About the Book

Escaping a facility in California, a virus intended to help cure the world of violence unleashes an epidemic of rage infecting every nation on earth. A relief organization with the unfortunate acronym W.A.R.T. is the world's only hope of salvation. Enter Alban Bane, an acerbic, outrageous detective, and his new partner, Dr. Ada Kenner of the Center for Disease Control, who detects a pattern in the mysterious pockets of rage. The unlikely duo chase the virus from Los Angeles to France, Hong Kong, and Africa in a global race against time in the company of a ragtag cast of allies and enemies. This robust adventure satirizes medical thrillers and zombie stories in one suspenseful sweep, delivering equal measures of satire, thrills, suspense, and comedy.

Review :
"Alban Bane may be a cop who breaks the rules, but he also gets the job done. The wise-cracking Bane has his work cut out for him when a super-virus spreads out of control, threatening the global population. International locales and (horrors!) yet another reality show make "MADicine "a grand romp of chuckles and thrills." --"In The Hills: A Magazine of Country Living" "Armstrong grabs the readers from page one, buckles them into their seat[s] and jets off on a wild ride of mystery and mayhem. . . . A richly detailed, well-organized read that superbly marries fact with fiction and humor with horror. The action is blistering, the zany characters are timeless, and the tone is as forceful as a heavyweight's jab." --"The Free Lance-Star" (syndicated to several newspapers and two radio shows) "Armstrong manages the difficult proposition of satirizing the very genre in which he's writing but not settling for a simple spoof. Like Ian Fleming, he somehow combines over-the-top satire with genuinely suspenseful action. His ear for funny and believable dialogue goes a long way to making this trick possible. Celebrate the upcoming centeneary of Ian Fleming's birth by reading this book." --"Booklist," starred review "Det. Alban Bane's second outing takes a satiric look at genetics research companies, zombie films and more in Armstrong's action-packed second novel." --"Publishers Weekly" ""MADicine" takes Armstrong's unique genre-bending style to a new level." --"Films and Books Magazine" "A super sleuth . . . a grisly gamester . . . a multiplicity of games in town." --"Kirkus Reviews" on "The Game" "Action packed adventure." --"Publishers Weekly" on "The Last Troubadour" "Dark tongue-in-cheek thriller." --"Library Journal" on "The Game" "Hugely cinematic thriller with hilarious dark comic moments." --"Films and Books Magazine "on "The Game" "In his follow-up to the excellent "The Game" (2007), Armstrong takes on a whole new set of challenges. . . . The novel has moments of near-brilliance in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways." --"Booklist "on "The Game" "Recommended for all." --"Library Journal" on "The Last Troubadour" "Suspenseful and rich with dark humor." --"ForeWord Reviews" on "The Game" "Action packed adventure." -"Publishers Weekly" on "The Last Troubadour" "Recommended for all." -"Library Journal" on "The Last Troubadour" "Suspenseful and rich with dark humor." -"ForeWord Reviews" on "The Game" "Dark tongue-in-cheek thriller." -"Library Journal" on "The Game"
