Description
8vo, hardcover in dj. pp.276. A science reporter for The Wall Street Journal describes an epidemic of bubonic plague that erupted in turn-of-the-century San Francisco, first in 1900 and then five years later, and the efforts of scientists Joseph Kinyoun, Dr. Rupert Blue, and Blue's aide Colby Rucker to contain the disease, discover its source, and eradicate it from the city.
