And Death Will Seize the Doctor, Too by Jeremiah Swanson
CHRISTIAN THOMPSON HAD THE POWER to heal people with a touch of his hand, but in order to cure one person he first had to kill someone else.
The man he’d come to kill on this particular night was Walter Chambers. Walter Chambers made his living by robbing houses, and sometimes he wound up killing the people who lived in them.
Walter wasn’t an especially bright or talented or even cunning criminal but he did manage to get away with what he was doing for almost thirteen years before he was finally caught, tried, and sentenced to death. That sentence, as far as most people who cared to know knew, had been carried out about a half hour ago.
My Review
4 stars
Christian Thompson has the ability to save a life at deaths door. But Christian doesn’t realize that he has this ability until he finds someone that has to guide him to find his ability. The catch is that he has to take a life to do so. We find Christian trying to find someone’s life that he can give to his comatose wife. But someone doesn’t want him to. He is chased all over and people are trying to force Christian to save the lives of specific people while trying to keep him from saving the woman he loves. But along with this, Christian also suffers from guilt over an innocent life that he took.
This is an interesting story. Christian isn’t really a good guy, there is a lot of darkness in his past. He was not a happy person and thought of killing himself. But then a guy starts training him to use his powers. He is clearly human and does make some questionable and dark decisions. You might not like Christian but you will come to feel something for him.
There is a great question of if you have the ability to do something, would you do so especially if there were dire consequences. If you could heal someone would you kill another person? What if they were not as bad as you first thought? Could you keep this secret? Who would want your abilities? There are a lot of questions in this book that will make you think.
This is an enjoyable story. I really liked how it made you think about the possibilities. This is one that I recommend you check out. I think you might like it too.
