The Chesapeake Bay area surrounding Annapolis is a wonderful place to live. The author of this medical fantasy story describes local neighborhoods and live experiences with focused accuracy. There is much to learn about piloting an airplane that is revealed by the author's vast knowledge of that subject but the relevance to the whole story escaped me. Perhaps, one must rise above all the details on the surface of the earth to see the whole picture and make such a seemingly simple but amazing medical discovery. The greatest asset of this book is to remind readers that helping mankind is much more important than the potential monitary reward associated with an invention or a discovery. The second most important asset of this book is the pure learning experience about historical facts from a very learned author.
