"Fuses crime thriller and medical thriller." –IndieReader

When Derrick Daniels, Justice Department attorney, reluctantly investigates the possibility that rogue Arab states developed deadly diseases as a terrorist weapon against the United States, assassins and inexplicable forces threaten his existence. Soon, the powers of ancient law collide with contemporary villainy threatening the fate of all humankind. Every living thing is at risk, from wild animals that become road kill to the most elite members of every society. Is widespread violence random, or is there a combination of unrelated plots conspiring to bring an end to the idyllic life that used to define the American way?

Review

If you are not squeamish and love a well-crafted apocalyptic novel, you'll love "The Divine Affliction" by Robert M. Fleisher. "Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real," a Jules Vern quote that I can only hope won't ever apply to the scenarios presented by Fleisher.

Dr. Fleisher has a BA in psychology and a D.M.D. from Temple University. He then earned a specialty certification in Endodontics at the University of Pennsylvania. After building the largest endodontic practice in his tri-state area, he left practice to devote time to his passion for writing. He has published a number of self-help books. He now has two more non-fiction titles for 2016: FROM WAITING ROOM to COURTROOM – HOW DOCTORS CAN AVOID BEING SUED (Jay Pee Medical Book Publishers, February 2016), and THE SEXLESS MARRIAGE FIX, (Turner Publishing, August 23, 2016). Dr. Fleisher is now excited about his second novel, THE AMERICAN STRANGLER (Black Rose Writing, September 17th, 2020). His debut novel THE DIVINE AFFLICTION (Black Rose Writing) was released September, 27th 2018.

Dr. Fleisher has had the opportunity to treat over thirty-thousand patients in his career. While his practice was the dental specialty of endodontics, he also writes extensively on aging and relationships. As an Examiner.com journalist he wrote a column on Internet dating, the basis of his 2018 release, DATING AGAIN - A GUIDE TO DATING JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE (Uphill Publishing, April 2018). He developed and wrote an interactive course based on his book, BEDSIDE MANNER: HOW TO GAIN YOUR PATIENTS' RESPECT, LOVE AND LOYALTY, (Uphill Publishing, 2010), which he teaches to his residents at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia via blog at: www.blog.bedsidemanner.info. Dr. Fleisher has authored numerous articles for professional publications and has lectured nationally.

Derrick Daniels goes beyond his duties as a lawyer when he becomes involved in thwarting a riveting plot to destroy the United States from within involving THE DIVINE AFFLICTION, a dangerous memory-altering form of biological warfare.

Derrick is forced to journey to the Middle East to head an investigation for the Justice Department, where he uncovers an international conspiracy that could wipe out the entire population. Will he unearth the secrets of the memory-altering attack that threaten to bring the nation to its knees? Or will he fall victim to the violence that has engulfed his life?

The plot of THE DIVINE AFFLICTION—the intrigue of a biological threat against the United States—naturally lends itself to the mystery/suspense genre and feels particularly topical in our post-9/11 world.

In the end, THE DIVINE AFFLICTION is very much worth reading. The story moves along, the main character connects with the reader, and the author's gift for dialogue and pacing constantly ramp up the tension in proper thriller fashion.

Scary, disturbing, exciting suspense thriller, which will keep you wondering who the bad guys are! And are there any good guys at all in this world? This novel is covering a variety of scenarios and different political, financial, medical, theological, and human issues. Well worth reading!

Definitely left me wanting, didn't really end. This seemed more like a religious novel masquerading as a techno-science thriller.

As a person with nearly terminal ADD I generally have trouble reading a book without my mind drifting onto other subjects. Divine Affliction was gripping and intense at times with very real, and scary scenarios that make one shutter at the thought that it could happen in real life. While reading chapter 10 my smart watch showed my "resting" heart rate in the mid 90s (low 50s is my norm). I have read a few fiction books but none as riveting, and compelling to complete as the Divine Affliction. I have recommended this to my friends and we discussed the deep meaning of the ending which is brilliantly masked as a quick, semi-complete ending during light reading. Upon re-reading the ending and discussing we were able to understand the personal message that exists for each reader's individual interpretation. Well written book and I will look forward to additional fiction books from Dr. Fleisher. After reading the book I watched Amazon's Jack Ryan which is very similar yet less intense. A VERY entertaining read worth more than the price of the book!

This is one of those "Hmmm.. Could it be true?" types of books. Some parts are bordering on the sci-fi stereotype (characters in spandex suits) and therefore a bit less credible, but on the whole, worth your time.

Riveting! Since my time is very limited, I'm very skeptical that a book will be worthy of a full read. Not only did this story far exceed my expectations, I enjoyed it so much that I will read it again after letting some time pass... a first for me. If you like intrigue, believable character roles and vivid story telling, you will like The Divine Affliction. This book would make a great movie, but I'm completely satisfied just reading the book. I hope the author, Robert Fleisher, has more like this planned.

I thought this book was progressing at an interesting rate but somehow I got lost at the end to be honest I'm sorry I spent this much time finishing the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Weirdest Books I've Ever Read
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019

The way this book begins takes the story in one way that veers into another way by it's end. It was so readable throughout. The end isn't what seemed to be developing at the beginning. The characters were rich and multidimensional. But I'm not a big fan of a story written by what appears to be a group of authors.
