Synopsis

J.P. leaned back in his chair and placed his hands behind his head. Did this have something to do with the 21st Century Plan? Well, one way or another it is new information. He was worried that he had hit a dead-end after the formula issue. Now at least there is something that could be related to the project. He thought it was a little ironic that he was there at James to find out why someone had made a copy of the plan and in the process there had been an unrelated shooting, a stolen Lifeal formula, and an emerging board of directors battle, all seeming to have nothing to do with the 21st Century Plan.

About this title

Synopsis

James Pharmaceutical Company (JPC) is on the verge of a colossal breakthrough in the world of pharmaceuticals: a cure for Alzheimer's disease. JPC has developed the formula, but cannot perfect the product due to side effects as well as a cash shortage. When the president of JPC discovers that an unknown yet trusted key employee has made a copy of a secret document outlining the cure, he calls in a favor from his old friend, Jean Paul Koenig, PhD. Jean Paul, or J. P., an expert in herbal pharmaceuticals, reluctantly agrees to get involved. Along the way, J. P. befriends a Japanese intelligence officer who has been trying to find a new product for a small innovative Japanese pharmaceutical company in Bandai, Japan. Together they evaluate the situation and work through deceit and violence as major international pharmaceutical companies fight for the highly coveted pharmaceutical, its raw material, and the rights to market it.
