Earth's New Beginning: The Sleeping Death Contagion

John Gleed

In Gleed&#39;s first novel, a highly infectious virus (The Sleeping Death Contagion &mdash; SDC) kills most of the Earth&#39;s population in less than three months. In only three days, the virus causes the death of nearly every infected victim as they sleep. Only a rare and random genetic immunity to the fatal effects of the virus leaves less than one in a hundred thousand survivors.<br><br>This story follows the lives of six different survivors in Canada, England, Kenya, China, France and the United States for the first nine months after the disease strikes.
