The Plague Within

Chad Summers lives in a world where a disease decimates Black communities, the government isolates and deserts them, and they're left to build their own societies. Blackmailed by the Regime, mercenary Rude Ryder sabotages Chad's attempts to gain a foothold in the emerging culture of growth. While Chad's girlfriend, model Raquel James distracts him in other ways. The novel takes place in the year 2050 in the urban community of Adamsberg, New Jersey.
Black people who have "escaped" to the comforting suburbs are forced back to co-mingle with the elements and people they had left behind. The Plague Within details how one man struggles against a controlling Regime and the traitors within to lead a society to unity and develop the necessary elements of survival - food, shelter and clothing - while fighting a devastating disease. After losing everything, for the second time in his life, can Chad rebuild his life and the lives of a population betrayed?
