Fatal Serum (ePub)

Sam Abbott had been working on his doctorate degree when he invents two serums: one prevents contagious diseases; the other blocks the harmful effects of air pollution to your lungs and bronchial tubes. He tries to get US drug companies to take an interest in his inventions, but they all sneer at him and turn him down. Buried in student loans, virtually penniless and weeks away from getting his doctorate, Sam contacts David Holloway, the second wealthiest man in the world. Sam needs financing to build his company. Holloway replies immediately and they meet in Chicago. Days later, Holloway informs Abbott he will finance the entire operation, including the land, a new plant, two years of employee payroll and Abbott's salary. The plant and Abbott's home would sit on 500 heavily-secured acres. Prior to the start-up, Holloway sends Abbott on an all expenses paid trip to New Zealand to research the country's geo-thermo operation and to have some time to relax before digging into his new venture. Taupo, New Zealand is where Abbott meets the love of his life, Jennifer Snowden. They are married the following year. She gives Sam the energy to build his company, SAWWS Inc., into a multi-million dollar corporation within ten years. SAM ABBOTT WORLD WIDE SERUM Inc. saves thousands of lives every year, not only in America, but worldwide. Three of America's top drug companies want SAWWS Inc. slowed down due to the drastic drop in their profits caused by Abbott's serums. Sterling Shear, a hard working, corrupt, greedy, and conniving US Senator from Mississippi, is summoned by a law firm in NYC, which represents the three largest drug companies in the US. Senator Shear tries three times to get a bill passed in the Senate to cut SAWWS Inc.'s production in half. Shear would be paid a billion dollars by the drug companies if he can get the bill passed. Shear fails, but can smell the billion dollars and uses his son, and ten of his buddies, to carry out the destruction of SAWWS Inc. Sam Abbott's life had been threatened many times. After ten years of managing the business, the Abbotts were scheduled to depart for New Zealand for a long-needed vacation. Jennifer comes up missing moments after Sam had spoken with her from his cell phone. With Sam now the prime suspect, he is on the run from authorities. Sam meets up with a female massage therapist, Cheryl Hanley, who is wanted for murder. They are later kidnapped and held for ransom-BY WHOM? China, Iran, Russia, the Taliban?
