Book Synopsis

How do we deal with the aftermath of catastrophe?

It's ten years since a deadly pandemic swept the globe, and five years since the last new recorded case. Society came close to collapse, but now there's a vaccine though not a cure people are only dying in the usual ways.

Lukas, along with several hundred other infected people, is quarantined in a camp on a mountain of Central Asia. With nothing to do, and no future to speak of, the inmates pass the time drinking, taking drugs, joining a cult, making are or having sex with whoever they can.

Rebecca is a scientist who worked on the vaccine that saved the world. Having lost her partner in the years of chaos, she keeps testing the vaccine against mutations of the virus, because it seems inevitable that there will be a next time.

Quarantine is a thrillingly intelligent novel about how we as individuals, and as a society deal with the aftermath of catastrophe.
