Plague

By: Graham Masterton

Narrated by: Russell Bentley

An outbreak of deadly disease. No cure. Everyone who leaves the plague-zone must be shot....

At first the rules were simple: quarantine the city and let the plague die. So men and women closed their doors and lived in lockdown, fighting for survival against a disease as contagious and destructive as the Black Death. A disease for which there was no known cure.

But the plague did not die. And so, at lunchtime on a Friday afternoon, the president announces the new rules. Every American should take up arms to protect the disease-free zones. Anyone attempting to leave the plague-zone must be shot....

A gripping suspense thriller about an outbreak of plague in the USA, this is perfect for fans of Dean Koontz or Stephen King.

Critic reviews

"A true master of horror." (James Herbert)

"One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time." (Peter James)

A Dry Listen

Storyline dragged on, incessantly, and more than its fair share of racial terms and slurs that made my eyebrows raise a couple of times.

I stayed the course and finished it but apparently was already on autopilot by the end and Dr Pettrie's closing statement lost me.

Don't allow my review to sway, try it if you'd like.

sounded like covid but....

changed story some. BUT the ending was horrible!! What happened to the poor little girl??

Plague, by Graham Masterton

Interesting story about a plague epidemic that was immune to the newest antibiotics. Killed a good portion of the USA and probably the rest of the world to but the story was in the USA. Kind of reminded me of Stephen Kings The Stand but minus the magical stuff. This was a very believable story if someone was stupid enough to make such a bioweapon.
