Original cover.
PEER REVIEW was Dr. Opie's fourth novel. Peer Review can be an extremely useful mechanism in the workplace when used ethically. It was used in December 2017 with respect to Rep. John Conyers and Senator Al Franken who have both resigned from Congress. Peer review is not designed to injure. It is designed to eliminate the target from the workplace. In the medical community peer review has been immunized from discovery - that resulted from the then-congressman now Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon via the 1986 (HCQIA) Health Care Quality Improvement Act. This was done to shield the peer reviewers from litigation. As a result, peer review can be easily abused. This book identifies what is known as "sham peer review." That is a target apocalypse but not all that rare.
SCORPION SANCTION is Dr. Opie's fifth novel. This epic thriller concerns big oil terrorism in Saudi Arabia and the consequences on the world's economy should something like this ever happen. The Hormuz Strait is attacked, oil pipe lines are attacked, the massive oil storage plant at Ras Tanura is attacked - chaos reigns supreme at AbQaiq oil dispatch headquarters for Saudi Aramco . Britain's IPE goes wild. New York's NYMEX collapses. The world is held hostage, and for a short period of time, CIA agent Jon Gold finds himself in charge of a country.
Russia has become a fissile flea-market. Nuclear products are for sale to someone with the right amount of money and connections. In this instance, an al Qaeda courier is dispatched to Zlatoust-36, an old Soviet Union ZATO, to obtain a suitcase nuclear weapon. Once that is completed, the weapon is brought to Seattle with an intent to move it to the Ohio Class SSBN submarine pen-stocks at Bangor in the Hood Canal. That has to be prevented. CIA agent Jon Gold and his SEAL buddies are running out of time.
Three terrorist cells are intent on hitting both New York and Miami. They are being managed from Uniono Arabico, an R&R facility for burned-out Hezbollah and Hamas, and al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists near Cuidad Del Este in Paraguay. The cell's leader has organized an ingenious way to transport drugs across borders in a non-detectable manner. CIA agent Jon Gold learns of horrifying secrets regarding household smoke detectors and soil density gauges from newspaper journalist Phillippa Highland. Southern Command has to act decisively. Our southern U.S. border with Mexico needs attention. It is an example of Hanlon's Razor operating 24/7.
ROGUE SWORD is Dr. Opie's 8th novel. Not too many nuclear weapons have been lost, but some have. This novel involves three Little Fellers - aka Davy Crockett's - they are in fact Plutonium 239 sourced M-388 W 54's - smaller versions of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki August 9th, 1945, which ended the Pacific component of World War II. They get lost in Switzerland in 1970 and are found almost 50 years later by the wrong people. Big trouble for Los Angeles is on the horizon. CIA agent Jon Gold and his SEAL colleagues have to stop a Los Angeles disaster.
Dr. Alex Simms operates on a patient dying from untreated acute-on-chronic pulmonary emboli. His surgery is competent and meets the standard of care, but the patient has additional post operative heart attacks, extensive bilateral intra-pulmonary abscesses and more pulmonary emboli and dies 3 weeks after his surgery. A colleague fingers him in a law suit. Simms fights back in an aggressive court combat situation - some $13 million is on the line. This is Dr. Opie's second non-fiction novel. All doctors should read this novel. Anyone else who might get sued should also read this novel. It might assist your defense.

Once back in Tuscon, Emanuel fights adverse government odds to get his inheritance.
