Summary: action-packed medical thriller
Comment: Dr. Matt Rutledge obviously knows something is wrong in his hometown of Belinda, West Virginia when several of his patients in for not much more than a cold suddenly die with strange symptoms. He believes that the Belinda Coal and Coke Company has poisoned the air, land, or water or a combination of all three with their usual disregard for safety or environmental health. Matt detests the coal company because their practices led to the death of his father, an employee of Belinda Coal and Coke.
Matt digs deeper into why intelligent people are suddenly babbling and have unsightly lumps on their bodies. He learns that former Belinda residents also have died from the same mysterious ailment. He soon finds out that while he practiced medicine elsewhere, his hometown was the test site of a supervaccine whose consequences are starting to appear. That elixir is about to be approved for use across the country; a few deaths in backwater West Virginia is not enough to stop Omnivax from reaching the marketplace.
Michael Palmer is a sure shot (no pun intended) to have his tenth New York Times best seller with the action-packed FATAL. The story line never slows down from the opening sore throat to the final climax. Readers will admire Matt for his stand against Herculean odds, but what makes him feel real is his deep negative feelings about the coal company. Though the plot seems to go over the edge at times, Mr. Palmer provides a penetrating spot light on America's vaccination program and to a lesser degree the environmental unsafe at any speed record.

Summary: The Author of Unusual Destiny Says...
Comment: From M.D. Michael Palmer, a triple dose of terror!
Virginia emergency room doctor Matt Rutledge is convinced the Belinda Cole and Coke mining company is responsible for poisoning his patients. With a little help from some endearingly quirky friends, he sets out to prove it and is shortly dodging bullets.
Boston coroner, Nicki Solari loses her best friend to a bizarre illness and a speeding car. After leaving specific post-autopsy testing instructions, Nicki easily finds her way to Belinda for the funeral, but gets a deadly surprise when she attempts to leave.
A retired Maryland teacher turned child immunization advisor, Ellen Kroft has grave doubts about the safety of a new super vaccine, but before she can testify, she finds herself in front of a goon with an automatic and an unacceptable agenda. Terrified for herself and her family, she follows the trail of the gunman and ends up in -- ready? -- Belinda, Virginia.
What could these three diverse individuals, pursuing three different sets of circumstances, for three wildly varying reasons possibly have in common? The answer comes in a most memorable end convergence that could cost all three their lives.
Michael Palmer has crafted this complex, heart-palpitating mystery with a surgical precision that leaves his readers breathless. Bring on the crash cart!
