Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Silver Plague" by Albert dePina is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. This gripping narrative unfolds in a futuristic universe where a mysterious disease known as the Silver Plague threatens the denizens of the Jovian Moons, leading to grave consequences for human civilization. The topic revolves around the existential crisis posed by this epidemic and the political intrigue tied to the origins and implications of the disease. The story follows Julian Varon, who becomes embroiled in the struggle against the Silver Plague that ravages the population of the Jovian Moons, transforming the infected into sterile Mutants with silver hair and eyes. As Varon grapples with the dire situation, he uncovers a conspiracy linked to the Arch-Mutant Fermin and the Ganymedean society. Amidst fights, chaos, and revelations, Varon's journey takes him through dramatic confrontations, including a desperate race against time to find a cure. His love for Narda, a Techno-Star, adds emotional stakes, culminating in a thrilling climax where the fate of the Moons hangs in the balance. Ultimately, Varon's quest for answers leads to a confrontation that reveals the intricate weave of power dynamics and survival in a universe spiraling toward extinction.
