Condition remarks:
Secondhand book: generally 'Very Good' to 'Excellent'. These are books which may have some slight wear and tear or sun fading on the edges. There may be an inscription at the front.
When the world teeters on the brink of catastrophe, only one man stands between order and chaos. State of Emergency thrusts readers into a pulse-pounding crisis scenario where time is the ultimate enemy, delivering a relentless techno-thriller that chronicles the desperate race to avert global disaster. Sam Fisher — the pseudonym of prolific Australian author Michael White — constructs a narrative that is as scientifically grounded as it is breathlessly paced, drawing on cutting-edge technology and geopolitical tension to forge a story that feels urgently, uncomfortably real. Fisher's signature style marries meticulous research with cinematic action, placing ordinary experts in extraordinarily dire circumstances and testing the very limits of human ingenuity. Themes of institutional failure, personal sacrifice, and the fragility of civilisation course through every chapter, elevating the novel beyond mere airport-thriller fare. Readers who devour the likes of Matthew Reilly or Clive Cussler will find themselves equally riveted — and left wondering just how thin the line truly is between stability and catastrophe.
