"The Healer" is based on many "what
ifs." What if atoms and protons are
combined in new ways? What if Mary truly appeared... What if a
government could buy knowledge and harness it for destructive
purposes? The
story reminds us that we only know what our own life experiences
and the
newscasters tell us. Truths are hidden and some actions have frightening,
far-reaching consequences.
The characters are genuine, three-dimensional and vulnerable...
As I read the book, I cared about their plights. I rooted for
them as they
sought the truth. They are understandable, interesting, complex
people.
A.J. Russo uses a simple, unembellished style. At times,
the presentation
sounds as factual as a science report, yet the fate of the characters
matters. Russo respects the reader and does not spell out every
reaction.
Instead, Russo cuts to the heart of the action, reporting events,
showing
what happened and implying how the characters felt.
I was amazed by how tightly the book held me. Normally
I am drawn to
reflection, but I found myself completely open to the story revealed
here.
The power of "The Healer" lies in its conflicts. Who
is the healer and just
what is being healed? This investigation of science, spirituality
and
consequences leaves the reader wondering what most needs to be
cured in
today's world...B. Lynn Goodwin, Inscriptions Magazine

Father Alex Forker is sent by the Vatican to investigate a
woman, Kari, who claims she is a visionary. Meanwhile, Susan Carter,
a student at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, a cancer research
facility in Buffalo, stumbles upon some data indicating that a
group of people in the Middle East, all diagnosed around the same
time, have the same cancer.
Six years earlier, physicist Travis Johnston, travels to Beirut
on a job interview. He lost his job two years earlier, when the
U.S. Congress voted to stop funding of the Super Conducting Super
Collider project in Texas. He is offered more than a million dollars
to work on a similar project in the Middle East.--a collider that
might generate new forces and new particles of matter, giving
scientists a better understanding of how the universe began.

"4 Stars...The reader is carried along in the
hostility between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland
from 1947-1991. The lives of two families--the Catholic Currys
and Protestant Redmonds--are presented in intense detail during
Northern Ireland's most deadly period by writer Russo. Intertwined
through rancor and violence, the lives of these two families are
presented in a suspenseful, fast-paced narrative filled with passion,
horror and machination. By focusing attention on the lives of
the families, Russo delineates more the heartache experienced
as the characters lose more than they gain from the enmity and
discrimination rampant in the area. Filled with a good bit of
the poignancy found in Eric Balkan's City of Tears,
and the attention to rich detail employed by Paul Clayton in Calling
Crow, Russo's New Lodge Affair is an entertaining
read that will keep the reader engrossed from the opening pages
right on to the last paragraph."--Reviewed by Molly Martin,

Soon to be in paperback
from Word Wrangler Publishing!
All the characters were well drawn, and believable,
as were their motives. A very nice discussion of differing moral
viewpoints and the passion felt by those on each side of the debate.
A.J. Russo writes knowledgeably about treatments for infertility,
and the manipulation of cells required for cloning. The technical
details are clear and easy to understand and the reader can feel
Russo's passion. It is great to read a book that looks at all
sides of such a complex issue.-LAUREN ROCHE, Inscriptions

The Fragile Egg
by A.J. Russo
World Wrangler Publishing, Inc.
ISBN 1-58630-036-9
Science Fiction
In the spirit of Dr. Robin Cook's medical suspense
novels, A.J. Russo brings us THE FRAGILE EGG. Through a fluid
third person narrative we are transported to the year 2011 where
human cloning is outlawed, Dr. Megan McGrath, one of the world's
best in-vitro scientists, is confronted with an ethical dilemma.
Her best friend, Deb Scalia, cannot conceive through traditional
and in-vitro methods. Megan has the knowledge that would make
possible her best friend's dream. However, helping her friend
conceive means risking being caught by the Committee for Human
Cloning (CHC). The tension mounts when Megan is routinely investigated
by Private Investigator, Sean Duncan. The CHC snoop uncovers information
that could mean imprisonment for Megan and a violent death to
the people Megan loves the most.
Though there are a few abrupt scene changes that can
be confusing, THE FRAGILE EGG is a book that must be read. A.J
Russo uses his knowledge of biology and molecular biology to introduce
us to biological possibilities that, just a few years ago, were
science fiction. He thrusts us into a future in which human cloning
is the only avenue in which a few parents could have children.
This novel has intrigue and delves into moral and ethical issues
that confront us now. It also provides a thorough grasp of a cutting
edge
technology that is affecting our lives today. I highly recommend
THE FRAGILE
EGG.
