About the Book

The book is an action-packed thriller, a roller coaster of a read with a pace that increases throughout and has lots of twists and turns in its cunning plot, climaxing in an explosive and gratifying end, with excitement, love, violence, and scenes of a highly sexual nature. A young scientist believes that she has found the answer to curing the world’s most incurable disease, cancer; however, there are greater forces, higher powers, and very influential people that want to see the cure suppressed and controlled by them. The colorful characters throughout are what make the story the nail-biter it is as they fight to control the cure each for their very different reasons and purpose. Will Claire Blake and her friends survive the frightening ordeals that are to come their way? The story isn’t just a shoot-’em-up, car-chase, espionage, cops-’n’-bad-guys theme; it also touches on terrorism, religion, and many moral viewpoints that are influenced by our world’s governments and holy leaders. An enjoyable read but strictly for adults!
