The endless journey of man to find immortality might just be found in the science of nanotechnology
Miami Beach, FL – In this modern, scientific world we live in we deal with facts and theories that are often in conflict with spiritual and religious notions. That was before Jennifer Valoppi wrote Certain Cure (Murray Hill Press) – an outstanding medical/religious thriller that combines science and ancient prophecies, and was voted the #1 best-selling Techno-thriller on Amazon and the National Best Books 2008 Award-Winning Finalist in New Age Fiction. This debut novel from the prolific imagination of this multi-talented journalist and award-winning author leaves the reader begging for a sequel.
Certain Cure bridges the gap between modern physics and ancient prophecies in a strong, character-driven story of a woman dying of cancer who allows a mysterious Chinese doctor to inject a nanochip into her spinal fluid that will direct her body to destroy the cancer. This is done against the wishes of her daughter, a struggling TV talk show host, who later recants when she selfishly realizes this cure might possibly save her ailing career. The woman’s doting grandson is concerned when a strange mark forms on her hand that he believes to be the ‘mark of the beast,’ at the same time as he experiences troubling visions – clues that involve a medical necklace, the only thing found at the brutal murder of a Park Avenue physician. It becomes evident that the mysterious Chinese doctor may have discovered immortality – the eternal fountain of youth. Will the search for God now become irrelevant?

Adding another level of excitement and authenticity to the non-stop action in this novel is that scientists at Weizmann Institute have recently developed nano-technology for detecting cancer, and earlier this year the Financial Times ran an article about futurist Ray Kurzwell’s prediction that technology could enable this generation to live forever!

TIP SHEET:
Gotham Magazine: “Valoppi tackles the conflict between science and religion in a riveting read that recalls The Da Vinci Code. Merging nanotechnology with ancient Judeo-Christian prophesies, Valoppi sends readers on a fictional chase through our beloved-and ever mysterious-Manhattan.”
Comments from Amazon readers include:
“Loved this book… such a great read and fast, a real page turner. If you like Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwell, John Grisham – jump on the band wagon. Let’s get Ms. Valoppi to write another book ASAP….can’t wait for the movie!!”
“Ordered, opened and finished, from the first page to the end could not find a place to take a break. I strongly recommend this book to all. Hopefully, Ms. Valoppi has another book in the works.”
“About fifty pages into this book, I thought, this is going to make a great movie…fast moving thriller that is tough to put down….read the whole thing in a weekend. Characters are likeable and well-developed…plot was Da Vinci Code like but little more fun…had me thinking how much we rely on various technological and medical breakthroughs to make our lives better, but what happens if they go too far? Where does the line between progress and ethics begin to blur? An impressive book…would recommend it to anyone!”
“Adventurous, engaging and enjoyable – didn’t want to put it down!”
“It is an exciting, edge of seat, page turner. Amount of background work done on this topic must have been immense. Jennifer’s experience in the world of investigative reporting and her news media suave comes through in the book…found it similar to Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code – primarily for the style, not necessarily the topic…comes together like a Guy Richie movie. The underlying plot draws you in and the short chapters make it a fun and easy read. Look forward to her next book.”
