“A Fountain for Life, or a Pool of Death”

Professor Anatoly Popov, an esteemed virologist and Russian-born defector, steals the world's deadliest virus from a U.S. counter bio-terrorism lab. His aim - to alter its properties with the remains of an interstellar meteorite to create a universal Cure, based upon an ancient Chinese legend. But the theft sets off a murderous clandestine multi-national competition for the ultimate bioweapon. Now with his time running out, Popov must pin his hopes upon Cmdr. Rex Lee, an ex-Seal medic and novice physician-scientist, and a desperate search mission in the Amazonian rainforest of Brazil to restore the promise of THE WELL.

"The Well is a fictional adventure filled with spiritual and mystical twists and turns with more than enough reality to live in our story today."
– Dannion Brinkley, New York Times best-selling author of Saved by the Light

"a mythical story, paralleling the cataclysmic issues of our time."
– James Redfield, New York Times best-selling author of The Celestine Prophecy

Foreword by James Redfield, author of the Celestine Prophecy.

"The Well,... a feat of mythical storytelling..."
- Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, Author of “Tao Classics of Longevity and Immortality: Sacred Wisdom and Practical Techniques.”

"The Well...combines the kinds of mystical and magical mysteries found in the DaVinci Code with the type of literary phantasmagoria found in Raiders of the Lost Ark."
––Dr. Richard Allen Williams, Professor of Medicine and Cardiology, UCLA School of Medicine
