Book Description
Vatican Inspector Domenico Conti is called to St. Paul's Basilica in Rome the morning after a break-in that leaves the sarcophagus empty and its guard dead. Conti is told to find the perpetrators but, more importantly, to recover the contents of the tomb. Dr. Dana McCarter, newly appointed director of the Advanced Institute for the Study of Antiquity at NYU, has her own secrets. Her groundbreaking work on the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle was cause for her appointment to head the billion dollar initiative to unearth the secret roots of Western civilization. What no one suspects is that her success is based on an addiction to illegal trafficking in black market manuscripts. When a mysterious stranger gives Dana a tantalizing glimpse of a truly surprising scroll, she becomes obsessed with tracking down its source. Conti follows the trail of deceit to Dana's doorstep and the two form an unlikely team, each with their own motives for recovering the scrolls, which turn out to be five of Aristotle's lost dialogues. In their batle for the scrolls, Conti and Dana must confront their own demons as well as two powerfully evil forces:the Dionysian cultists who want to keep the scrolls hidden and the Muslim jihadists who want to reveal them in order to discredit Chritianity once and for all.

Book Description
Black Market Medicine A must read for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in the U.S. Only a novel so far, John Macklin's story could be yours as a future caregiver. Or you could be cut off from further medical care as your apportionment runs out like Janis. This prescient story carries the reader through a futuristic nightmare where the U.S. Government makes every medical decision for you. Here is an excerpt: Now she knew there was no God. Janis had long been a believer, but no more. Her body had failed her, and so had her God. For three days, she had asked God to take her from this life. Three long torturous days, lled only with the hell of pain so intense she felt at times she must be losing consciousness. The cancer had spread. There was no hope and not the slightest given from Caregiver No. 42. A glass of water, a wet rag on her forehead, even some word of prayer would have been something. She knew they had cut back her allotment of medicine. She had heard that, as late as 2018, there had still been some Wellness Spas that had provided spiritual assistance. Naturally, Janis knew she shouldn't even be thinking such foolish thoughts, but her mother had laid the seed of spiritualism in her many years before. Before the legislation of 2045.

Book Description
In America, in direct response to indefinite delays on the national transplantation waitlists and an inadequate supply of organs, a growing number of terminally ill Americans are turning to international underground markets and coordinators or brokers for organs. Chinese inmates on death-row and the economically disadvantaged in India and Brazil are the often compromised co-participants in the private negotiation process, which occurs outside the legal process - or in the shadows of law. These individuals supply kidneys and other organs for Americans and other Westerners willing to shop and pay in the private process. This book contends that exclusive reliance on the present altruistic tissue and organ procurement processes in the United States is not only rife with problems, but also improvident. The author explores how the altruistic approach leads to a 'black market' of organs being harvested from Third World individuals as well as compelled donations from children and incompetent persons.
