As many of you know Doc is a talented and prolific writer. He has published eight non-fiction books, thousands of magazine articles, short stories and an earlier novel, Plague of Terror. Doc holds a PhD in biology and is a professor emeritus from New York Institute of Technology. And on top of all that, he is a legendary surf fisherman!

Press Release-New Book
2010
Vanishing Cures
A novel by William A. Muller
An Editor’s Choice Selection

“Vanishing Cures is a great adventure, complete with strong, engaging characters; and intense, well-paced plot line, and a terrific depiction of good versus evil.”

“Organic-sounding dialogue.”

“Action-adventure enthusiasts will love the characters and the series.”

Vanishing Cures was inspired by a CBS 60 Minutes episode about Asian drug cartels selling imitations of life-saving drugs and vaccines putting millions of unsuspecting lives are at risk. Ex Navy SEALs Severin and Krueger along with an NYPD detective and the FBI who previously forged an alliance to stop a terrorist plot to disseminate deadly smallpox, now join an international sting spearheaded by the FBI, MI6, and Interpol to break the back of one cartel. Severin becomes addicted to the adrenaline rush, but his biggest challenges may found in his personal and professional relationships. Thwarted by corruption, snafus among international agencies, and a savvy opponent, the sting is threatened; Severin and Krueger are targeted as they pursue the criminals from the U.S. to Europe and back. Only time will tell if they’ll be victorious over the evil that looms.
