Plagued, With Guilt

People are complicated. The world is messy. Both are about to get worse.

Is the divide between human and animal really as great as we believe?

Five young friends unwillingly discover the answer when their archaeological expedition to Iraq unearths an ancient scourge that ravages the mind and empowers the body. But the threat of unstoppable disease is matched by man-made disasters as the friends find their lives ripped apart by war, terrorism, and betrayal.

Yet through it all, the human spirit reveals no shortage of heroism, sacrifice, virtue, and redemption.

Described by Kirkus Reviews as "as a fierce academic thriller and powerful meditation on humanity," PLAGUED, WITH GUILT intertwines action with diverse topics such as history, science, mental health, and more.
