Read this excerpt from "One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest." The flu is caused by a family of influenza (flu) viruses. Some are more deadly than others. Over the past few years, a strain of bird flu viruses has infected a small number of people in Asia. Although the virus did not spread easily from person to person, it was deadly to those who became infected. In 1918, a similar but fast-spreading flu killed over three percent of the world’s people. About 500 million people were infected, with more than 1 in 10 dying of the disease. It was the world’s most severe epidemic.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
