Summary: A Page-Turner from an Expert in the Field
Comment: Adrenaline opens with biochemistry student James Parker on the verge of a cure for muscular dystrophy, a disease that has debilitated he and his sister. In a clever rescue attempt, he meets Darcy Williams, another dedicated biochemistry student.
When Parker tells Darcy about his experiment, she and her overzealous boyfriend Jason eagerly volunteer to assist him with his research. Parker is overjoyed but it doesn't last long when he discovers his sister is running out of time.
He decides that he cannot wait on the normal refinement and testing process that his drug must go through. Influenced by his sister's worsening condition, Parker desperately takes matters in his own hands. Then things really start to go wrong.
Darcy is paranoid and running from someone or something that she won't reveal to anyone. Jason seems obsessed with the possibility of the drug making lots of money and his genuineness is questioned as he witnessed hanging out with some questionable characters. Creatures with incredible strength are creeping up everywhere and terrorizing the college campus, causing massive fear and bloodshed. Eventually all the secrets, schemes, identities and motives are revealed.
John B. Olson is no stranger to science and stories of suspense. He received a doctorate degree in biochemistry and has co-authored Oxygen and The Fifth Man.

Summary: action-packed medical research thriller
Comment: Grant recipient post graduate biochemistry student James Parker is euphoric. Mouse 87, suffering from muscular dystrophy and barely able to move for several months, suddenly is running around like a marathon runner after an injection of adrenaline 355. However, when he calls his mother with the good news, he learns his sister Jenny, who suffers from the debilitating disease like James does, is back in the hospital with a very weak heart. However, something weird has occurred. The metal bars to the cage containing Mouse 87 have been bent and the test rodent escaped.
Still feeling like he is on a natural high, James, wheelchair and all, rescues graduate student Darcy Williams from glass heads. His discovery excites the campus and medical community bringing hope to muscular dystrophy sufferers while James and Darcy fall in love. However, the "Invisible Man," leader of the glass heads wants this incredible find; he increases the assaults on the campus with the prime targets being James and Darcy.
Fans will feel they are on ADRENALINE with this action-packed medical research thriller that never slows down until the bridge forms a final surprising coupling. The story line is at its best when it concentrates on James, Darcy and his sister. Jenny is a role model as never stopped believing that God will take care of her in some fashion. When the plot switches to the Invisible Man, it loses a bit of its momentum though he is the key to much of the adversarial moments. John B. Olson deftly provides sub-genre fans with a fabulous terse tale that will excite readers who will search for his co-authored Martian works.

Summary: Heart-pumping Action
Comment: James Parker is in a race against death.
Confined to a wheelchair with muscular dystrophy, biochemistry grad student, James Parker, found a cure for this crippling disease. Yet, it would have taken years for the drug to go through the tedious and expensive testing required for government approval. James and his sister Jenny didn't have that kind of time. In an act born of desperation and determination, James took his "cure"; a drug he named Adrenaline 355. After observing the amazing results this drug produced in his lab mice, he felt there was enough data to consider this compound his last and only chance to overcome the disease. However, when some bizarre side effects surfaced in his lab animals, James had to decide if saving his own life was worth jeopardizing the lives of others.
Against the backdrop of the excitement of a major medical breakthrough, there was the softer and more tender side of love. James Parker's life became linked with Darcy Williams, another grad student. Together they shared the thrill of Parker's discovery and the terror of the possible complications. Darcy also had some secrets in her past, which were crippling her in an emotional way. Will James's love for her be the cure she needs?
John B. Olson has written a stimulating story that throbs with excitement. The author has a degree in biochemistry and his knowledge in this area allowed him to write with accuracy and detail. Readers will be able to glimpse life and victory from Parker's wheelchair. The author has created a different kind of hero; one that is produced from the ashes of despair. The issue of science versus sacrifice is brought to life and examined in the actions of the characters. Readers will be challenged in their thinking and also eager to reach the final pages.
Adrenaline pulsates with heart-pumping action and a story line that stimulates the senses.
