Tinker's Plagueby Stephen B. PearlA post-apocalyptic, science fiction, environmetal, medical and political thriller - PG14, adult. Published by Draumr Publishing. 40 chapters, 349 pages, ~98,000 words. In a world where energy shortages have made technology available only to a few, a plague is released from an abandoned bioresearch facility. Brad a Doctor of General Applied Technologies, colloquially known as a Tinker, must use his meager medical knowledge to find a cure and stop the contagion's spread. As the Tinker combats the plague, the two technologically advanced nations in the area play out a cold war battle over the quarantine and the amount of aid to offer those within the plague zone. A story of intrigue and survival in a shattered future. Rating - I have rated this book as PG14, it is officially unrated. The story does contain descriptions of plague sufferers, violence and death, all of which you can see on the TV news or in a documentary, and there is a sex scene, nicely written.
