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, Baxter Schiller Corporation. When Montana first heard from The Times newspaper journalist Sandra Wallington about three women who died due to "fetal deformity syndrome" after taking Baxter Schiller's "Methnox" (a drug for treating infertility), she didn't believe such a thing could happen. Soon after, Sandra was killed in a collision with a speeding train due to brake failure; the chief laboratory technician suddenly died after being corroded by the lab's "sulfur rain" for revealing a little about Baxter 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 the "Methnox" drug was struck through the skull by a flying construction crane hook while crossing the sidewalk, dying instantly. 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 go.
