Only those with natural immunity to the disease survive past the first few weeks of quarantine, and then, as all signs of a system break down, the struggle for power in separate cities across the country break out. Caught in a civil war between the military that try to instil some form of order and the rebel militia, civilians become trapped in their homes, and each one struggles to survive.

Catastropolis
Poor Josiah. Poor, filthy, illiterate Josiah Mench. Not even Liam, the closest thing he has to a friend, can stand to be near him. But for these two, friendship of any kind becomes a matter of survival when pandemic tears the world to pieces. Now, the survivors--children here and there, untouched by the plague--must hang together or die.  Catastropolis is a book of endings. When a single generation is lost, the structures of society fail--utterly, maybe forever. But there are beginnings too, visions of what life in a new future might hold for those willing to fight for it. It is here in this new, primitive age that Josiah finds his voice, and a new people find a prophet to lead them out of the wilderness. But it is also here that heaven and hell will contend for them first.Complete
