A Pound of Cure Robert Churchill Feist

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." - Benjamin Franklin - A Pound of Cure begins with the innocence of a brilliant boy who develops a cure for cancer. At an early age he reaches the pinnacle of achievements. No one must live through the torture of chemotherapy and radiation. Nobody needs to watch their loved one's waste away. The people who can afford to pay for the cure are thrilled. They are now rid of the greatest plague of this century. However, over time the cure gains strength as it protects the body's cells from infection. This results in chaos. Anyone who took the cure can no longer take any form of medication. No heart medicine, no diabetes drugs, and no surgeries. This results in hospitals closing, insurance companies declaring bankruptcy and pharmaceutical firms shuttering. As society falls apart there is one man, who with the help of a secret society, might be able to bring us back from revolution. The question that he needs to answer is if an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
