BOOK  DESCRIPTION: FROM AMAZON


THE TROUBLE WITH MIRACLES A MIRACLE CURE FOR VIRUSES THAT BIG PHARMA WILL KILL TO STOP

Alex Farmer, M.D. is a former drug addict trying to put his tortured life behind him. Cyd Seeley is a brilliant botanist and rancher in dire financial straits. Inadvertently, they are thrown together when a mutual friend is murdered after developing an inexpensive, organically grown cure for viral diseases.

The miracle plant is called Cannastar and it cures all manner of viruses from Coronavirus and cancer, to HIV and herpes. Cannastar costs next to nothing to grow, returns the hopelessly ill to good health, and threatens to bankrupt the pharmaceutical industry. Big Pharma will stop at nothing to keep it off the market.

Aided by faithful Native Americans from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana and the Navajo Nation in Arizona, Cyd and Alex fight to grow Cannastar and bring it to a desperate world. Their harrowing and perilous journey ranges from the Rocky Mountain wilderness, to the political corruption of Washington D.C., to the jungles of Mexico, to the deserts of the Southwest.

Filled with mystery and suspense, The Cannastar Factor is part adventure and part love story; a timely thriller that unfolds with endless surprises and heartwarming relationships; an epic novel about the resolute passions of two people who stand against a broken world.


MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed this story. The idea of finding a natural cure for every disease out there is a brilliant concept. This book resonates with me because  I work in the plant biotech field and I love how knowledgeable the author is in creating and exciting story on this topic. 

I started with the 2nd book and had no idea everything that happened leading up to it. I am glad I was able to read how it all started. I love Alex and Cyd's relationship and how it develops throughout  the story. I  thought the character development was well done and the way the author was able to describe them made me feel connected to each of them. 

MY RECOMENDATION/STAR RATING  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend this book and give it a 5/5.  Mr Steele is a great story teller and knows how to give action, drama and introduce robust characters with lots of personality. 

This is book 1 of a 3 part series. 

 I added the link below if your interested in getting this book or all 3 on amazon.
