Michael J. Young, MD Author
"...as a storyteller he may fill the void created by the loss of other great fiction writers such as Crichton & Clancy."
“The Illness of Medicine is a riveting and terrifying look behind the opaque and confusing state of health in America. After 33 years on the front lines, Dr. Young tells you what your doctor won’t about how it all works and too often does not. This book is a disturbing and scathing indictment of a system on life support and once you pick it up you won’t be able to put it down.” – Jack Conaty, Chicago; Former Political Editor
“Net of Deception is one of those novels you simply cannot stop reading until the very last page. This novel is an explosive mix of medicine, sex, politics, and international complot. Dr. Young mastered all of these elements in a realistic novel set in our current reality. Net of Deception is powerful, contemporary, and food for the brain. As in life, the book portrays value, which is often given away in exchange for fast-consuming comfort or shortcuts that have a tremendous cost. A must read.”

“Max Conit, a genius, but ununderstood scientist was convinced his invention, a smart synthetic hydrogel, would help treat patients and possibly save lives. But with nefarious intentions, inexplicable deaths and a puzzling investigation, has the perfect crime been devised? This is a brilliantly clever and intriguing thriller. I highly recommend it.”
