Pharmaceuticals vs. alternative with action and suspense.
This novel is a fun-to-read, action thriller. There is something deeper, however, and my goal was to address an issue central to each of our lives. We all have something in common; something wondrous and divine. We each hold the ability to heal ourselves of all limitation and disease. This common thread is our connection with Universal Intelligence. This Source is referred to by many different names, God, perhaps the most common. Our terminology makes no difference. Every human has the sacred right to connect with the Almighty, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status, geographic location on this planet, relgious dogma or the absence of. This is a story about the battle being waged in the health care industry, where perhaps the greatest social revolution ever, is taking place with the emergence of alternative medicine. The Power highlights the struggle for medical dollars by examining our right to live without drugs. Emotionally and politically charged issues such as the proliferation of mandatory vaccinations, laboratory animal testing, and brainwashing quantites of drug advertising, run head long into wholistic health philosophy and our right to have a "clean" central nervous system in order to connect with that which is pure in each of us.

I loved it. After the first 100 pages or so, I could no longer put it down! For years I've wanted Robin Cook or Michael Palmer to write this story, and I'm so glad that John Adams finally did...and I must say, did as good a job with it as they would have. It may be a work of fiction, but there is more truth to it than I want to think about. Vaccine injuries are certainly NOT FICTION, I know, I have cared for my vaccine injured daughter for the past nine years. I highly recommend this book. If you like medical mysteries, you'll love this one.

The Power takes its reader on an intense journey delving into the clandestine underbelly of the nation's pharmaceutical industry. Author John Adams succeeds in joining together a host of relatable characters in a refreshingly enigmatic storyline. Truly promises gutwrenching action with repeated uppercuts to the emotions.

I judge my interest in a book by how sorry I am to put it down and how badly I want to get back to it - very much in this case. While there were a couple of times I didn't quite catch how the subject got changed, it didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the storyline. While interesting, exciting and romantic, what was most obvious to me was that the author intended to be thought-provoking - and certainly succeeded in my case. I'll be sharing this book with family and friends and I'll be first in line for this author's next publication!

Highly Readable!, July 24, 2000
