In the blood

the long version

"In the near future, America, accidental victim of a biological warfare, is under forcible quarantine by a world desperate to protect itself from a savage virus named the Red Death, and within America itself entire states have sealed off their borders. Enclaves exist where the Red Death has not wreaked it's havoc and one of them is a hidden lesbian group rumored to offer sanctuary... if they can be found. Solar-tech Hart, is accompanying virologist Dr. Ashe to the California border. Ashe may hold the key to survival for she has developed an experimental vaccine against the virus. She is charged with bringing the virus to the Bio-Stike forces. Capt. Sandoval, commander of the Bio Strike forces has orders regarding Dr Ashe, but another officer assigned to Sandoval's unit, has her own secret set of orders. In a primal stuggle for survival and safety Hart and Sadoval find themselves caught in a web of treachery, kidnapping, even murder."--back cover.
