Page turner. No P.C. You will either love it or hate it, but you will definitely not be bored! The book was written before A.I. The author had actually worked in the field he wrote about. Hadrian is a junior cancer scientist who is diagnosed with brain cancer and given one year to live. He knows that a miracle drug is not coming any time soon, so he decides to speed up drug discovery process by shocking the corrupt system. He kills the director of the Price Harry Cancer Research Center in Toronto where he works. The center is a monster consuming huge amount of funds while providing little, if any, benefit to the hopeful donors and patients. Since Hadrian has nothing to lose, he decides that it is better to use that last year to bring a positive change to the world, even through murder that he tries to justify. He is an intelligent person and a compulsive thinker. The book is full of thoughts on all subjects Hadrian encounters during the process of planning and executing the murder. Even though readers will be presented with a lot of info, the book is not boring. Readers should decide prior to opening these pages whether they prefer a cheerful-fluffy-politically-correct text or the content found here. To make this novel easier to read, "heavy" chapters are counterbalanced with some life issues we can all relate to.
