THE TROUBLE WITH MIRACLES

A 3-D printer that replaces human organs without the need for surgery . . .but even miracles can kill



The epic adventures of Alex Farmer and Cyd Seeley continue in The Organ Grinder Factor, Book Two in the 3-book series entitled The Trouble with Miracles. Based on true events, this timely thriller ranges from the real-world horrors of child slavery in Africa to the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict in Israel.

In desperate search of a place to safely grow their miracle cure for viruses called Cannastar, Alex and Cyd shipwreck off the west coast of Africa and wash ashore in the drug and war-torn nation of Guinea-Bissau. Fleeing for their lives, they arrive in Senegal where they become involved in the country's real-life child slavery problem and barely avoid execution.

They find refuge in Israel where they meet the inventor of the Organ Grinder, a 3-D printer that replaces damaged organs without the need for surgery. The experimental research is funded by a ruthless billionaire with a violent and secret past who becomes Cyd and Alex's investor in a vast new Cannastar plantation.

While living in Israel, Cyd is badly wounded in a Palestinian rocket attack. Her only chance of survival is the Organ Grinder-which has never been tested on a human being. Meanwhile, Alex is taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists and spends weeks in fear not knowing if Cyd is alive or dead.
