de Legione Romanorum X Gemina (1885)

In his second novel, Guyanese-American author and poet Pablo unveils a compelling and inspiring narrative of his personal journey through five myocardial infarctions and two major flares of Behcetas syndrome, a rare auto-immune disease with no known cause or cure. Highly motivated and ambitious, Pablo is well on his way to fulfilling his dream of becoming a pharmaceutical marketing executive when fate deals him a cruel hand. Strange symptoms suddenly appear and disappear with disturbing frequency. His doctors have no answers as the symptoms spiral out of control, culminating in multiple hospitalizations and surgeries. Through it all, and with the love and support of his wife and family, Pablo perseveres and weathers the storm, emerging on the other side, a better husband, father, son and friend. Ultimately, Pabloas medical background, wit and poetic flair combine to produce an informative, engaging and fascinating tale of persistence and reinvention in the face of overwhelming odds.
