Cover images for The Gift and Understanding Tuberculosis

Two years ago on World TB Day 2010, LGC Publishing launched the print edition of The Gift, the first novel in P. C. Weber’s Hanging by a Thread series. This four-book saga tells the story of Thomas Morgan, a brilliant but deeply troubled young scientist who sets out to discover a new cure for tuberculosis and ends up on an unforgettable journey. It is the hope of LGC Publishing that this epic tale will not only prove immensely entertaining to readers who live within the developed world, but will also serve to draw attention to the global epidemic of TB that rages on outside of their borders. To this end, all proceeds from the sale of The Gift are being donated to the Stop TB Partnership via the United Nations Foundation.

For World TB Day 2012, LGC Publishing is pleased to announce the following two new releases:

The Gift e-book edition: This title is now on sale at all major online booksellers for just $0.99 in the United States and at comparably low prices in over 30 other countries. It can be viewed on not only any e-book reader, but virtually any electronic device, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. As with the print edition, all sales proceeds from the digital version of The Gift will be donated to the Stop TB Partnership, and readers will even be treated to a bonus sneak preview of Betrayal, the second book in the Hanging by a Thread series.

Understanding Tuberculosis: This online presentation at the LGC Publishing website covers all aspects of the global TB epidemic, including its causes, treatments, challenges, and history. Although comprehensive in content, it employs a simple interface which lets the user select topics of their own choosing and learn at their own pace. Understanding Tuberculosis also explains in detail the work of the Stop TB Partnership using the most current data from the World Health Organization, yet is presented in terms that the layperson can easily understand.
