Frightening dreams night after night are afflicting the chief of pediatrics, Adam Stafford, at Ocala Regional Medical Center. Will there be a conclusion of his dreams or will he succumb to a death spiral before he can awake? At ORMC, Adam attempts to understand why deathbed children on the pediatric floor at ORMC awakened cured without any medical explanation? In a near-by town, an archeologist, Lisa Douglas, is searching for the meaning of ancient hieroglyphs on various Mayan relics recently discovered in a cave along Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. There seems to be a possibility that all these scenarios are intertwined with a twelve-year-old male patient, Arius Turner, at Ocala Regional Medical Center.
Strange is, without a doubt, a page-turner. I was amazed at author Didaleusky’s craftsmanship—and medical knowledge-- as I read this novel. Strange includes whispers of Ancient Astronaut theory, Mayan mysticism, medical detective television productions, and Indiana Jones—but Strange has intrinsic qualities that make it a unique read. The “answers” Dr. Adam Stafford (a pediatrician) and Dr. Lisa Douglas (an archaeologist) obtain only generate more questions—and the denouement will astound readers. Get ready for an encounter of the unexpected kind! This is a fun, entertaining text.
Didaleusky writes a good thriller. The genre is what I look for. I found the storyline intriguing. The author takes us closer and closer to a conclusion that is wonderful. If only it was true. But it’s fiction.
