Cardiac surgeon Alex Simms, M.D., battles a malicious attack and travels an apocalyptic journey through the dangerous adversarial process of sham peer review. This four-part novel begins with an examination of federal, state, and local peer review laws and how they work, often to the disadvantage of those under review. While the panel members were granted immunity, Dr. Simms could only find himself looking at a bleak future for his medical career. But beyond the lives of doctors, hospitals and medical laws lies a fascinating journey, explored in part four, describing a series of cataclysmic events in history and lore that at some point and time began as an actual peer review gone awry. The end results are astonishing, undeniably explicit, and decidedly true, and will leave you shocked beyond belief. Immunity is a double-edged sword and cuts both ways. John Opie's published novels include The Medusa Papers, Firebase Gecko, and Nazi Treasure, with more thrilling works underway. His next novel, Scorpion Sanction, details the underlying danger of oil terrorism in Saudi Arabia.
