The Universal Blood Trial
A Medical Thriller

About this book:

When a synthetic blood substitute saves a dying trauma patient in seconds, Dr. Marcus Vance calls it a miracle. By the second rescue, he calls it a pattern. By the third—when a young teacher's urine turns the color of tea and his monitors lie—he calls it murder.

PolyHeme-X carries oxygen like nothing on earth. It needs no typing, no refrigeration, no donors. It also scavenges nitric oxide, clamping down every micro-vessel in the body while corporate software rewrites the safety data in real time. Hemoglobe Logistics has the FDA hearing in three weeks, a four-million-dollar grant on the line, and a surgeon who refuses to stop asking why his patients' kidneys are failing behind perfect vital signs.

Trapped between a corporation that owns the hospital's future and a trial protocol that owns his patients' data, Vance has seventy-two hours to prove the "universal blood" is a death sentence—before the next mass casualty event makes the cover-up permanent.
