FORMULA SEVEN: and Genesis of The New World Order
On an otherwise serene 1989, June night, FBI agents are hustling to load up two large tractor-trailers. Their cargo is unusual. It consists of heavy filing cabinets, laboratory equipment, and chattering chimpanzees. Their motivation is far from altruistic.
Their target of the operation is Doctor Cyrus Markum, a brilliant microbiologist. With the fortune bequeathed by his former life-partner, he's funded the research project that has created Formula Seven, the vaccine that will thwart the virus causing AIDS.
The Feds are far from enthused with his initiative. They dispatch their agents to eradicate any trace of the lifesaving antibodies and emasculate its creator. The pompous autocrats have gravely miscalculated. They've unleashed a ravenous lion.
Doctor Markum chooses Daniel Dundee, a televangelist, as the pivot point in his blueprint of retribution and convinces the Bavarian Illuminati that the time has arrived for their all-encompassing revolution. The TV broadcast of the "New Age Messiah's" assassination will be the tipping point for the scheme, which will cause a chain reaction that will lead to the New World Order's absolute planetary domination.
The Doctor's enterprise is expansive and ingenious, but the Illuminati's Trilateral Commission has a strategy of their own.

Author Michael March created a suspenseful tale enriched with many twists and turns. The storyline displayed the main character with a dissociative identity disorder. Throughout the narrative, there was no predicting his erratic behavior. The fast-paced plot danced its way through endless harrowing scenes.
Following the death of his partner and former lover, Matthias, Cyrus embarked on a mission to uncover the cure for the AIDS virus. Completely immersed, it would consume his every waking hour. Inevitably, the road to a cure would first necessitate being paved with many bodies.
After an intensive three years of exhaustive research, the elusive gene had finally been isolated. The key to unlocking the HIV virus was at hand - Formula Seven antitoxin. It was a researcher's dream come true. Now, thousands of lives would be saved. Unfortunately, those dreams would be quickly dashed. Out of nowhere, a government conspiracy was in the making of the highest level.
In a series of uncontrollable events, everything had come apart. First, the doctor's primary lab at Crutchfield had been broken into and ransacked. Rooms left bare, everything was gone. While at the airport awaiting his flight home, Cyrus's briefcase had been stolen right from under his nose. It became obvious that professionals were at work.
If that wasn't enough, upon arrival home, priceless research data in his safe had been stolen. There were no obvious signs of a break-in. Finally to cap everything off, he was unjustly arrested and thrown into jail for criminal activity of conspiring to purchase valuable stolen artwork. It was a clear case of entrapment.
Taking on a Jekyll-and-Hyde persona, Cyrus embarked on a journey into the dark side. No longer the conservative research scientist of yore, his hungry search for gratification was in grave need of satisfaction. Clouded by overzealous ambition, the former man of science would stop at nothing to get his way. It was only a question of how long he would be able to keep those candles burning at both ends. Unknown to him, the day of reckoning awaited just around the corner.

If science fiction and conspiracy theory told in a roller-coaster ride through an author’s imagination is what you are looking for…well this is the book for you! Writer Michael March has either spent years plowing through medical and law enforcement libraries, or he has one hell of a vivid imagination. Enter into his second published novel “Formula Seven and Genesis of the New World Order”: a pot-boiling action story that zigzags between LA, SanFran, New Orleans, Atlanta, NYC, Berkeley, the Mid-west, and across the European continent into Frankfort…along with surprising side journeys into a space/time continuum and the time machine of the reader’s mind. March skillfully creates a set of interesting characters who move the story along, thereby sidestepping the traps that a less skilled author could fall into. He easily packs the book with information but tells it all through his characters.
March opens the novel with a strange undercover FBI operation but then swiftly plunges the reader into a backstory of intriguing characters and plot twists…all within the structure of telling a story of the early AIDS epidemic and a driven scientist who has a religious epiphany and vows to find the cure. Filled with details that place the reader into the last four decades of the 2oth century: Lovers who meet over Cherry Cokes at the concession stand at the Electric Circus, mentions of Shalimar perfume, images of the Hare Krishna devotees at the San Francisco airport, and Samsonite suitcases? Astrophysical expeditions and a Cleansing session and an International kidnaping? A climactic televised assassination? Michael March fills his story with so many details that pour over the reader like one of those fine wines he conjures into our imagination. The crackling of speakers, clicking of watches, the clanging of church bells and the snapping of hand-cuffs are brought to vivid life. Chilling though are his descriptions of bronchopneumonia, antigens, antitoxins, pandemics and epidemics that are all too close to home in 2020. As the world currently stumbles through a Covid-19 coronavirus tragedy (April, 2020), Michael March’s book is both disturbing and prophetic at the same time.
Without giving away the rich story and believable characters, take my word that March builds the novel with the deft skill of a historian and master storyteller who has some very insightful takes on coming-of-age, drugs, government, religion, society and a few memories of rock’n’roll thrown in too. Revealing his characters and tale like the layers of an onion, every chapter unveils something new and more fascinating with each turn of the page. The novel glides, but with an ominous undercurrent that is disturbing and concerning. Who would have thought that Peyote and Evangelical prophecy and Armani suits and a Traveling Psychic and Bob Crumb Zap comics and the Bavarian Illuminati could all sit so easily together? In a tale as deep and fast-paced as this? Yes, he did it. Author Michael March pulled off the near impossible: keeping this reader engaged without overloading my mind with facts. Foreboding in its plot involving a pandemic and a government conspiracy, it reflects where we are in 2020. Highly recommended during this time of wards, scrubs and safety garb…and the masked activities of a government agency gone wrong. Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity will not mean the same to you after you have read this book. “So, hang on. You should find the ride interesting.”

It doesn't seem all the far fetched. Shows how corruption within the government
will stop advancements that could help humanity to live a better quality of life.
Really enjoyed reading this book, kept my interest from beginning to end.
