Historical Fiction / Medical Thriller/ Espionage
Date Published: January 1, 2024
In the era of legalized marijuana in the United States, the Chinese government has nefarious plans to exploit America's best and brightest graduate students using synthetic Hallucinogens and THC compounds. To accomplish their goal, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has partnered with a disaffected American CIA agent who was instrumental in the CIA's domestic hallucinogen experiments on American citizens known as Project MKULTRA during the Korean and Vietnam wars. The CCP have surreptitiously funded upscale cafés in each American city where marijuana has been legalized and there is an American university within walking distance of their café.
In each café, the CCP secretly adds a designer hallucinogen to the coffee. This drug opens the graduate student's minds to the power of suggestion and allows the baristas (Chinese security agents) to easily question the students for technical information concerning their graduate studies and labs. The methods used are similar to what the disaffected CIA agent learned during his MKULTRA project missions in the 1950s and 1960s. This allows the Communist Chinese to gain a head start on America's most crucial security and technological innovations.
But there is a problem. The synthetic hallucinogen is beginning to have strange effects on some students, and these effects are being noticed. A bright Israeli E.R. doctor and his wife (an addiction counselor) living and working in Burlington, Vermont, have encountered some of these students suffering from bizarre psychotic symptoms. They suspect that there is more than meets the eye in these Chinese cafés and have started investigating. If the Chinese plan is discovered, it will open the CCP up to significant charges of international terrorism against the United States. With current congressional committee hearings focused on banning Tik Tok and other Chinese technologies, the CCP will stop at nothing to prevent this from happening.
INTERVIEW
Introduce yourself and tell me about what you
do.
I am a biochemist, dentist, and photobiologist. I have patented
multiple technologies in the areas of lasers, circadian medicine, and biofilm
eradication. I am the former Chief Medical Officer of a Medical Device company
with three FDA approvals. Over the years, I have been widely published in
peer-reviewed journals such as Current Trends in Microbiology. I presently
write and deliver CE webinars for medical professionals on the subjects of
Hallucinogens and Psychedelics, Cannabis, Circadian Medicine and Opioids. Sun
Tzu’s Café is one of two novels I am currently publishing.
Tell me more about your journey as an author, including
the writing processes.
My writing history has primarily been in medical and
scientific peer-reviewed literature over the last thirty years. I am an avid
reader of authors from Steven King, to Robin Cook to Dan Brown. I also enjoy
Peter David and Diane Duane. Recently, I have decided to take a few of the
subjects that I lecture on for medical professionals and create historical
medical/thriller novels around the subject matter.
Tell me about your Book (that
you want to talk about)
I recently
became interested in the outrageous liberties that the US Government took with
American citizens during almost thirty-five years of the Psychedelic and
Hallucinogen programs that the CIA was running from 1945 through the 1970s. As
I lecture on Psychedelics and Hallucinogens, I decided to write a book and tie
the plot into today’s adversarial relationship between the US and China. Below
is a description:
In the era of
legalized marijuana in the United States, the Chinese government has nefarious
plans to exploit America's best and brightest graduate students using synthetic
Hallucinogens and THC compounds. To accomplish their goal, the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) has partnered with a disaffected American CIA agent who
was instrumental in the CIA's domestic hallucinogen experiments on American
citizens known as Project MKULTRA during the Korean and Vietnam wars. The CCP
have surreptitiously funded upscale cafés in each American city where marijuana
has been legalized and there is an American university within walking distance
of their café.
In each café, the
CCP secretly adds a designer hallucinogen to the coffee. This drug opens the
graduate student's minds to the power of suggestion and allows the baristas
(Chinese security agents) to easily question the students for technical
information concerning their graduate studies and labs. The methods used are
similar to what the disaffected CIA agent learned during his MKULTRA project
missions in the 1950s and 1960s. This allows the Communist Chinese to gain a head start on
America's most crucial security and technological innovations.
But there is a
problem. The synthetic hallucinogen is beginning to have strange effects on
some students, and these effects are being noticed. A bright Israeli E.R.

Vermont, have encountered some of these students suffering from bizarre
psychotic symptoms. They suspect that there is more than meets the eye in these

will stop at nothing to prevent this from happening.
Any message for our readers
Sun Tzu’s café is meticulously researched with 300 footnotes.
A vast amount of the sources cited in the book are Declassified CIA documents
from many years of Freedom of Information Requests (FOIA) from investigative
reporters and watchdog agencies that have researched different CIA crimes
against civilians and foreign nationals over the last century.
I have focused on the Hallucinogen and Psychedelic
experiments (The real project MK-ULTRA) and blended a story together with medical intrigue and
the current existential fight that America is in with Communist China. The
climax of the book occurs in real time, at the end of 2023, with facts and
stories ripped out of current news headlines.
5 or more quotes/oneliners from
your Book
1) It took a few moments for Qiang to read the documents. He
understood well that the government’s trump card for his acquiescence was the
protection and safety of his beloved parents in Chinatown. “It would be a shame
if there were an accident . . .” one of the soldiers had said as they arrived
at the new OSS headquarters in the Maryland forest two hours ago.
2) Haitao steeled himself and, in perfect Chinese, began
with the statement, “我们出现了问题 – We have another
problem.” The MSS agent on the phone did not like problems and, as was his
nature, spoke in simple and clipped tones, “解釋 – Explain.”
3) Now the Navy wanted Qiang to work on a project created by
a Nazi doctor based on his data from experimenting on Jews in concentration
camps? Dr. Kurt Plötner was a monster of the highest order. He felt nauseous
and focused on his vow of vengeance against America to suppress any outward
emotion.
4) In an emotional frenzy, the student swung at the MSS
agent, who deftly blocked the sloppy punch and simultaneously swept the
student’s leg at blinding speed with a Praying Mantis Kung Fu takedown. The student hit the floor hard, headfirst. It
was a perfect defensive technique, clearly learned in the Chinese People’s
Liberation Army by the MSS agent.
5) In his nightly dreams, Champlain could hear the tortured
screams of the patients in the psychiatric hospitals, unknowingly induced under
the effects of hallucinogenic substances he had administered to them for his
CIA masters.
