THE DRUID STONE

The High Priest hologram spirit of Stonehenge follows NY Times reporter Morgan Kane after a short UK tour. Kane and Library of Congress worker Martha Sorel are united as terrorists try a media intimidation to set the United Nations into two camps. The U.S. president does not want to see a world divided into pro-and con-terrorist country identification. It would define an Ally-Axis stance and set up conditions for WW III. Iran does want this and aims its deadly “test” missile at DC to force even Islamic countries to take a terrorist stand or perish.

Holthar the high priest of Stonehenge appears to Kane and Sorel to use the only weapon that can save civilization–the power of light. Kane learns about the individual light spectra which can counter his enemies. Light emerges from his palms and eyes as rays of red, orange, green or yellow and each with a specific effect. Kane must reach Tehran to thwart its missile launch and finds an even more intense plot afoot. Only his role as the Chosen Templar of the Druid can save civilization if he doesn’t get killed as ordinary human Morgan Kane.
 

About Peter Glassman

As a baby boomer and retired physician I'm devoting my time to writing medical thrillers. My life as an author of fiction began in 2003 after several individuals consistently commented that my speeches delivered at Toastmasters International always captured the audience because they were presented as captivating stories regardless of the topic. "I should write a book" they all said. My wife encouraged me because she was sick of listening to me rehearsing my speeches.

"What should I write about?" I asked of my supportive spouse.

"Write about your patient from the Navy who brought back a bottle full of human eyes from Vietnam."

Thus began my string of medical thrillers starting with THE EYEMAN. The sequel to THE EYEMAN, THE DUTY CREW, chronicles the last Christmas Day of the Vietnam War in a Northeast Naval hospital. Like all my novels true lifetime situations is interwoven with suspenseful and intriguing storylines.

I spent most of my life in Massachusetts and schooling leading up to both an MD and PhD in medicine and directed medical research for the last 20 years of my healthcare career with drug development in major pharmaceutical companies.

I've always been caught up in history and my medical thriller COTTER attests to historical fact both in medicine and family life in the struggling Post-Civil War years 1868-1872.

I believe literature should be educational, fun, serious, full of feelings and always with a touch of fantasy. We're all part dreamers. When Dr. Mathew Collins returns from Afghanistan military service his life encompasses all these elements in THE HELIOS RAIN. A similar experience but on a different motif was blended in my medical thriller surrounding a possible cure for Muscular Dystrophy in THE MYOSIN FACTOR. Ever want to reveal the bad side of an employment experience? My years in the pharmaceutical industry witnessed sabotage and some drugs with unacceptable side effects pressured by upper management to sneak by the FDA. THE ADJUSTMENT CLINIC fictionalizes two of these real-life based situations.

I live in San Antonio, Texas spending 5-hours a day on new writing, working with editors and trying to promote my e-books. Encouraging my 8 grandchildren to read and write is as much fun as my own writing efforts. It's my hope that the reading public will experience the joys and realities of life through my novels.
