Description:
Dr. Brandon Kiefer’s wife mysteriously vanishes. A month later, she inexplicably returns home leading to unanswered questions as to why she deserted the world class scientist. The rising tension between them triggers flashbacks from his childhood days when he barely escaped his father’s murderous rampage. Troubled by his failure to save his younger sister, when he was a ten year old boy, Brandon becomes increasingly obsessed with protecting his closest friends.
On the verge of developing the greatest scientific innovation of the 21st century-- the discovery of a medicine to extend the human life span, Kiefer becomes the target in a covert war of international espionage. Will his friends come to his rescue and will those opposed to his controversial genetic intervention join hostile forces to prevent his treatment from becoming available to the public? If he is killed, while being hunted down, the secrets of Project Immortality will be lost forever.

In Rome, Bishop Peter Shuls, the Cardinal's mentor and a conniving insider, enlists the help of the evil organization, The Health Club, to ensure that his personal choice becomes the next leader of over one billion of the faithful. If the Cardinal refuses to unveil the untreated mental illness that has led to the death of the innocent, will Rogers become the next victim?

Hi AndreaI was inspired by the poem on your site
"Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room --
others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom;
others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;
others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;
others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?”
William Arthur Ward
I wrote my medical thriller as a novel that hopefully will be inspiring and thought provoking. Its called TERMINAL NEGLECT. Please visit my website at www.michaelrushnakbooks.com
One of my favorite quotes is by Edmund Burke "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Thanks for becoming a friend. As a new author, it is my hope to have good authors read my work and to learn from them. I am looking forward to reading your novel soon.
