"When people are dying, it's easier sometimes. You can be all-powerful-even heroic. You don't have to think about how much courage it takes to dwell among the living, to fight for your own life. Lots of caregivers get addicted that way." When a category five hurricane threatens a Galveston hospital, patients and nonessential personnel are required to evacuate. Doctors Danica Diza and Shaka Sen, a chief family medicine resident and a surgical attending respectively, are tapped, along with a skeleton crew, to stay during the storm and care for remaining patients. Their facade of confidence is shattered, however, when the hospital's inhabitants are exposed to a weaponized strain of a virus with a forty percent death rate. Forced into quarantine, they must struggle to survive the ravages of the hurricane, a shortage of supplies, and the virus that threatens them all. Written by physician and debut author Dimple Desai, this striking medical thriller provokes readers to consider the dangerous trends happening in our world today and the global changes needed to abate them.
Autorenporträt
Dimple Patel Desai has been a lifelong storyteller. Though her writing debuted during resident training in medical journals and a book chapter, her true passion lies in fiction. She has drawn deeply from her background as a family physician and scientist to bring The Lambda Factor to life. Dimple completed all of her medical training in Galveston, Texas, and has lived in both Texas and Florida, experiencing several hurricanes along the way. After residency, she personally assisted in disaster recovery efforts at the Dallas Medical Society Mega shelter in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey, and in Puerto Rico in 2017 after Hurricane Irma. She is truly passionate about bringing awareness to a broader audience-from a health care standpoint-about the complexities that transpire during a crisis.
