Overview
Dr. Arthur Noble is a brilliant first-year medical resident in San Francisco, who has a stellar career ahead of him. However, all of Noble’s skills are put to the test when he encounters a strange new illness. The ailment seemingly appears out of nowhere, and serves its victims a most horrible and brutal death. Noble struggles to find answers to the medical mystery, even as many researchers and society refuse to believe it is a serious threat, or that it even exists. 1980 is an authentic medical story about a disease that will eventually have an unimaginable impact on the entire world.
Description

"1980 is a fascinating read…that gets to the heart of one of the most frightening mysteries of modern medicine. Medical professionals will find it fascinating and the general public, compelling.”  - A&U Magazine, America's AIDS Magazine

"5 Stars". "1980: The Emergence of HIV is a wholly engrossing novel that brings the evolution of a long misunderstood and stigmatizing virus to the forefront. Delivered with an adept narrative that renders a sophisticated story with complex medical terms comfortable, David Cornish, MD writes with a skill reminiscent of Michael Crichton, blending factual events with fictional characters in a brilliant novel. The characters are all deeply developed and heavily layered, with just enough tension on each page to keep the level of suspense high despite knowing (to a certain degree) how the technical aspects of the story ends. I loved every page of this book and would award it a whole bucket of stars if that were possible."  - Reader's Favorite
