The dedication page of William Cutrer and Sandra Glahn?s third novel, False Positive, seems to state their mission: ?Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Proverbs 31:8.? Not only do the authors speak up for unborn babies, but they also speak for infertile women, mothers caught with impossible choices, and doctors facing ethical decisions. They cause the reader to think, and perhaps to speak up, too.The typical reader, however, will whiz right past the dedication, not even notice the mission, and be thrust into the action. Within the first three pages, the main character, second year medical resident, Red Richison, a nice red-haired Christian from Garland, has delivered a premature baby and created his own ethical nightmare. Various sub-plots surface greed and selfishness, along with pain and fear, and love and romance among the various characters who work in a hospital, in an abortion clinic, and in a pro-life pregnancy resource center. By creating real people grappling with moral and ethical dilemmas as well as everyday emotions, the authors have produced a compelling medical suspense thriller you won?t put down. A great summer read. Positively Riviting

Dr. Cutrer Sandra Glahn have produced another real page turner. Once I got started, I could not put it down. The characters are captivating and real to life, the story gripping, and their treatment of the subject matter thought provoking. We live in a day that minimizes the value of human life, especially the unborn. Despite what many proclaim, abortion carries a price far beyond that of taking the life of an innocent unborn child. This book explores various aspects of this hotly debated topic, including the lasting effects abortion has on women long after the ?procedure? has been completed. As well, implications for the medical community are explored, including ethics as well as research aspects associated with premature birth survival. The focus on the value of human life, from the moment of conception, is refreshing. Whether pro-life or pro-choice, this is a book for the day.

"False Positive" is the third in the bioethics series by writing team William Cutrer and Sandra Glahn. In this novel, resident Dr. Red Richison finds himself in a romantic relationship with clinic counselor Bethany Fabrizio, and together they uncover the sordid and crooked schemes going on at the abortion clinic run by Dr Ophion. Here's what you can expect from this book:1. ROMANCE: This novel is primarily a love story, and somewhat of a tacky one at that. Sure it is sweet, and some will love it, but I found it overly sappy, and to me it felt much like a secular romance (e.g. the focus on looks, fragrances, kissing etc), minus the immorality.2. MEDICINE: There's a lot of medical jargon, and since the story focuses on obstetrics and gynecology, expect quite a bit of medical terminology and detail about childbirth and complications before and afterwards.3. SUSPENSE: The medical world is the backdrop of a thriller type story. At times it was a little predictable, but overall the plot was handled reasonably well, and kept me turning the pages.4. CHRISTIAN ETHICS: The authors are Christian, and so they present a very pro-life perspective on human life, which I appreciated. The evils of abortion are clearly portrayed, although the characters who support abortion in this novel are shown as evil in almost every respect, perhaps unrealistically so.Overall this is a decent book, with a story line that has enough suspense to keep you reading, but it's perhaps not as strong as their other novels. Like them, the romantic element here is overdone, but it has enough redemptive qualities due to the thoughtful message about ethics that make it worth reading. - GODLY GADFLY
