Biotech researcher Sarah Brenalen is frustrated by her boss’ dismissal of her controversial theory, so she secretly injects lab mice with experimental Alzheimer’s drugs of her own design. She’s stunned when one of her experiments goes horribly wrong. But Marcel and his international cabal are intrigued. Her brain-destroying T-3 could be just what they need.

Fade to Blue is a high-tech, fast-paced, cat-and-mouse game played for keeps. What Marcel didn’t count on is that two can play this game.

Hank Scheer's writing journey began during a work break at the USS-Posco steel mill when a coworker said, "Hey, let's write a short story."

He remembered that a production line had stopped running because a computer lost its memory and said, “ How about this: a scientist creates a drug that destroys a person’ s brain.” Now it was a simple matter of plotting the story and writing it.

Hank is now retired and lives in Martinez, California. He enjoys writing and recording music, world travel, biking, downhill skiing, and supporting other working people fighting for a better world.
