It is a moment in the near future when the global threat
of terror has cultivated rage, apathy, and panic across
the country. People fear that “anybody could be armed, or
have a bomb. Or a disease. Or all three.” For Phil, a
dermatologist at the UCLA hospital, it is a time of unease
and uncertainty, in stark contrast to the days when he
coasted through life on his good looks, a modicum of
charm, and only haphazard effort. Now Phil must deal with
his mother, Edith, who’s been grieving over the death of
her husband for several years and only recently has
thought to reconnect with a family that seems to have
other priorities. Phil’s energies are already divvied up
among his belligerent children, his wayward wife, and his
unreliable mistress.
Then Phil’s life takes a
dramatic turn: He is recruited for a top-secret team whose
task is to act quickly in the event of a biological or
chemical attack. The assignment just may provide him with
a renewed sense of purpose. Yet dire circumstances force
Phil to make profound decisions that will affect not just
himself and his loved ones but the entire country. It is a
chance for an ordinary man to rise from mediocrity to
heroism–and at which failure would prove to be
catastrophic.
Foreboding and all too plausible,
There Will Never Be Another You is a cautionary
novel of family and society, where a naïve past is
replaced by a menacing future in which distinguishing
between reality and imagination proves to be more
challenging than ever
