In his latest thriller, Palmer weaves a suspenseful tale about presidential politics, cutting-edge medicine, and nanotechnology. His page-turner centers around Gabe Singleton, a small-town doctor, and Andrew Stoddard, who were both friends and roommates at the Naval Academy in Annapolis years ago. Andrew becomes a war hero and eventually president of the United States. When his physician mysteriously disappears, he asks Gabe to take over the vacant position. After Gabe reluctantly agrees, he discovers that his friend may be going insane but perhaps not by natural causes. Palmer succeeds in keeping the reader on edge as Gabe must figure out how on to proceed while his friend’s life is in jeopardy and the world’s safety may be in danger. Palmer employs fascinating medical details to tell his story, and he consulted a former physician who worked at the White House to help create a convincing political setting.
