In the Blood

This book was a hot mess. The writing was okay at best and the science was a little difficult to swallow. I kept on thinking that this shouldn't have gotten the nomination for a Lambda Literary Award in 1990. I felt like it needed a really good editor to help the author with sentence building and continuity. But for some reason, in the end, I realized I enjoyed it. The plot is about a virus that sends the US into a nearly barbaric state. The trope was most famously done by Stephen King in "The Stand" and has been done many times since. However, it was probably a pretty novel approach to a book where women dominate the cast and feature a lesbian relationship.
