Genre: Thriller.
Description:
“Dr. Peter Palma joins the medical team of the Paradise to treat
passengers for minor ailments as the cruise ship sails across the Atlantic. But
something foul is festering under the veneer of leisure. The brig fills with
felons, the morgue with bodies, and the vacation becomes a nightmare.
Peter and his staff face a vile affliction that pits loved ones
against each other and shatters the bonds of civil society.
With the ship hurtling towards an unprepared New York, only Peter can
neutralize the threat, but he’s hallucinating and delirious.
And sometimes primal urges are impossible to resist.
The Regression Strain is a fast-paced, cerebral medical thriller
that'll grab you from the first to the last page.”
Author:
“Kevin O. Hwang, MD, is a professor of internal medicine at McGovern
Medical School at UTHealth Houston where he sees patients and teaches
residents. His academic work has appeared in leading medical journals.”
Appraisal:
This was a fun read. Dr Palma, the doctor who is the protagonist of
this story, thought being the doctor on a cruise ship would be much less
stressful than his last job. It was a great theory, but turns out to be far
from the reality of what he experiences in this little adventure he finds
himself in. What was going to happen next and how it was going to work out in
the end kept me engaged and guessing the whole way. A fun read.
