guide, and pointed critique of fifty years of abysmal U.S. policymaking, all in one! Buy it for the one-liners, keep it for the tips on how to escape right-wing zombies.

Compared by readers to "a primal scream" and "like being in Douglas Adams' head in a pandemic", this eFestival of science, stand-up routines, and support for allied nations is bound to amuse, offend, and inform in a kaleidoscope of profanity-laced rants from the edge of the American dream. It's a one-of-a-kind mash-up of rage and rollercoaster laughs guaranteed to turn your stomach or tone your core, depending on your sense of humor and democracy.

Yes, brave readers, this book answers the question no one asked: If Fareed Zakaria, Amy Sedaris, and Hunter S. Thompson were trapped in a pandemic together, what would happen next? Gonzo journalism meets current events with comedic gusto, if you're bold enough to take the adventure.
