Nadjik Pheromone

by Michael Hemp

Overview

This a novel of global intrigue and betrayal to prevent the destruction of a (real) "SCI" GC-MS forensic breath analysis lie detection technology.
War correspondent Michael Wolfson’s passion to end torture, genocide, and crimes against humanity leads to a scientific revolution in lie detection technology that must survive attempted destruction by powerful secret, government, corporate and underworld organizations.
Human behavior based on scientifically verifiable truth sounds good, but not to the array of powerful and desperate adversaries any such truth science would face—for whom it would spell the end of secrecy, illicit power and influence, the fruits of corruption, violence, and crimes against humanity. Starting in Washington, DC.

Editorial Reviews

A book that I couldn't put down until I finished it. The characters and the settings are exciting and the story even more so. A fascinating story about humanity and the pursuit of truth at all costs. Is this world ready for the truth? I'm almost afraid to find out. The book begs the question and also demands an answer. If we had the truth, could we handle it? A book asking for a movie to be made of it. Simply terrific.

The book takes place in the very near future. In many ways it is like many of the books by Michael Crichton (The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, etc.). That is, it involves science that is either right on the cutting edge or very likely to be possible in the very near future. Also like Crichton, the characters are interesting and three dimensional, the plot though intricate is believable, and there are also very interesting subplots.

A thrilling, cannot-put-the book-down spy novel with a little chemistry and science.

Lou Rigali

Truth, what a "novel" concept. It's amazing what exhaled breath reveals. This spy thriller will keep you interested as Wolf travels around the world in his relentless pursuit of truth. You cannot turn the pages fast enough, but do—and absorb all the subtle nuances and relationships that appear, disappear, and reappear right up to the end. An amazing read. Hollywood, want a sure thing? Here it is.
