The DrugTech Trilogy
Marcel Victor Sahade.

'The Drug Tech Trilogy' was one of those rare moments in reading when I could hardly put the book down. It has been well thought out and beautifully constructed into a clever, intelligent reading experience. There are so many different facets that have been brought together. Somehow, the Medicis of Italy in the 16th century, a truck driver, highly developed modern medical science, NASA, unhappy spouses, corrupt police officers, treasure and much more, have been brought together into the same trajectory. Each little scenario that Marcel Victor Sahade has written could be extended into a book in its own right. So many characters and tone changes are running through, yet the reader can follow it without difficulty. The DrugTech Company is not entirely ethical, and there are many people killed because of it. A particular silver casket is often mentioned. Captain Terence recovers hidden treasure and funds the Medici Pharmaceutical Company with its proceeds. The small scenarios are in some ways similar to life, as big happenings are usually a result of many different aspects coming together as one.

I like the way it has been divided into three sections or books. It allows the reader to put a bookmark in and pause before diving in for the next chapter. The first book is about setting the scene, with occasional hints about the theme. It all starts coming together in book 2, along with a few more elements that bring yet different dimensions to the whole.

I want to say how much I enjoyed the front cover. I found it mysterious and intriguing, and I would take it off a shop shelf for closer inspection.

This is a good book for all genres, including teens. I found no grammatical errors, horrific imagery, or explicit sexual scenes. Because of all these reasons and the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed it, I will award it a 5-out-of-5-star rating.

Thank you for your detailed review. I like it when an author can combine disparate themes or people across time periods and have it all make sense. Your description of the book is very appealing and this is one I will now look out for.
