Dissection 

Doctors and medical students learn that dissection is an important part of learning the internal structures of animals and how tissues and organs are related. Imagine if a device a chip could be used to detect whether you were going to have a stroke or heart attack . Each of the victims you will meet have one thing in common, they received a card announcing that “ Your heart attack will arrive within one hour ! “ Just before their attack. The cause and the catalyst behind the attacks and how and why they happened is the work of Dr. Silvana Moretti a brilliant research scientist. The reason harboring a grudge against all the victims. But something about her demeanor and the way she admits what she’s done bothers Steve Leeds and her and PI Miner form an alliance to find out the truth. 

Silvan a is a biophysicist and very smart. But when the CEO of the hospital received a card stating his heart attack will arrive in one hour what is set in motion is shocking. Added in the first attack of Dr. Nirula the doctor responsible for the death of Silvana’s brother, because the chip created by her caused the attacks but how? It hit the CEO’s daughter too affected because she touched the chip. Coronary dissections, coronoid dissections and aortic would be next. She is an expert in ultrasound and her device detects arterial injuries and measures the frequency of vibrations. Healthy arteries vibrate at certain frequencies but with inflammation the vibrations change. The purpose of her device is to detect early inflammation of arteries and predicts imminent heart attack or strokes. She continues to elaborate as to how the device might have saved her brother, but the hospital would not use it not FDA approved. 

Events escalated and Dr.  Leeds joins forces with Miner to uncover who sent the cards, learn more about the death of the Chief of Staff of the body and why so many in the FDA team are targets including Miner. Three types of dissections each that could terminate a life, but some were saved but not all. Why was Silvana taking the hit and where is her daughter ? 

The conspiracy is within the government as a young child helps to uncover a secret that surrounds his father’s murder. A kidnapping and a letter and an email that set it in motion as the Chief of staff had to pick the designated survivor in case something happens to the president and the Vice President plus those in the order of succession. Why the choice and why kill him? Was it to stop him from telling? 

Miner and the FBI agent form alliance but Miner wants to be on the security detail to protect this person and Silvana holds the key but a doctor the solution. We learn about her daughter and that she’s been taken as we meet the terrorists and hope to uncover more. Author Dr.LePort created a spine-tingling frightening plot that is filled with heart attack, strokes and aortic dissections and more. International fear, constitutional deception, emergency medical horrors and political intrigue and catastrophic events with dire consequences. 

Kirk and Mulville had to decide how to proceed and where the football or the biscuit that was needed to run the code and stop a nuclear war was. Which Secretary would now be the designated survivor now that the one that was picked died. The President, Vice President and those in the line of succession were practically all gone and who would they be up to? The Secretary of Energy’s first alliance was where? Mulville had to explain and convince the director of the gravity of the situation and take away the privilege to be the designated survivor for the first time. He did not take it seriously and did not realize how many would die if something was not done and Moretti was not able to use her desire to save lives even though she was in jail. Then Miner goes undercover but will he have backup and just how will he survive? Lives are at stake, bodies will fall, the terrorists need to be stopped but in the end what Miner learns from Dr. Emerson and what exactly her and Silvana were created will shock you. He needed to create a foam that would help him and keep him from the frequency the foal blocks depend on the size of the bubble. How they manage to do his is a wonder and how the author created this shield to protect him a medical wonder. Just where is her daughter, will she finally work with Mulville and the rest of the team including she blamed for her brother’s death?
Lives are at stake. A nuclear war is imminent and the only ones that could stop it are the newly at least for a while President, Mulville as acting FBI director, Miner is he survives and Silvana if she can use her devise to save lives. Will she?

The real drama occurs when the meeting beings, The deputy Sergeant of Arms addressed the Hose speaker announce the VP and members of the senator who entered. But what happens next is horrifying, the pilot had addressed Kirk directly and we realize he was part of the plot and the speaker waiting until the noise died down and introduced the President. But a recording enter the mix and it sates Your aortic dissection will occur in one hour. Is this true and if so how can it be stopped? How would they get Silvana to be on their team and help using her device to save lives? 

Where is the nuclear football and how will they locate it? When she tells the truth you won’t believe how the terrorists bot her ID card and go to her instruments the night to program the devices and they researched her brother’s case and made it seem as if she was sending the tan cards. Her device she states could help the exposure can be different depending on the angle of the probe. Her invention is to detect arterial injury and can help to tell who is at immediate risk of rupture and needs immediate surgery or who can wait.

Chapter 30 is scary as there are many who wind up needed Aortic dissections but how many can be save and what caused it? Just who was presenting to be FBI and who was corrupt on the team? The final scenes are terrifying, the lives that are at stake are those in high government positions and more than hundreds of others. But some will die because staff was limited, and they could only do so much. Kirk gets seriously ill, this operation was deadly and dealing with Iran who started the attacks, and the retaliation was terrifying.

Kirk was terrified and how would they stop the unleashing America’s nuclear missile, and he now held the biscuit.

With the help of a young hopeful agent named Bloom, Miner, Mulville and a team of people they hoped to find a way Miner, Mulville and a team of people they hoped to find a way  to search the President’s clothes to find the information to decipher the code or the world would end as we know it. Will the power of our military win? What happens when the President of the US and Iran go at it on the phone which side wins? An ending that will leave you wondering if the device saved the patients, did they stop the nuclear war and what is next for Mulville, and Miner will they meet again? What about Silvana will she do time? Some endings are tragic as this one is while in some respects new beginnings. Characters that are tough, interesting, persistent in completing their goals and you must love both Miner and Mulville and you decide about Silvana and Leeds. 

A little boy named Jeff who might have saved the day and a son to Kirk named Peter that is precious but remember this and don’ t forgets: Do not open any tan cards. Do not touch them with your bare hands? Make sure you give it to the police or FBI : Do not touch the tan card and if you receive a message that says: Your heart attack or stroke will arrive in an hour: Don’t touch it or your DISSECTION will be next.
