The Scarlet Plague, by Jack London.
Read by James Christopher.

Known mainly for his tales of adventure, this work of science fiction by
Jack London is set in a post-apocalyptic future.

It's 2072, sixty years after the scarlet plague has depopulated the planet.
James Howard Smith is one of the few survivors of the pre-plague era left
alive in the San Francisco area, and as he realizes his time grows short,
he tries to impart the value of knowledge and wisdom to his grandsons.
Through his narrative, we learn how the plague spread throughout the world
and of the struggles of the handful of survivors it left in its wake.

The Scarlet Plague was originally published in London Magazine in 1912.
