| Publisher Description: Suppose a cure for cancer was finally discovered, a cure that would render much of today's medical and pharmaceutical industry obsolete. How far would the world's movers and shakers go to control--or destroy--this miraculous panacea? Controversial oncologist Dr. Anson Lunt dies in a suspicious plane crash just as one of his researchers develops what appears to be a "magic bullet" against all forms of cancer. Powerful forces are conspiring to seize control of the top-secret cure, either to reap the riches at stake or to suppress the discovery entirely. Industrial espionage, blackmail, and murder are only a few of the ruthless strategies employed in the no-holds-barred battle for the cure. A gripping tale of cutting-edge medicine and international intrigue, The Cure exposes the dark underside of the modern medical establishment. |
