Tragedy on the basketball court. From the credible medical fiction writer, Dr. Barbara Ebel, the fourth Dr. Danny Tilson novel - Secondary Impact - makes its debut.

Neurosurgeon Danny Tilson is engrossed in a college basketball game when a player gets knocked down, slamming his head on the court. The athlete is his daughter's boyfriend and after suffering a second blow to his head he lies in a coma.

"Danny faces multiple obstacles as he takes care of the guy his daughter loves," Ebel mentions. "His own daughter questions his neurosurgical methods and his old nemesis, Rachel, is plotting avidly against him. At the crux of the medical issue is whether or not existing treatment for certain head injuries is good enough. Can Danny develop new technology... something so revolutionary it could improve patient care after traumatic head injuries forever?"

The Midwest Book Review states:
"By now it should be evident to prior fans that the words 'Dr. Danny Tilson novel' actually promise a medical story well on par with the best works of Robin Cook and other notables; ...

"'Secondary Impact' isn't just about the outcome of a sports injury or a creative surgeon's abilities: it's about the outcomes of many stormy relationships and, ultimately, about new life and new beginnings ...

"Powered by solid protagonists, a touch of intrigue, and a host of complex interpersonal relationships, the novel stays true to its characters throughout and is highly recommended ..."

Dr. Barbara's Danny Tilson novels can each stand alone but the characters are best appreciated by reading them in succession. The books are: Operation Neurosurgeon (Book One); Silent Fear: a Medical Mystery (Book Two - also an audiobook); and Collateral Circulation: a Medical Mystery (Book Three - also an audiobook).

Barbara Ebel's series takes place in Tennessee, where she currently lives in a protected wildlife corridor with her husband and pets. She has also written and illustrated a children's book series about her therapy dog titled Chester the Chesapeake, another novel - Outcome, A Novel - and a health book, Younger Next Decade.

"Secondary Impact" can be found as an eBook on Amazon.com, B&N Nook, Kobo and most online retailers. It is also a paperback on Amazon.com and will be available like her other books on Overdrive, etc. for major libraries.
