The Brethren Plague

A Novel by Dr. Jeff Deal

represented by agent Jeanie Pantelakis

The Brethren Plague traces the original documented case of HIV to present day and a terrorist plot to infect the masses. (Based on documented cases and articles both in the critical media and medical journals.)

In 1959, a Bantu hunter, who had cut his hand while butchering a monkey to feed his family, wandered into a medical clinic in the Congo only to die a short while later. Blood samples were taken tested and stored. No one had ever seen this type of case before.

Fifty years later, the world is very familiar with HIV/AIDS. Stigmas and taboos, shunning and ostracizing all who are found infected, society is at odds on who is to blame. It is on every rung of the social ladder. A terrorist group, The Brethren, which consists of HIV positive homosexuals, does not want to die alone. They want to take as many victims with them as they can, unleashing an epidemic through blood bank contamination and even to the point of mutating the strain to survive being airborne; as easy to catch as the common cold…

This is a most believable scenario in such desperate times. Dr. Deal has done extensive research ensuring the accuracy of the information. Having seen and treated HIV victims in Sudan and other Third World countries, he can attest to the personal and physical hardships the suffering must endure.
