The Plague Tales consists of two parallel stories: one an account of a king's physician in 14th-century England, the other a tale of futuristic London--a time when antibiotics no longer cure and "Bio-Cops," empowered to exterminate those suspected of carrying disease, prowl the streets.

This is a very intriguing story that takes place in Midevil times and present times and how they come together in the end. I didn't know how it was going to end and really enjoyed the outcome of it.

Two novels in one, set hundreds of years apart. In the last pages of the book, the point at which the two stories intersect is made plain. Both stories held sufficient tension to keep my interest in each separately. (Sometimes when I read books with separate plot lines, I'm bored by one storyline and resent the reading time spent in it when I could be reading the other! :) That was not the case with this book.)
