RetailHow does a man, living on borrowed time, correct nearly a century of suppression, threats, litigation, treachery, and murder all having one sole aim: to ensure conventional medicine remains an extremely lucrative business? Anthony Cain will be dead soon; he knows it and so does Elwood, the man contracted to find and bring him back — dead or alive. But before he dies, Cain is desperate to put an end to the unforgivable wrongs of the corporation he worked for. While it’s true young Joshua Costello’s no little angel; and it’s also true he’s given his mother, Erin, a fair share of problems recently; she knows her son is not just another runaway — despite what the LAPD think. She’s sure there’s something more sinister involved; and she’s also sure there’s only one man who can help to find him — Michael Malone. In a cleverly contrived plot, the reader meets some memorable characters, learns about the dark history of alternative medicine’s suppression, all while being led through a number of interwoven kidnap situations that bring us up to date with Michael Malone and his associates we first met in the earlier book. All in all, a real page-turner with an important story to tell.** Views: 24

Heuler’ s stories dart out at what the world is doing and centre on how the individual copes with it. Anything is possible: people breed dogs with humans to create a servant class; beneath one great city lies another city, running it surreptitiously; an employee finds that her hair has been stolen by someone intent on getting her job; strange fish fall from trees and birds talk too much; a boy tries to figure out what he can get when the Rapture leaves good stuff behind. Everything is familiar; everything is different. Behind it all, is there some strange kind of design or merely just the chance to adapt? In Heuler’ s stories, characters cope with the strange without thinking it’ s strange, sometimes invested in what’ s going on, sometimes trapped by it, but always finding their own way in. Views: 24
