Sanguinary Longings

Beschreibung

In wartime France in 1918, Dr. Cole Sterling of the American Expeditionary Force is mortally wounded by a renegade German officer. Cole miraculously recovers from his wounds after receiving a small blood transfusion from a mysterious French woman, Aurora. Cole learns that his career as a surgeon is finished because he can no longer tolerate sunlight exposure or the bright lights of the operating theater. His anger at the destruction of his prior life is not diminished by the recognition of newly acquired physical strength and enhanced senses. When he learns that he must drink blood to survive, he is morally anguished and struggles to find the will to live. Aurora assists Cole in realizing that he can still help people as a physician and starts him on the path to becoming a psychiatrist. On a trip to the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920, Cole and Aurora encounter unsavory fellow blood drinkers, including Aurora's ex-husband and his manipulative associate, Baron Werner Gerbold, with life changing impact. Gerbold becomes a recurring, malicious challenge for Cole, who is shocked when he must join forces with Gerbold to help Gerbold escape Nazi Germany with samples of a deadly virus. Please enjoy this exciting tale of adventure, romance, and fantasy!

Autor

A well-trained and successful scientist, Dr. Frazier began his career in science as a graduate student at the Oregon Graduate Center and the California Institute of Technology. After receiving his Ph.D. from Caltech, he participated in research programs at the Institute for Strahlenchemie in the Institute for Kohlenforschung in Germany and at the University of Georgia. As an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, he taught undergraduate and graduate students and developed a productive research program. Later, at the corporate laboratories of Martin Marietta, Dr. Frazier developed an innovative program in nonlinear optical materials. While his years as a research scientist were satisfying, Dr. Frazier's interests were evolving and he decided to attend medical school to transition to the next phase in his career. After medical school and a year as a resident in internal medicine in Baltimore, he trained as a dermatologist at the Gulf South Medical and Surgical Institute in Louisiana, subsequently practicing dermatology in Mississippi and Louisiana. Drawing upon his considerable expertise, he currently excels as the medical director of Frazier DermaSurgery and Aesthetic Dermatology in Knoxville. In addition to his continued enthusiasm for research and medicine, he entertains his life-long passion for literature and has published two novels "Sanguinary Longings" and "Caribbean War: A Sanguinary Longings Novel" within the last two years. The characters in his novels are faced with a rapidly changing, confusing, dangerous world.
