Blurb

The gripping new book from the author of The Algorithm Will See You Now . Based on the true-life rationing of kidney dialysis in 1960s America, a medical intern in 1992 Seattle tries to leave his painful past behind, only to uncover a shocking truth of thirty years prior and the lasting, generational harm of hidden secrets... After a co-intern dies by suicide, a grieving Noah Meier commits an accidental error. In a desperate move to save his patient's life, he covertly seeks help from audacious surgical resident Marah Maddox, igniting a bond between them. When the hospital is suspiciously quick to sweep everything under the rug, Noah turns to his late father's journal for guidance and makes a chilling discovery, all while trying to stay out of the crosshairs of abusive Dr. Rankel, keen to make an example of Noah. Worse, Rankel clearly has it out for Marah as the only woman in her program. As the hospital's patriarchal power structures, and the truth about his father's past, threaten Noah and Marah's burgeoning relationship, Noah will have to shoulder his father's devastating legacy or create his own daring future. The latest sensational page-turner from physician-author JL Lycette, The Committee Will Kill You Now is a riveting historical suspense about the inner workings of the medical world and the personal struggles of those within it. A thrilling near-historical drama that exposes the dark side of the medical establishment and a must-read for anyone interested in medicine, ethics, and the human struggle for justice.


The Committee Will Kill You Now Book Review

I received the Review Copy of this book and my thanks to the team of BookSirens, the publisher and the author for the copy.

All views expressed in this review are my own and based on my reading of this book. Some of the initial comments were made as I progressed in this book and I have not tried editing them as it expresses my contiguous thoughts as I proceeded with the story.


I have read the author Lycette's earlier book The Algorithm Will See You Now, last year which I had liked.
When this book became available as a review copy, I wanted to read a second book by the author to get a feel of her writing.

This story starts of as a sort of prequel to the above story with the history going back decades from the current, and with the authors own experience as a physician brings her expertise in play to this thrilling novel.

The principal characters are present in this story and the base being a true story is a chilling fact. Noah finds out that his father was responsible for unethical dialysis trials, resulting in the possible deaths of many American patients. The emotional trauma results in a mistake with his current patient and the story surges forward with his own doubts on his role and future as a physician and also the backlash of a possible patient death and the hospital also pushing another case to his door.

Medical ethics and the extreme pressures that physicians have to endure in the line of duty and their role as part of the administration are all questioned by the author.
The characters are endearing and the story is crisp, with a medical backdrop is a fantastic story.
Loved the story.
I will be following the authors books in the future, she is now a part of my favorite authors list.

James Bond 007, Vol. 1 by Greg Pak  More 3.5 than 4 but an entertaining graphic novel. This is a great Bond novel and very much like the Bond of old, cynical, sexy and borderline insane. The introduction of diversity acceptable cast comes in the form of M and Moneypenny both people of color. This story takes a new road with an Oddjob wannabe entering the action as a sleek action driven character who upstages Bond with his finesse. This glimpse takes the mind towar

Manga Classics: The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas - Review on NetGalley

An auspicious start as this is the first book that I am reviewing on NetGalley after procrastinating for nearly a month. A 178 year old blockbuster Alexander Dumas classic full length novel converted to manga format seemed incredible and when I saw this available here in NetGalley, I just had to have a peek. Not just a peek, have had a full read and am thankful to NetGalley for making this book available for review.  The Count of Monte Cristo has been one of my favorite classics and I have had the privilege of reading it in many formats, the classic novel, short condensed edition, comics, illustrated editions, meant for adults, teens and schools. Even then I was not very confident that the book would come out well as a manga.  The book was quite a revelation with crisp artwork and well edited to include all major key points of the book.  An elaborate revenge drama, the story at many levels is a bit dated but nothing can jade the elaborate set pieces and the way the story pumps up with
