An outbreak of deadly disease across the U.S. 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, perfect for fans of Dean Koontz or Stephen King.
