About the book:
Miracle Drug (Abingdon, September 2015)

Overcoming these odds will take more than a miracle drug—it will take a miracle.

The infection wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. The treatment was supposed to take care of it, but it didn’t. Then Dr. Josh Pearson discovers why—his patients, including the former President of the United States, have been dosed with a different strain of the original virus, one that is universally fatal. The only chance for survival is treatment with an experimental drug, but the manufacturer might already have discarded its supply.

As if treating the President of the United States isn’t stressful enough, the situation goes from bad to worse when Rachel Moore, a nurse Josh is falling in love with, falls ill. With the nation’s eyes on him, Josh must pull off a miracle to save a man who holds a good deal of power and the woman who holds his heart.

Dr. Richard Mabry is a retired physician who writes “medical suspense with heart.” His novels have won multiple awards: a semifinalist for International Thriller Writers’ debut novel; finalists for the Carol Award, Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award, and Romantic Times’ Reader’s Choice Award; and both finalist and winner of the Selah Award. “Miracle Drug” is his ninth published novel. He and his wife live in Frisco, Texas.

My thoughts:

 

After reading another of this author’s books previously I knew I was going to love this medical drama.  I love learning about medicine even if it’s fiction!  And suspense novels are a favorite of mine as well.  This combines both and does it in a fast paced stay one step ahead way.  

 

I can’t even begin to imagine how our main character Josh has to decide who can have the one dose of antiviral.  This well thought out drama keeps you moving and guessing and not wanting to put your book down.  Does Josh choose his girlfriend who he’s about to propose to or the ex President who he is personal physician to?  Such decisions!  Or can he call in favors to an old pal and find more antiviral. . . . 

 

So many variables and so many players in this game of a book.  I was intrigued and spellbound.  I couldn’t put it down!  And then of course there is the romance between the Secret Service man and the PR person. . . but I won’t spoil that for you!  Highly recommend this book and think you should check it out as well as Mabry’s other works.
