New author Chris Blinn proves that water is as thick as blood, if not thicker, in Madison X, a sexy, fast-paced science fiction thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seat from the beginning of the prologue. At the center of this vivid novel is a child born with a broken heart that doctors are unable to fix. Her name is Madison Zalapski; her only hope will rest in the hands of her father, Jimmy's estranged friend Wesley Canton, a medical researcher, who will do anything to regain his friendship with his long-lost buddy. On the auspices of finding a cure, Wes joins a medical research team in South America whose practices are circumspect, but whose results have elicited a serum that could save Madison's life. As Wes bends the rules to illustrate the ties that bind, all hell breaks loose. The experiments get out of hand when a human subject escapes, and Wesley finds himself trying to save not only Madison's life, but his own.
