Description
The infection wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. The treatment was supposed to take care of it, but it didn't. Then Dr. Josh Pearson discovers why--his patients, including the former President of the United States, have been dosed with a different strain of the original virus, one that is universally fatal.

Pressure-packed Medical Mystery...
A dead doctor, a very sick ex-president Madison who swears everyone to secrecy about his condition, a virtually unknown virus in the Northern Hemisphere...plus a moral decision for Dr. Josh Pearson on whom to treat, if the drug antibody is available-- the
I loved the doctor's eye view in the novel. Describing himself while actually describing a character, Mabry says the person is "concise, without added verbiage." Scenes are presented matter-of-factly, and with the feel of the harried schedule of a doctor. Mabry has a dry wit that gives a little relief to the constant strain of the mystery that tumbles first one way, then another, like a tumbleweed that is caught up in an unruly wind. Indeed, there were plenty of suspects and possibilities presented and I was literally scratching my head as I furiously thumbed pages. This is a great medical mystery and I look forward to the next medical trauma Dr. Mabry can produce.

Richard Mabry will have you turning the pages to keep up with the twisting action in Miracle Drug. This medical drama left me tense as I joined with the characters to find a miracle cure for a rare and deadly bacterial infection. And if that’t not enough, the struggle to survive is complicated by
Josh Pearson is surprised to find himself charged with the care of former President David Madison. But a serious medical emergency turns deadly as Madison and nurse Rachel Moore are infected with the universally fatal Bacillus decimus. As Josh fights time, bureaucratic red-tape, and an elusive supply of an experimental antibiotic, he finds his efforts challenged by the threat of a killer determined to remove Madison from the international stage.
Miracle Drug left me holding my breath! I could feel my shoulders tense as I entered into the engrossing plot. The race against the clock and the murder conspiracy had me rooting for Josh and the other medical personnel while suspecting any and all involved with President Madison. The twists and turns kept me on my toes and the pages flying. Mabry also includes a strong faith message of relying on and trusting in God no matter the circumstances and the impact that has on those around us. The characters’ varying levels of belief and resulting attitudes are realistically portrayed.
A quick read, Miracle Drug is just what the doctor ordered for fans of medical suspense.
Recommended.
Audience: adults.

I just finished Dr. Mabry’s Miracle Drug and you need to know that not all is revealed until the last page is turned.
How do you choose who lives? The man you have committed to save, a former President and World leader, or the woman who has finally reopened the door to your heart and you finally
How the treachery and deceiving evolves throughout the book, and you never know who or whom you can trust and maybe they were also involved. What it all comes down to is the almighty dollar, and what length these people will go to achieve their goals.
The author tells you at the end that there is no such disease or drug, but could there be? Could people actually ransom a curing drug and if you don’t have a large sum of money you die?
I loved the faith of some of these characters, how willing would you be to give your supply of a drug that would save your life to another? Yet, we have a nurse, who knows the Lord and is willing to let the former President have her supply, she knows where she will be going when she dies.
Come and enjoy an unforgettable read, you won’t be able to put it down and it will have you riveted to each page as you discover who to trust and where you went wrong.
