In this spellbinding novel of adventure and science, two eras are joined by a single trace of microscopic bacterium-the invisible seeds of a new Bubonic Plague. In the year 1348, a physician journeys to England on an impossible mission to save the royal family from the Black Death. In the year 2005, a scientist unearths a terror laying dormant in the soil for nearly 700 years. Their stories are linked by history and defined by circumstances. They are the plague tales.
