Wellesbury Noon and Ezmerelda Dontible have found themselves in a position where they can make their native land somewhere that lives up to its name: Harmonia. However, they’re setting their sights further afield for their number one task: eradicating the disease that has plagued the neighbouring country of Loretania for generations and allowed the privileged Harmonians to live in a sterile environment.
After dispatching a team of scientists to Loretania, armed with cratefuls of an antidote and vaccine and headed up by their friend, Dr George Tindleson, Welles, Ez, and Welles’s brother Mal – who grew up in that benighted nation – start to worry when they hear nothing back, despite what they had agreed. Commandeering a fishing boat to follow the science team over the sea, they soon find that, while the disease may be on the way out, a new kind of infection has set in – the corruption they thought they had stamped out in Harmonia.
Can they get to the root of the problem and eliminate it before even more damage is done to an innocent people?

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteCute as a button. Oh my gosh....I have TONS of books to get rid of that mom had although she has not been reading in several yrs. Saving the mysteries for my aunt and trying to see if I can sell some of these books. WOW....so many.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your goals!
DeleteDecided to give them away to friend that like holding a book in their hands, feeling the pages and smelling the paper and of course....my fave....THE INK.

DeleteNice review. Not my style of book though. I prefer memoir and once in a while a cozy mystery with cats in it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, bios can be good, for sure. Best wishes!
