"Pandemic" by Jesse F. Bone is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around a deadly virus known as Thurston's Disease, which has decimated the human population, leaving behind a world struggling for survival. The story unfolds within a research institute dedicated to finding a cure for the plague, focusing on the challenges faced by medical personnel dealing with the consequences of this widespread epidemic. At the center of the plot are Dr. Walter Kramer and Mary Barton, a recently appointed assistant who has her own motivations for fighting the disease—having lost her family to it. As they work together in the confines of their hazardous laboratory, they uncover the complexities of the virus while forming a deep bond. The story delves into their scientific efforts, the despair surrounding the epidemic, and an unexpected breakthrough linked to smoking that might lead to a treatment. As the narrative progresses, it not only highlights the personal struggles of its characters but also underscores the theme of hope and resilience in the face of a seemingly insurmountable crisis.
