“THE NADJIK PHEROMONE” IS POISED TO BE THE NATION’S NEXT BIG THRILLER
The bio-chemical breath analysis lie detection test at the center of this story could be just years away

MONTEREY, Calif. – In the tradition of books by John Grisham and Dan Brown comes “The Nadjik Pheromone,” the fast-paced tale of a war correspondent who inspires tomorrow's irrefutable "GC-MS" bio-chemical breath analysis lie detector.

Blending fiction with scientific fact, the thriller chronicles war correspondent Michael Wolfson and a truth technology capable of analyzing and detecting bio-chemical markers in human breath created during the commission of a lie. The technology offers unprecedented opportunities for power – and for corruption – and “The Nadjik Pheromone” follows Wolfson as he battles authorities and rebels alike to protect the stability of corporations, governments and, ultimately, the world.

Author Michael Hemp’s premise is a realistic one, say leading forensic gas chromatography-mass spectrometry experts. Dr. Brian Andresen, former director of forensic science at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, penned the novel’s epilogue. He calls such a verifiable scientific lie detection technology “only a matter of time.”

“What is new in the premise of ‘The Nadjik Pheromone’ is the search for the specific bio-chemical fingerprints for the human act of lying,” says Andresen. “The futuristic lie detector technology of breath and pore analysis technology may soon be a reality for all of us.”

“My goal with ‘The Nadjik Pheromone’ is to entertain as well as communicate. We’re looking at truth technology that has the potential of bringing about a tyranny of truth, and application of this technology would change business, politics and culture overnight,” adds Hemp.

Hemp’s readers see the connections between his book and current best sellers, as well.

"John Grisham is one of my all time favorites. When I read ‘The Nadjik Pheromone,’ I could not resist the thought that this book, too, leads one deeper and deeper into the story, as do the Grisham tales,” wrote one reader on Hemp’s website.

Earlier this year, "The Nadjik Pheromone” was named a finalist in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards presented by the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group. It was also a National Best Book Awards 2009 Finalist in fiction. The novel was published by The History Company.

Readers can order signed and dedicated first-edition copies of “The Nadjik Pheromone” at www.TheNadjikPheromone.com. The book is also available, in print and digital versions, through Amazon.com, where it boasts a five-star rating. Ask for “The Nadjik Pheromone” at your favorite bookstore.


About “The Nadjik Pheromone”
In his quest to expose torture, corruption and crimes against humanity, fictional war correspondent Michael Wolfson stumbles upon a scientific discovery with unprecedented implications: a lie detection technology that detects and analyzes bio-chemical markers in human breath created during the commission of a lie. The discovery drags Wolfson into a power struggle that threatens the stability of corporations, governments and, indeed, the whole world. In the novel’s epilogue, Dr. Brian Andresen, former director of forensic science at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, discusses just how close today’s scientists are to discovering this truth technology – and invites readers to consider the consequences.
