A terrorist group secures a demonically engineered virus in Moscow.   Dane Morrell and her satanic coven join forces with the terrorists to release the virus within strategic cities around the world.  Dr. William Downs (Bill) and the staff at the Oakland Infectious Disease Center (OIDC), a division of The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, begins tracking the virus after its first outbreak on Khlos Island just off Turkey.

 

     Seda Orhan, living in Oakland but a native of Khlos Island, receives a package sent by her mother from the Island.  Seda becomes infected by the contaminated package.   Aided by Elijah Jordan, a weathered old man of dark skin who often mysteriously appears in the action of the novel, Seda is brought to OIDC. 

 

     As the virus outbreaks continue, Bill is led to make a disturbing decision.  Knowing that it will be impossible to implement a full scale immunization process, he presents researchers at OIDC with a life or death option.  Weeks later, Luke downs, a young pastor  and brother to Bill, wakes up sick with what he believes to be the flu.  Rachel Jacobson, a single young woman, stops by his apartment with homemade chicken soup intended to help her new pastor mend. 

 

     Luke takes a liking to Rachel, and very quickly seeks to strike up a relationship.  Rachel, a lovely woman in form and spirit, is attracted to the young pastor, but has concerns about his liberal bent.  Unknown to her, Luke’s mind is demonized by an enchantress only briefly met as he was packing to leave the seminary–a woman dressed completely in red.

 

      Three courtships are struck amid the chaos of a world caught in terror.  Bill Downs will meet Briggite (Briggs) Brandon on a hiking trip in Colorado.  Kris Downs, a smooth jazz DJ working in Boston, will begin an unlikely courtship with the man who was the corporate hatchet severing her from her job at KLFO Radio.  And  Pastor Luke Downs will be torn between down-to-earth Rachel Jacobson and the lady who haunts his mind.

 

     Evil entities and heavenly Guardians interact with the novel’s characters.  Plague of Terror reflects the unseen realities battling within a spiritual clash that places the heart and soul of every son and daughter of Adam in harms way.  As Prof. F. C. Rossow noted, “Yet behind all these familiar realities, David Paul subtly reminds us of an even greater and spiritual reality: demonic forces infiltrating our workaday lives in their effort to bend history to their malevolent will, but eventually succumbing to God’s benign will to rescue and save humankind through the cross of His Son Jesus.”
