George Hamilton’s storytelling career began as a child when he pretended to be a radio so that he could tell adventure stories to his brothers (they couldn’t always find the turn off switch). This continued with him being one of the winners of a primary school story writing competition, which meant that he was one of those chosen to go to the British Library to select books for the school’s library. Today, George likes to write cross-genre fiction that currently includes history, suspense, drama, and dystopian, and that delves into the cultures of some of the countries that he has visited.

A deadly virus is sweeping the world, killing millions and there is no treatment or cure…or is there? A small country in Eastern Europe has developed a vaccine that both cures and treats the virus but the country’s president prefers to keep the serum secret. Dr. Ludmilla Toropov has always been loyal to the president-for-life, Emile Sakovich, while her daughter is a member of the student dissidents. She had always been loyal until she began discovering the lies. Three percent of the people taking the vaccine died. The government was willing to allow the rest of the world to die. Ludmilla smuggled one vial of the serum out of the country and into the hands of the Americans. Now the government considers her a traitor.
Author George Hamilton offers readers a great read in this book. I’ve always loved medical thrillers and this one is that and more. There are twists and turns, conspiracies, political intrigue, genocide, and the love of a mother for her daughter. Both Ludmilla and her daughter Olga exhibit a great strength, loyalty, and intelligence. Although at times they seemed to be working for opposing factions, they never stopped loving each other. It was also refreshing to see how Olga cared for her grandmother. A lot is to be learned from this book. The first lesson is that everything comes with a price. Papa President seemed to be good and loving because he was “giving and providing” for the orphaned children: in return he wanted their undying loyalty no matter what. The problems of a socialist government are clearly demonstrated in this tale. This is a great read and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
