SOLVED: _Archangel_ by Mike ConnerI read the back of this in a bookstore, and didn't get the book (out of $$$) - came back next time, and someone else had snatched it.Back cover blurb was that African (Americans?) were immune to this deadly/fatal disease, and kinda a slap in the face to the 'superior race' bigots. But, I think it was based on the flu epidemic after WWI, instead of WWII/Hitler-type race eugenics. In any case, this disease is really doing a number on the world, and not going away (maybe it was AIDs like?, but not solely sex-transmitted)I believe one of the main protags is a white reporter.It may, or may not have been based mostly in the US. It could've included most of the Western World.It was also not a familiar (big) name author, iirc.I've not exhausted my search powers on this one - but I also can't think of anything really distinctive to search on, either.
