When the potential cure is located in the blood of a solitary boy, ethical distinctions and medical research protocol can seem like stumbling blocks. Taylor Peterson, source of the possibly miraculous blood, feels alternately like he is being hounded by vampires and as though his very existence is up for grabs by the highest bidder...whether he likes it or not.
Long-time fans of Neiderman will thrill to THE MAGIC BULLET as he continues in his decades-long tradition as an expert weaver of suspense. As well as crafting a riveting tale about the medical "what if" of a cure for cancer, Neiderman also provides authentic tribute to the potential ethical questions of those embroiled in the situation. His characters are multi-faceted and rich; even seemingly stock characters have depth and layers within their machinations. THE MAGIC BULLET is well-worth the time, particularly for readers who enjoy medical thrillers.
