When an industrial accident unleashes an \"airborne toxic event,\" a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the \"white noise\" engulfing the Gladneys--radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings--pulsing with life, yet suggesting something ominous. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
