I found a bunch of little links in the medical thrillers. I posted them much earlier on this thread. Here they are again, as I quote myself:
Maggers Wrote:I'm re-reading "Mirage." I've found a connection between it and "All the Rage."
Julie's father was a neurochemist who worked for GEM Pharmaceuticals, the same company that featured so prominently in "All the Rage."
I love finding these little links.
Maggers Wrote:I found a couple of connections in "Implant," which I am now rereading. Oliver, the chemist brother of the magniloquent Duncan, worked at some point for GEM Pharmaceuticals of "All The Rage" fame and also mentioned in "Mirage."
And at one point, while disparaging a truly greedy physician, Duncan mutters that the doctor probably graduated from the Ingraham, the notorious medical school of "The Select."
Maggers Wrote:Another connection! Woo hoo! I love finding these links.
I just finished rereading "Implant." Dr. John VanDuyne is referred to briefly as the President's personal physician. He doesn't make an appearance; it's just a reference.
I'm now rereading "Deep as the Marrow." The first sentence is out of the mouth of the President's personal physician, Dr. John VanDuyne, a major character in this novel.
Edit to add another link: Robert Decker, special agent of the President's Secret Service squad, appears in "Deep as the Marrow," and he was in "Implant," also.

Thanks Maggers. I love all of these little connections as well. I dont always catch them the first go-round. Thanks for the re-hash.

I think its a Scots dialect term meaning "brave" not just in the sense of "courageous," but "excellent" or "well done." That's how I use it anyway. Scotsmen can sue me care of the board.

I'm just curious what's happening with this. Who's working on it? How is it coming along?

I think it's dead in the water.
