What reading level is The Scarlet Plague book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By Thursday thepeople were dying so rapidly that their corpses could not be handled, and dead bodies lay everywhere. Thursday night the panic outrush forthe country began. Imagine, my grandsons, people, thicker than thesalmon-run you have seen on the Sacramento river, pouring out of thecities by millions, madly over the country, in vain attempt to escapethe ubiquitous death. You see, they carried the germs with them. Eventhe airships of the rich, fleeing for mountain and desert fastnesses, carr...ied the germs.
"Hundreds of these airships escaped to Hawaii, and not only did theybring the plague with them, but they found the plague already therebefore them. This we learned, by the despatches, until all order in SanFrancisco vanished, and there were no operators left at their posts toreceive or send. It was amazing, astounding, this loss of communicationwith the world. It was exactly as if the world had ceased, been blottedout. For sixty years that world has no longer existed for me. I knowthere must be such places as New York, Europe, Asia, and Africa; but notone word has been heard of them--not in sixty years.
