Not of This World: Frogman

Gerry Griffiths presents a narrative centered on Rex Rector, a pharmaceutical czar who exploits a crippling epidemic for corporate gain. The story follows Tad Pulaski and Ben Warton as they labor in a hidden laboratory to find a true cure for the fatal disease that grips the populace. Their work is interrupted when Rector’s henchmen raid their facility, subjecting the men to torture before leaving them for dead. The plot examines the tension between immediate, costly remedies provided by Rector and the elusive permanent solution sought by the protagonists. It draws on traditions of gothic horror and supernatural fiction to explore themes of medical tyranny and human resilience against an evil tyrant. The narrative structure focuses on the desperate efforts of Tad and Ben as they confront the possibility that infected individuals may be eternally doomed without intervention. This book suits readers who enjoy stories of corporate greed intersecting with biological threats. It appeals to those interested in character-driven plots involving scientific struggle against authoritarian power. Readers seeking lighthearted tales or purely historical accounts will likely find this dark, intense narrative unsuitable for their tastes.
