It is 2053. We are halfway into the bioengineering century.
Miraculous medical advances have extended life spans for some but
the correlation between health and wealth, existing even at the
turn of the century, has become so extreme that many in the United
States cannot afford full medical coverage. Periodic terrorist
attacks are the aftermath of three wars in the Middle East. These
problems and others have poisoned the body politic. A small group
of well-meaning government and industry leaders, who believed they
had the right answers to these problems, came together twenty years
earlier to ensure that they would stay in power as long as
possible. This novel is about how that plan goes terribly wrong.
The plan starts unraveling when three young people escape from a
secret government laboratory. One makes it all the way to the
Philippines. The other two do not even get out of the country. All
three are young look-alikes of important public figures. The
cover-up begins with a murder in Maryland. An e-zine crime
reporter, a Boston cop, and an expert in transplant rejection come
together to solve the mystery. As the maelstrom sucks them in, it
is not clear which government agency can be trusted nor how high
the conspiracy goes.In "Full Medical" the reader is introduced to a
frightening future world that is extrapolated from today's post
9/11 events.
