Blessing or Curse
A Brier Hospital Novel
by
Lawrence W. Gold, M.D.
Sara, a young, previously healthy woman, and a missionary, arrives at Brier Hospital with a rash and low grade fever. In minutes, the rash erupts into destructive skin lesions and Sara goes into shock.
Is this an un-diagnosed deadly disease, or is Sara the victim of a biological weapon?
When the police discover the dead body of a teenage missionary, and Sara's sister, Lori, also a missionary, develops this deadly disease, the use of a biological weapon comes to the fore.
What is it? Who did it? Why did they do it? Can anyone stop it?
This novel brings the reader back to Brier Hospital and a challenge unlike anything seen before.

MY THOUGHTS
The author has brought us another fantastic Brier Hospital story. This one is about a possible biological weapon. But then is it just an infectious disease? No one knows if she is contagious or if they have an epidemic on their hands. The physicians call the CDC to help them find out what is going on. This book is medical fiction but the author gives the reader much to think about. It's not beyond possibility that this could happen for real. Our lives as we know them could be genetically altered and change our lives now and forever. Everyday, even though mankind is extremely intelligent and may think we are ready and able to handle anything the outside world hands us, we are at risk, a terrible risk waiting for evil and good to take up the fight. The book may surprise some, some may think it's a bunch of nonsense, and some may actually find it frightening. Frightening it is. It is the unknown. Never knowing when it may hit, what it is, where did it come from and how to fight it. Many time, people who are in the missionary field or people who visit other countries and even other states, go home with bacterial infections that sometimes end in death. What is going on? Does the government have something to do with this? Is it part of the Biological weapons research here and in other countries? Could a mistake or mistakes been made that they don't know how to handle? Good and evil lurk everywhere, even in our government. True, much good is done but isn't it in the choice of doing good or just doing whatever can be done? A choice always has to be made. But are the right choices being made? Every choice made has it's price and somebody has to pay that price. ALWAYS! Where does mankind's future lie? The author gives the reader a terrifying thriller that will give the reader much to think about and at the same time get another exciting book from the Brier Hospital series. Will Sara and Lori be able to survive? Will they find out what happened to cause this and who was behind it? Don't miss out on this exciting, informational and terrifying book from Lawrence W. Gold, M.D.
