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 biochemist, Dr. Brian Andresen.

A new novel by Michael Kenneth Hemp
| By 1906, the Western frontier has almost completely disappeared and wanted gunmen are a dead or hunted breed. An aging outlaw on the run from his violent past seeks sanctuary in Big Sur, a “Refuge for Settlers and Outlaws” on California’s wild central coast and is forced by fate to become the “last of the otter hunters”—only to be challenged by violence and hardship to a destiny as the only man able to save them from extinction by his own kind. |
