By: Frank G. Slaughter

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Novel of the American Civil War David Preston was an officer in the U. S. Army—before Virginia seceded from the Union. Then, with most of his fellow Virginians, he offered himself in the service of the Confederacy . . . Assigned to Col. T. J. Jackson's 1st brigade, at Harper's Ferry, he quickly began applying the expertise in military medicine he had gained as an observer with Garibaldi's forces in Italy. He'd met Abe Lincoln once, in Washington. Now he was to encounter the likes of J. E. B. Stuart, the dashing cavalry commander, Robert E. Lee, Jubal Early, and especially Stonewall Jackson—that puzzling blend of professor, Bible scholar, and dazzling military genius. David was to follow Jackson through all his campaigns—right up to the last one, at Chancellorsville, where a stray bullet ended the great general's life. And David was then to see the Confederate cause gallantly go down to defeat as Grant's armies closed their iron circle around Richmond. But always in the back of David's mind was Araminta, the Cherokee woman he would marry if he survived the war. She was caught up in the political intrigues over the fate of the Cherokee nation after the war, and her Southern sympathies led her to take chances which endangered her safety, and perhaps her life . . . Human tragedies interweave and blend with the broad sweep of military maneuvers, in this large-scale historical novel about the men who fought with Stonewall Jackson during the Great War of Secession.

Pilgrims in Paradise

By: Frank G. Slaughter

It was a cold winter day in the England of 1647, and Paul Sutton, a young doctor, began to feel the lure of the tropics. But when he signed on as medical officer to a shipload of pilgrims bound for the Bahamas, the beckoning attractions spelled far more than escape—for Paul knew that the pilgrims' leader, his own brother, was a religious fanatic. Throughout the journey, Paul tried to help and understand his brother, Silas, for he knew the resolve that motivated the Puritan band to seek a new home. But despite his efforts, Paul soon found himself enveloped in the torment of a deep and forbidden love for the beautiful Anne Trevor, his brother's fiancée. PILGRIMS IN PARADISE, with its remarkable portrait of a religious zealot bent on carrying the cause of the non-conformists to the New World, of the settlement and incipient rebellion against Silas' iron rule, of bigotry, superstition and passion, of war and trial for life, is rewarding and realistic reading—another in Frank G. Slaughter's long line of successful novels.

Fort Everglades

By: Frank G. Slaughter

Violence, passion and murder in the savage swamplands of Florida Only one man could quench his thirst for blood . . . . And as Roy watched Chittamicco's canoe advance, he knew he was that man. It would be a duel to the death—two hate-filled men armed with spears that killed at a thrust. As Roy steeled himself to strike first, the Indian bent into his dugout, then came up with a woman struggling in his arms. Roy was paralyzed by sudden fear. The woman was Mary, the girl he loved! Before Roy could spring, Chittamicco, with a mighty heft of his shoulders, lifted Mary on one extended palm. Then with a violent thrust he tossed her limp body into the swirling water.

The Purple Quest

By: Frank G. Slaughter

A turbulent story of violence, desire, and intrigue in ancient Phoenicia. Straton, royal descendant of a past ruling house, watched as his native land—the great Phoenician port city of Tyre—was torn apart by intrigues within the government. Called home from his voyages, Straton saw young King Pygmalion yielding to the degenerate influences of an evil stranger. His love for Hera and the jealousy of Queen Elissa obscured by the turmoil that threatened to destroy them all, Straton tried to heal the rifts within Tyre. The treasure he had carried home from a distant island—the Dragon's Blood—promised to bring great wealth to the city and to unite the people. But as the Phoenicians struggled with their fears and superstitions, their Abyssinian enemies prepared for war. With the clash of swords and the thrust of spears, The Purple Quest builds to an exciting climax as blood flows in the city of Tyre and on the ships that for five hundred years had carried the Phoenicians to the farthest corners of the ancient world.

Doctor's Daughters

By: Frank G. Slaughter

Each time the "Great God Malone" stepped into the operating room, the world anticipated another miraculous breakthrough in heart surgery. Only two things remained to crown his enormous success: the arrival at the prestigious Malone Heart Institute of a test candidate for his revolutionary artificial heart, and the birth of a legitimate son to bear his name. Theo Malone won’t yield his power to anyone, especially to his three beautiful daughters, all successful doctors in their own right. But they've got enough drive to make it on their own. Lynn, actually a greater surgeon than her father, is torn between the man she loves and the father she hates, and her twin, Lisa, has proven herself the equal of her egotistical parent in both the fields of medicine and romance. Young Laurel, meanwhile, antagonizes Malone by helping to prevent the spread of an epidemic, inadvertently uncovering a scandal that could ruin his reputation forever. A skillful probe into the highly dramatic inner workings of large city hospitals, DOCTOR'S DAUGHTERS once again shows Frank G. Slaughter to be the peerless master of the medical novel.

