In this stunning work of contemporary fiction, Chevalier has
succeeded in illuminating one of the unspeakable tragedies of our
age: the exploitation of illness. Rendering the depravity and
misfeasance of our modern-day temples of medicine with scholarly
aplomb, the gripping narrative in "Sarcophagus" chronicles the
journey of an inspired physician and an intrepid biophysicist as
they strive against all odds to develop the world's first effective
targeted, injectable gene delivery system-the coveted holy grail of
genetic medicine.
It is a time in history when terminal cancer patients languish
on the chain while medical institutions, academic research centers,
and giant pharmaceutical companies struggle in unison against the
emerging tide of genetic medicine in a misguided effort to maintain
the authority and applications of their loathsome poisonous
treatments.
Written with the passion of a patient advocate and the
omniscience of an astute insider, and set against the bleak and
timely backdrop of clinical pathos, "Sarcophagus" is a compelling
journey of discovery and descent into the netherworld of modern
medicine as it stands poised at the threshold of history.
