Description
"Circles the globe as he [the author] identifies the eerie fallout from the months of darkness; unprecedented drought in Central America, a strange yellow dust drifting like snow over eastern Asia, prolonged famine, and the hideous pandemic of the bubonic plague."--Jacket. Beginning in A.D. 535, each catastrophe brought about the end of ancient cultures, wiped out entire populations and gave birth to new religions like Islam.
