The middle-east is boiling over, conventional weapons are not working and the nuclear option is not politically correct. A glamorous Swedish surgeon and a British boffin are following different paths to find a solution. The story takes us from America via Europe to the Arab hot-spots and a literary agent is struggling to separate fact from fiction. How will the world survive? Mike Launer has been practising psychiatry all his life, dealing with all manner of suffering from emaciated young girls to malicious murderers. This is his third novel in different genres ranging from the more familiar mad psychiatrists to cowboys and Indians and now political intrigue. All of them have a mixture of humour and suffering with a dose of humanity.
