Pandemic!: Roger and Isabel: Book 1

A hospital pushed to the breaking point. A virus no one understands. Two clinicians trapped in a war zone wearing masks instead of armor. Pandemic! is the most realistic COVID novel written by a doctor who lived it.Pandemic! is a gripping work of medical fiction rooted in truth, written by Dr. Donald Elton, a pulmonary and critical care physician who served on the front lines of COVID-19 in Central Florida. Drawing from firsthand experience during the chaotic early months of 2020, this novel brings unmatched realism, emotional depth, and ethical tension to the story of two healthcare professionals fighting to hold the line.Roger Jackson, a newly arrived cardiologist, and Isabel Melendez, an ICU nurse temporarily reassigned from the cath lab, find themselves in the middle of an unfolding catastrophe. Infections surge. PPE disappears. Administrators guess instead of lead. Protocols collapse as fast as patients do. Inside the hospital, every shift feels like a battlefield covered in plastic, alarms, and fear.As the system begins to fail, Roger and Isabel form a connection that defies the masks, the chaos, and the grief surrounding them. Their relationship does not grow out of calm moments. It forms between emergency intubations, crashing vents, hallway triage meetings, and quick meals eaten in break rooms while the world outside argues about hoaxes, lockdowns, and blame.Raw medicine.Unfiltered crisis.A love story born in PPE.This is not a story imagined from headlines. It comes from night shifts, policy failures, and the real human cost that never made it into news clips. Names and places have been changed, but the truths remain.For readers of realistic medical drama, pandemic fiction, and character-driven stories that ask what we owe each other in crisis, Pandemic! is urgent, intimate, and unforgettable.Book 1 in the Roger and Isabel Series.Also available in Spanish and German.Read more
