"A long out-of-print novel about a deadly virus by Stanley Johnson, the father
of UK prime minister Boris Johnson, is to be reissued this summer, two weeks
after it emerged that he was trying to find it a new publisher during the
coronavirus pandemic.
Having been pitched to UK publishers as “an urgent, exhilarating novel” by “a
tireless self-promoter”, Johnson senior’s 1982 novel The Virus has been snapped
up by Black Spring, an imprint of Eyewear Press, an independent publisher
founded by poet Todd Swift. Originally titled The Marburg Virus, the novel
follows an epidemiologist who must race against time to develop a vaccine when
an unknown virus breaks out in New York. Based on a real event in Germany in
the late 1960s, it also stars a US president desperate to come out on top."