Code Five

By: Frank G. Slaughter

Dr. Jud Tyler had almost decided that it had been a mistake to come back to Framingham, and his first sight of the old hospital building—in an advanced stage of dilapidation—only strengthened that conviction. But waiting inside those grimy walls was a world Dr. Tyler had never known, and Dr. Tyler's confrontation with it would leave them both profoundly changed forever. Some of the people in that world: Chuck Rogers: Jud Tyler's Army Chaplain in Vietnam, now fighting another kind of war in a slum hospital. Asa Ford: the Superintendent of St. Luke's Hospital whose ethics have slipped so far that he is about to fall over them. Samantha Fellowes: rich, young, beautiful divorcee whose need for a doctor has nothing to do with medicine. Eric Cates: a voice of reason among the town's black militants who is willing to pay his debt to the white man who made his education possible—even when it puts him in danger. Kathryn Galloway: beautiful, red-haired nurse whose super-efficiency hides a heart bruised once too often in the game of love. Angus Claiborne: millionaire slum-lord, who is just about to discover how expensive sub-standard housing can be—to the owner. These are some of the people who help make Frank Slaughter's novel a fascinating, dramatic excursion into some of the simmering situations that threaten to explode in cities all across the nation. CODE FIVE FRANK G. SLAUGHTER "Code Five! Code Five!" The man at the head of the stretcher shouted and his words signalled the gravest of all emergency conditions—cardiac arrest. But the words might well have been sounded for St. Luke's Hospital itself—overcrowded, understaffed, run-down, a veritable dumping ground for all the city's charity cases—for her heart also seemed to have stopped. Only one man had any hope for her future, and that hope was centered on a bitter, war-wounded, unhappy surgeon with crippled hands.

In a Dark Garden

By: Frank G. Slaughter

In 1862, having completed his medical studies in Europe, Julian Chisholm finds himself in Glasgow, penniless, but determined to return home and offer his skill as a surgeon to the cause of the Confederacy. Through a cynical, happy-go-lucky gambler he meets lovely Jane Anderson, widow of a Confederate army officer, who needs a husband badly if she is to return to Georgia to fight for her estates. She offers Julian the price of his passage if he will marry her, and he accepts, hoping that marriage will drive away his constantly recurring thoughts of beautiful, shameless Lucy Sprague who had rejected him three years before for an untrustworthy but wealthy Yankee senator. Once in the Confederacy, Julian plunges into the hazardous work of an army field surgeon as he tries to forget both Lucy and Jane, in whom his interest has deepened. On the bloody battlefields of Vicksburg and Chickamauga he performs delicate under-fire operations, oblivious of his personal safety and concerned only with the lives of the wounded under his knife. There are detailed and accurate descriptions of Julian at work, from the scene at the primitive base hospital where he saves an adolescent boy with a dangerous head injury to the night in a sumptuous mansion where he makes medical history when he removes an appendix as a cure for typhlitis. As we follow Julian through rapidly shifting scenes of action, Jane and Lucy again cross his path and disturb his loyalties. How he resolves his personal conflict and makes his final choice between love and duty is the climax of this dramatic story of a doctor in the Civil War.

Doctors' Wives

Doctors' Wives

By: Frank G. Slaughter

Doctors' Wives' Disease is not an imaginary ailment. For, in the closed, inbred society of a great medical center, these women, the wives of superbly successful physicians, are driven by loneliness, boredom, and frustration along forbidden pathways. And alcohol, drugs, and promiscuity become their alternatives to despair. A radio bulletin tears the camouflage from the apparent prosperous tranquility of the community: "A prominent Weston physician has just shot and killed his wife. A man, with the victim at the time and identified only as another doctor, was also seriously wounded." Five doctors' wives hear the announcement, and each one of them comes with despair and terror to realize that her husband, himself, just might be involved in the scandal—either as philanderer or killer. Where has trust gone? And where is love? Beneath this scandalous and passionate picture of human weakness, is a tale, perhaps even more striking: and that is Dr. Slaughter's brilliant, minute, expert's picture of the urgent business of an ultramodern hospital. His descriptions—in fascinating detail—of a heart operation and a brain operation, are breathtakingly suspenseful, and based on the most advanced medical and surgical knowledge.

Plague Ship

By: Frank G. Slaughter

From the Author of Code Five, Doctor's Wives, and Doctor's Daughters High in the Andes Mountains of Peru, an archaeologist stumbles upon an ancient tomb, unwittingly releasing the germs from a civilization doomed by a plague over 5,000 years ago. What happens when this deadly organism, for which there is no antidote, reappears, forms the basis of this sensational novel by the author of Code Five. This is the story of one man in particular—Dr. Grant Reed and the dedicated crew of the international hospital ship Mercy, as they set about the task of quarantining the first victims of a hideous plague. Set adrift by frightened Peruvians, the aging and crippled ship faces a hurricane, mutinous patients, and even a pair of great white sharks, grisly mascots of a ship of death. . . . Frank Slaughter here takes on one of the most important and exciting subjects to be found among his novels—the complex, high-stakes world of interglobal medicine, taking us behind the public deeds to the private people whose courage can make the difference between today's flus . . . and tomorrow's headlines. This is one of Frank Slaughter's finest medical suspense stories, a superbly thrilling tale based on some all-too- real possibilities.
