Features: Montana Banaman is the daughter and private assistant of a Nobel Prize-winning medical laureate and a genetics expert. To secure funding for Banaman's research, they join the world's largest pharmaceutical giant—Bendix Schiller Corporation. When Montana first heard from The Times newspaper reporter Sandra Wallington about three women who had taken Bendix Schiller's "Metanox" (a drug for treating infertility) and died due to "fetal malformation syndrome," she didn't believe such a thing could happen. Soon after, Sandra died in a collision with a speeding train due to brake failure; the chief laboratory technician was suddenly corroded by the lab's "sulfur rain" after revealing a little about Bendix Schiller's secrets to Montana; the patent department manager was pushed into the 2,000-degree Celsius molten lava while flying to Hawaii to watch a volcanic eruption; and a clinical doctor using "Metanox" was struck through the skull and instantly killed by a flying construction crane's iron hook while crossing the sidewalk. Montana was forced to get involved in this righteous investigation for human life safety and genetic research. The novel is thrilling and terrifying, compelling you to read it in one sitting.
