God Dust
God Dust is book 2 in the riveting Broken Cure series
What if we discovered the spark that created life, only to learn it was forbidden fruit?
Six months ago, Alex Winthrop MD and research scientist Olivia Nilsson Ph.D. were entangled in an international plot that almost got them killed. CIA operatives spared their lives— for a price. In exchange for freedom and silence, they must conduct research sanctioned by the DOD. When Alex is assigned to a covert military nanorobotics lab, he wants out. But Olivia is immersed in her work, and her desire to flee has faded. She convinces him to stay.
Their research takes a turn when a co-worker reveals a dusty powder, rumored to accelerate healing. The legend began in Tiptonville, a rural town by the Mississippi River, in 1907. The events surrounding the discovery were buried, hidden away for over a century. Alex and Olivia secretly set out to determine if the claims are true.
Disaster strikes when a bioengineered virus tears across the globe. They find themselves in the crosshairs, torn between morality and medical duty. Should they reveal their startling, unsanctioned research? The dust may be their only salvation—or their damnation. Will mankind survive being saved?
God Dust and Broken Cure can be enjoyed as standalone stories.

Wow!!!!
This book was amazing..the story line kept me turning pages, I didnt want to put it down. Its kind of creepy how closely this story is to everything going on now. I'm looking forward to reading more of Doug Kane's books. Can't wait to see what Alex and Olivia get into next.

I am not sure I liked the book. While there were interesting parts,there were really boring parts and the ending to me was that.

This book honestly disappointed me. Even though I knew going into this novel that it would be based on medical components, I did not expect to struggle this hard in understanding what was going on. Ontop of that, the book jumped around so often it was hard to understand what characters were being discussed at any given moment unless there names were being used. Overall, it was a good with a good plot idea, bad overall execution.
