| | Marriott weaves an engrossing story of a 1994 plague outbreak in India into the chronicle of Yersin and Kitasato as an indication of how plague sits on our doorsteps waiting for the right opportunity to strike, in spite of the great advances of medicine. | | | The subject was engrossing, the story of the rivalry between the heroic Frenchman and the brilliant but cheating Japanese researchers interesting, the history of the plague informative. | | | Investigations into the nature of the disease in 1894 culminated in a contest between two early microbiologists, Kitasato and Yersin, a tale with obvious modern parallels. |

| | A good scholar must know the books and journals in his or her chosen field: they are the tools the job requires. | | | The true flame of scholarly pursuit burns with a pure light, in dowdy clothes, not in fancy blinking neon, and because the tools we use have already been designed for us by someone else, we have the luxury of ignoring design altogether and even feeling superior to it. | | | It is in some ways the same mechanical act as reading a book or even the forest floor for clues about that hunter’s bear. |

| | Giovanni Boccaccio's book the Decameron offers invalueable insight of what living and dying with the Plague was like, when the Plague was at its three year height in the years 1346 -1350. | | | So I 'light and went into another coach with a sad heart for the poor man and trouble for myself lest he should have been struck with the plague, being at the end of towne that I took him up; But god have mercy upon us all!" | | | Many other writers in Italy also wrote books and kept journals describing the horror of life and death. |

| | As the four protagonists come to resolve the fate of the Plague Years it is not technology or wits or might but the struggle between doubt and optimism that will decide the day. | | | Spinrad talks in an afterword about how the form of the story was the result of being unable to get a full-length novel on AIDS published and wishes that we might be getting further from his future than closer. | | | A narrator from the future warns us at the beginning of the book that all those in the journals are "quite mad", and there is that stripped back but recognizable insanity to the characters, as one can see in a drunken brawl or crazed fans. |
