{"product_id":"2940016167213","title":"The Fisherman's Stamp","description":"The 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan inflamed worldwide fears of nuclear contamination. Governments refocused attention on experimental medications to protect humans from radiation damage. U.S. biotech companies backed by grants from the Pentagon led the field. Their efforts were bogged down in promising trials with lab animals, which chronically failed in humans. Meanwhile, in Bordeaux, France, the freak discovery of a retired nuclear power worker with a suspected natural resistance to nuclear radiation offered the prospect of a dramatic breakthrough. As word of the discovery spread, danger closed in. Which competitors from as far afield as London, Tel Aviv, Tehran, and Pittsburgh were behind the abductions, thefts of scientific material, and patent disputes blocking the French effort? Ultimately the genetic mysteries behind the discovery were much more complex than anyone imagined, threatening to destroy all efforts at a solution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIan Greenham was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. After law school, he worked with one of Australia's leading commercial law firms, specializing in trade practices and environmental protection law. Leaving the law for the country's diplomatic service, he was in the Australian High Commission in Port Moresby soon after Papua New Guinea's independence, when he was recruited by a major U.S. bank. Assignments over the thirty years since in Sydney, Hong Kong, London, and New York revealed the seamy side of corporate financial life that colors the gripping reality of subplots in The Fisherman's Stamp. He currently lives in New York, close to his favorite venue in the city, Carnegie Hall. His companion is a native of Bordeaux, where they travel regularly. His daughter is a budding artist in New York and his son a neurology student.","brand":"Dog Ear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169780252912,"sku":"2940016167213","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016167213_p0.jpg?v=1763630094","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016167213","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
