Gary Erakleous’ new book “Chrysalis” is a thrilling novel about science, technology, and drama, a galvanizing opus on meandering circumstances revolving around people caught in a rivalry for power and recognition. “Chrysalis”: a riveting journey of action and emotional turmoil among colleagues in the medical field.
When a molecular biologist discovers a miraculous vaccine, the pharmaceutical industry is eager to get hold of it, but when he refuses to reveal the elements of his formula, all hell breaks loose . . .
Vincent, an idealistic, unassuming research scientist, together with his bright assistant, Dorothy, discover a vaccine that when injected into the human body heals any wounded organ. He tests the vaccine for the first time on a teenager, Lucas, Dorothy’s son, after a terrible car accident, and Lucas begins to recover. Vincent’s rival, Kushner, the materialistic and greedy director of a pharmaceutical company, kidnaps Lucas in a desperate attempt to find the components of the vaccine and produce it.
Vincent and Dorothy accuse Kushner of the kidnapping because of the rivalry that exists between them. Unfortunately for them, the kidnapping was executed in such a cunning way that they cannot prove their suspicions to the police. On the contrary, the police suspects Vincent of experimenting with the vaccine and causing Lucas’s death. It falls upon Vincent’s and Dorothy’s shoulders to prove their innocence, but above all to find Lucas before Kushner wipes him out after he is done with the experiments.
The plot is teeming with twists and turns, a gripping series of events and an emotional outpouring of grief and courage from a mother who struggles against a well-organized criminal conspiracy to save her son.
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Gary Erakleous’ new book is sure to captivate the interest of readers and fill their minds with excitement and anticipation.
