Welcome!
First, I want you to see my recent books and read excerpts from each. You can buy them from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Borders, Powells, or your local bookstore. Right now, I'm working on a new book.
Next, since my research as a biomedical scientist has been to extend healthy life, I want to keep you up-to-date on science's latest advances to help you live a long, healthy, and active life. Just click the link below.
Finally, I'm a nut about fictional thrillers. If you click the link, you see a list of my recommendations of the best, recent thrillers and the all-time best thrillers.

THE SAVAGE SKY |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Imagine being blasted by a 170 mile-per-hour gale at 53 degrees below zero. You are 30,000 feet above the earth - higher than Mount Everest - in an open airplane. Ice from your breath blocks your oxygen mask. Altitude sickness fills your lungs with fluid. And someone is trying to kill you. It isn't fiction. It is an eyewitness account of bombing missions over Germany in the winter of 1943-1944. The story begins with a fearsome, December crossing of the North Atlantic, in which our four-engine, B-17 bomber, lost in a violent storm and without radio contact, barely reaches the Irish coast. It continues with four months of fierce fighting that kills five members of my ten-man crew and wounds two. It ends east of Berlin, when German fighters destroy two of my bomber's engines, damage a third, and turn the plane into a flaming torch, that leads to a terrifying escape from Germany. |

As science moves toward control of aging, will it bring Shangri-La, or will it open a Pandora's Box of economic, social, and political problems? In this thriller, scientist Andrew Jefferson's research team develops a drug to stop human aging. Before he can announce it, a radical, Middle Eastern nation hears of it. Their scientists have found an anti-aging drug that is also addictive, and they plan to use it to enslave the world when people take the drug to stop aging. The radicals send agents to stop Jefferson. They murder his coworkers, kidnap his wife, and send him into terrified flight that ends in the center of a Middle Eastern war. |

HELLO, METHUSELAH - Living to 100 and Beyond |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Three barriers keep us from living forever: diseases, accidents, and aging. Based on solid science, Hello Methuselah tells how simple steps to prevent diseases and accidents, plus modern treatment, can raise life expectancy today above 100 years. It also charts science's progress against aging - progress that is raising the life-span of laboratory animals as much as six-fold and is pointing toward drugs to extend human life. Using the rate of past progress, it projects our possible, future course toward long life. |
