How far would a father go to save his dying daughter? Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta . . . Omicron . . . Greek letters that have plummeted our world into chaos and tragedy. Dr. Mark and Sarah Spencer are the proud parents of baby June, now four months old, born during the pandemic. The deadly Delta wave is waning, but there is a new variant on the horizon, the ferociously contagious Omicron that has a mortal predilection for infants. Somehow, despite every conceivable precaution, June has it and is quickly spiralling downhill. Thanks to his father's research, Mark has spent the last year developing a drug that could cure not only Covid but all viral diseases, potentially changing a world on the verge of lockdown implosion. His team is close, so close, however, the well of their special ingredient has run dry, thanks to supply chain disruption. But an alternate source has been found in Central America at a location known only by one man. Mark embarks on a transcontinental journey to beat the clock and save his daughter. There's a catch: A billion-dollar industry, Big Pharma, that wants to stop him. Using every conceivable manner of transportation, Mark and his two friends will risk everything to save his daughter. Wouldn't you? Join Dr. Spencer as he struggles through the pandemic landscape for a third time in A Covid Odyssey - Variant Reset.
Autorenporträt
It all began with storytelling. A suspenseful campfire story with kids on the edge of their seats. A story in the operating room to pass the time while closing an incision (remember Hawkeye from MASH?). A story at the dinner table with the family gathered or maybe a story out on the deck with my wife, Andrea, watching the sunset with a perfect glass of wine. Most of all though, it was the bed time stories gently nudging my children, Emily and Charlie, off to sleep. These stories slowly morphed into a series of middle grade illustrated books, and that's when I really got the writing bug! I was born in Montreal and attended McGill University for thirteen years, completing degrees in Physiotherapy, Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery. I joined the military (Naval Reserves) when I was 17 and very much enjoyed having a good chunk of my education (not to mention many exhilarating adventures on the high seas) paid for by the Canadian government. I now live with my wife and two kids in the small town of Sault Ste. Marie in Northern Ontario, cresting the shorelines of beautiful Lake Superior, where I run a busy surgical and academic practice with writing time divided between scientific publications and novels.
