A Great Review for 'Pestilence'

[Brian L Porter]

I'm delighted that my recent release, 'Pestilence' has just picked up a great 5 star reader review at Amazon.

From award winning author Brian L Porter comes the thriller sensation of the year. 'Pestilence' leads where others will follow in creating a
scare-fest that will terrify, entertain and astound the reader.

Pestilence....breathe if you dare!

The year is 1958, the place, an idyllic village in the heart of the English countryside. Olney St. Mary has stood in its peaceful rural location for over 900 years. Suddenly however, the peace
of the community is shattered when two teenage boys are stricken with a
mystery illness. The newly arrived village doctor suspects `flu to be
the cause of their malady. Her initial diagnosis is terribly and
tragically wrong!

Before long, Doctor Hilary Newton and the residents of Olney are plunged into a nightmare of Biblical proportions as the death toll rises and no cure can be found for the disease that
ravages the local population, despite the doctors employing the latest
antibiotics available to them. Somehow, this plague is different! Help
arrives in the form of a medical team from the outside, but the bodies
continue to pile up. Someone, somewhere, perhaps within the community
itself, knows the reason behind the pestilence that has struck at the
heart of the village, but will the medics learn the truth before it's
too late, or will they too join the growing list of names that appear on
the roll of death roll in Olney St. Mary?

When a mysterious explosion wreaks havoc in the children's playground, followed by a second lethal blast in Olney's makeshift field hospital the sinister and
unbelievable truth behind the pestilence begins to slowly reveal
itself.

Award-winning author Brian L Porter takes terror to a new dimension as an age old horror returns to nineteen fifties rural England. This time however, the pestilence itself appears to have
evolved

5.0 out of 5 stars

An Excellent Read,

Pestilence

By Brian L Porter

The story is set in a sleepy village in the heart of the Kent countryside during the year 1958. The Second World War is over and now
nothing extraordinary ever happens in Olney St. Mary. The people are
peaceful and law abiding, as they go about their day-to-day lives.
Therefore how could anyone expect the horror that was about to unfold
and disrupt this small community forever.

Brian L Porter describes the grim reality of a situation that could very easily have happened. The characters are totally believable, as
they desperately try to understand what is going on around them, when
one by one their friends and neighbours are stricken with an illness no
one recognises. Doctors and nurses are flown to the scene to help the
sick, while men from the Ministry arrive to contain the disease. But
then as the plot unfolds, we learn that everyone and everything is not
as it seems. What really caused the illness? Who is the traitor in their
midst? Who can be trusted? It is only in the final chapters that the
truth and the full horror of what really happened are revealed.

Pestilence is an edge of the seat thriller. I found that once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. The author cleverly leads
the reader through several possible explanations before finally
declaring both the culprit and the reason for their deception. A
thoroughly good read and a `must have' for all those who enjoy
thrillers.
