Raw Nerve
Raw Nerve is a serious book with a powerful moral issue that
affects the whole world!
....What happens if a pharmaceutical
or cosmetics corporation attempt to cause genocide by infecting
a product with a genetically programmed virus only they have
the antidote to?
Dangerous questions? This is a dangerous book. A chilling
book! But it was only after I had finished the novel I realised
the horrendous truth about what I had written as fiction.
Whilst listening to the South African truth commission inquiry
I learned the apartheid government in South Africa had actually
attempted to achieve the results suggested in this fictitious
story - to genetically obliterate the black population!
This fictional story should be seen as a warning: what if
that was to occur in the United States of America?
The story involves the Ku Klux Klan, the Afrikaner resistance
movement and a genetic virus about to annihilate African-Americans.
But the plot is essentially about one man against all odds
who makes the difference. Gideon is a character with whom
every reader with a heart and soul will want to identify.
Like a surgeon he’s about to cut the cancer from society.
I connect the Ku Klux Klan with the Afrikaner resistance movement
and add into the equation a white South African geneticist.
Gideon infiltrates the Klan as a covert operative for a black
four star general, Lon Travers, who is also the presidential
military adviser. What he discovers is a genetic obscenity
about to be unleashed! In short, this story is America’s
worst nightmare!
The plot is fast paced, very intense and an irresistible
“page-turner”: is the world is about to bear witness
to yet another holocaust?
The emotional complexity of the characters punctuates the
mood, often adding idiosyncratic colour as well as many sub-plot
threads and story twists that will surprise and shock!
