Death's Whisper

Book excerpt: The dying bird brings the plague, the plague brings the dust, and the dust brings death. Plagued by dusk, dust by dawn. The world will crumble, the dead will rise, and everyone will sing. 1645 The plague has swept across the planet, claiming the lives of millions of people. In Edinburgh, doctor Ian Campbell hides a swarm of plague victims in his underground plague hospital, locking them away from society. Present Day A new, aggressive and highly infectious strain of the ancient plague emerges, threatening to wipe the human race from the face of the planet. Hidden beneath the streets of Edinburgh, a primitive race of people have been patiently biding their time, dreaming of the day they will roam the streets once more.
