MADicine
A Bane Thriller, Derek Armstrong
ISBN 9781601640178
"In his follow-up to the excellent The Game (2007), Armstrong takes on a whole new set of challenges....Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways. An ambitious attempt from a writer of abundant talent."Booklist review of Armstrong's Fall 07 release The Last Troubadour.
What happens when an engineered virus, meant to virally "cure" psychopathically violent patents, is let loose by accident on the world? And what chance does the world have when a rescue organization named WART (World Advance Response Team) is our only hope?
A virus of rage sweeps all nations with sometimes funny and sometimes scary results. Armstrong’s latest Bane thriller (after The Game) satirizes in true “Bane-style” the medical virus thriller genre and zombie movies in one suspenseful but amusing sweep. Fans of “brilliance in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways” (Booklist) won’t want to miss this adventure!
Bane and Kenner must “chase” the rampaging virus around the world, from Venice to Hong Kong, hunting for a cure and the cause. Bane realizes the virus may be the work of an old “nemesis" and recruits a team of "angels" -- a mocking salute to Charlie's angels -- to rescue the world. The savvy doctor Kenner, playful pop star Panji, and the eccentric Mystere, a psychic who relies on her tarot cards for answers, are bizarre group of heroes — charming, witty, funny, and memorable.
Half the world have become "zombies of rage." Pharmaceutical giants, world leaders and regular law-enforcement agencies hamper Bane's effort to "cure the world of violence." Don't miss this round-the-world adventure that offers equal measures of satire, thrills, suspense and comedy.
