Is Steven King too verbose for you?  Try Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's
"Time of the Fourth Horseman", c 1976.

"Twenty-first century medical science has wiped out all of the
deadly diseases.  Yet in one American city patients have begun to
flock to the hospitals with smallpox, diphtheria, and all the
other enemies that were supposed to have been defeated forever,
plunging the over-populated city into an epidemic of death,
violence, and destruction...."

"Yarbro has a fine way with the wicked and a clean, terse style ...
a versatile and distinctive talent." -- Kirkus Review

"Her writing flashes with a dark and bloody vividness." --
Publishers Weekly

250 pages you will *not* put down. -- Lum Johnson

(Speaking of verbose, could someone condense Tucker's argument?
Should run about 2500 words after it's cut...  I stopped following
(er, trying to follow) it after about episode three.  Wotta mouf!)
