BROKEN CURE

Critical care specialist, Alex Winthrop M.D. starts a typical day making rounds in the ICU at Rhode Island General, when he is called to help a patient in cardiac arrest. Alex is puzzled by the dying man’s test results. Soon, a pattern emerges that spurs him on to dig deeper despite resistance from the hospital’s CEO, Ted Beaumont. Beaumont’s only concern is avoiding bad press, but that should be the least of his worries.
In the midst of his investigation, personal tragedy strikes, catapulting Alex into a lonely downward spiral where addiction and an unlikely lover fill the void. He is jolted back into focus by a second overwhelming loss. With no job to return to, he devotes himself to finding an explanation for the mounting patient deaths.
Olivia Nillson Ph.D., a renowned biochemist and cellular toxicologist---knows too much. A phone call from Dr. Winthrop entices her to come forward. She joins him on a corrupted path that leads to an international plot involving a cunning biological weapon. Can they expose the conspiracy in time to save more innocent lives? Will anyone listen?

CALL TO THE VOID

Alex Winthrop M.D. and Olivia Nilsson Ph.D. have their long-awaited sabbatical harshly interrupted by Chinese MSS agents on a revenge mission. Extracted by special forces, they’re ordered back to Mount Weather’s secret lab to work on an antidote to BN27, the highly effective antiviral that saved millions. The pandemic has passed but the US is reeling in post-apocalyptic chaos. When the public learns that BN27 causes miscarriage, women riot in the streets, burning research facilities to the ground.

Ex-Stanford molecular biologist, Will Stein Ph.D. sees an opportunity in the mayhem. A way to make his start-up more than an industry leader. Alex and Olivia’s quest for the antidote takes them to Ireland where they are entangled in Stein’s web.. Faced with Stein’s intentions they have no choice. He must be stopped. But how? No one takes the far-fetched threat seriously. Soon, the reality cannot be denied

GOD DUST

What if we discovered the spark that created life only to learn it was forbidden fruit?

Six months ago, Alex Winthrop MD and research scientist Olivia Nilsson Ph.D. were entangled in an international plot that almost got them killed. CIA operatives spared their lives— for a price. In exchange for freedom and silence, they must conduct research sanctioned by the DOD. When Alex is assigned to a covert military nanorobotics lab, he wants out. But Olivia is immersed in her work, and her desire to flee has faded. She convinces him to stay.

Their research takes a turn when a co-worker reveals a dusty powder, rumored to accelerate healing. The legend began in Tiptonville, a rural town by the Mississippi River, in 1907. The events surrounding the discovery were buried, hidden away for over a century. Alex and Olivia secretly set out to determine if the claims are true.

Disaster strikes when a bioengineered virus tears across the globe. They find themselves in the crosshairs, torn between morality and medical duty. Should they reveal their startling, unsanctioned research? The dust may be their only salvation—or their damnation. Will mankind survive being saved?
