After accepting her dream position in a biotechnology company, Riva Scardini is confronted by secrets surrounding her live-in boyfriend and her fellow employees. As she exposes the secrets she is swept into a world dominated by malevolent individuals with tremendous influence over corrupt politicians, governmental officials, federal agencies, international conglomerates and innocent, or naïve, protestors. Notwithstanding the danger, she formulates a plan to expose the individuals, placing her life in grave peril. Filled with love, passion, danger and justice, this novel shows the absolute, corrupt, power that politicians, governments, the FDA and embedded terrorists posing as benevolent human rights supporters have over the pharmaceutical industry. It paints a frightening picture of what may if good citizens simply sit by and watch the world go by.
John Rogers is a screenwriter, comedian, film producer, and comic book writer. Although born in Worcester, Massachusetts, he attended McGill University in Montreal and is better known publicly as a Canadian writer.
This is a very intensive book about healthcare, the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, outsourcing, terrorism and ultimate revenge. It's a love story about a couple who becomes inadvertently involved in a movement designed to undermine the company in which she works. It's funny, charming, whimsical, realistic and dangerous all at the same time and the ending is excellent. A great read for the summer.
