Inverness, FL (PRWEB) August 21, 2006
The annuals of history are riff with new illnesses that appear and play havoc on the human population. Our modern times are experiencing an upsurge of new illnesses with far more then 40 having been identified within the last couple of decades. Most recently Avian flu has been the most hyped disease despite the fact that it is by far not the only 1 that can threaten the future of human life on the planet and possibly not even the most hazardous. For instance, Nipah virus, which was initial identified in 1999, has about the exact same fatality rate as Avian flu but hasn't seen the very same news coverage in spite of being simply spread from individual to individual. But, one of these two may not even be the 1 that gets us. Viruses mutate on a regular basis. Today's stomach ache causing virus my be tomorrows killer pandemic and a tough to transmit virus like Ebola is just as likely to evolve into a nightmare strain that can be spread simply by coughing. Such has practically already happened. Had the Reston strain of Ebola been able to infect human beings, rather then just simians, the events in 'Plague' might have come true almost two decades ago.
Moss Valley and his friend Boose Harrison begin there work week generally in Plague for the last time. By the end of the week the Ebola outbreak being reported on in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has gone from a nearby danger to a worldwide crisis because of 1 young boy and his family that infects everyone on an international flight from Kinshasa to Paris, France. Not until the CDC team sent to the DRC start dying does it turn into apparent that the virus is a new strain far deadlier then any known previously. By then the virus has a toehold all around the world and containment is impossible. Survival is the only choice, by any way achievable, for the billions placed at risk.
"The inspiration for my 1st novel came to me in a recurring dream in which I watched from the top of a developing as a city burned around me. Unlike most dreams this one didn't fade away. The image of a city becoming consumed in a conflagration haunted me for the much better portion of a week until I begin piecing together why a city would suffer such a catastrophe," says author Jeremiah Donaldson. "Being a fan of disaster movies and the lessons of history I decided that 1 city being brought down was but the manifestation of a far larger problem, thus was born 'Plague'."
