The Plague Journal Camilla Noli

In a time of long term peace, a complacent, unimaginative population regularly inhabits the created worlds of the con-fabulators for the excitement their reality lacks. When a mysterious plague spreads throughout the population, Coyle - one of the greatest con-fabulators of all time - is quick to recognise the historical precedents of the disease and its potential devastating consequences. Utilising his historical and linguistic knowledge, and aided by his network of friends and subscribers, Coyle captures the stories and experiences of those around him as he searches desperately for the plague's causation. Working with his medically trained ex-partner, this quest will uncover the dark, hidden forces that drive human evolution, and reveal just how far both individuals and groups will go in order to survive. The Plague Journal is a pre-dystopian novel exploring human reactions to a devastating plague and its aftermath.
