A Surgeon's Peril

Million-selling author Craig Martelle partners with world-renowned surgeon James Toouli to spin a tale of intrigue and danger, of rapid-fire decisions and actions. Patient zero brings something new. A disease that looks like malaria but is aerosolized. It delivered death in the most horrible way-through an enlarged and then ruptured spleen. Surgery is the only answer, and there's only one doctor who can perform the necessary operation because the hospital is in quarantine. The first death suggests it could spin out of control quickly. What happens when an old nemesis shows up to exact revenge while the doctors are fighting a bacteria-sized enemy? Chip McClure and his surgical team are the target of salvation, angst, and retribution. The cases are stacking up. Go forward under the watchful eye of a criminal or negotiate a way out? Anything and everything is on the table to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible without losing more patients. Time is the constant enemy and it's slipping away like sand through their fingers. A medical thriller by International Bestselling Author Craig Martelle and James Toouli A.M., B(Med)Sci, MBBS, PhD FRACS. I'm retired from the Marine Corps, spending time both as enlisted and as an officer. Then I went to law school, took my law degree into business consulting where I became a business diagnostics specialist and leadership coach. I retired from that at age 52 because I was away from home way too much. That's when I started writing full time, and I have not looked back since. This is a great ride! I have a variety of stories now since I've been at this for a little while, lots of short stories so you can see if you like my style. I have a number of best selling novels in categories that matter to me - space opera, military scifi, Space Marine, colonization, and genetic engineering. As a serial daydreamer, it's nice to finally get the stories on paper (virtual and digital paper, that is).Visit my web page, craigmartelle.com for the latest posts and updates or find me on Facebook, Author Craig Martelle.
