Announcing the nearly fictional novel of historic proportions!





Full size cover image

Full size Dust Jacket image


War correspondent Michael Wolfson’s passion to end torture, genocide and crimes against humanity
leads to a scientific revolution in truth technology that must survive attempted destruction
 by powerful secret, government, corporate and underworld organizations.

            Human behavior based on verifiable truth sounds good, but not to the array of powerful and
desperate adversaries any such truth science would face—for whom it would spell the end
of secrecy, illicit power and influence, the fruits of corruption, violence,
and crimes against humanity. Starting in Washington, DC.

For more on the actual bio-chemical truth technology based on current "CSI" GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Sprectrometry)
as seen in crime labs on CSI New York, CSI Miami, and CSI Las Vegas, Law and Order,
and other technically accurate crime scene technology televison and films, click here for the
Epilog of The Nadjik Pheromone, by pioneer CSI forensic toxicologist, Dr. Brian Andresen.
