A great book -- definitely worth reading

I recently read a great book that I recommend highly.  Unlike most of my "AIDS" library, this one is a work of fiction.  It's the fictitious tale of what would be the largest class action suit in history -- a suit for $3 trillion on behalf of the 300,000 gay men who were killed by AZT from 1987 to 1997.  While the story is fiction, the facts presented in the trial are real and are documented in the book.  This is a real page turner.  I had a hard time putting it down.  You probably won't find this book in a book store or public library, but you can order it an any bookstore, or from Amazon, but you'll save money and help HEAL if you go to HEALAIDS.COM and follow the ordering instructions there.  The books is called "Wrongful Death: The AIDS Trial," by Stephen Davis.

You can read or listen to several chapters on line.  Check it out now, and perhaps add some comments here after you've read it.
