In addition to PK textbooks, I also wrote a book series of Stories Behind the Drugs that Changed the World;  so far, I have released two books in this series. Book #1 is “Magic Bullets and Beyond” (Amazon link: click here). Like a time machine, this entertaining and educational drug history book will carry you to the past so that you can:

◆ Meet a successful charlatan who sold his secret recipe to King Louis XIV of France with 2,000 gold livre (a huge fortune in the 17th century).

◆ Travel with an unlucky adventurer and his faithful servant in mid-19th century in the rainforest’s dense jungles of the Andes mountains to find a cure for an ancient disease.

◆ See the mosquitoes with spotted wings which took millions of lives.

◆Witness bright garments flooded the streets and everyone dressed like royalty from 1850s onwards, all of which was made possible because of an accidental discovery made by an 18-year-old teenager.

◆ Meet a scientific genius who used his magic bullet to successfully cure one of the most feared diseases in Europe for several centuries.

◆ Witness how one miracle drug was discovered in 1928 after an incredible chain of serendipitous events took place in succession.

◆ Meet three talented but quirky scientists who worked together and turned a mysterious mold into a wonder drug during World War II.

To keep readers engaged, I intentionally kept each story short and the book thin. This book (“Magic Bullets and Beyond”) is book 1 of the series of stories behind the drugs that changed the world.

Book 2, “The Unforgettables” is available at Amazon.
Book 3, “Double-Edged Swords” (release date: TBD).
