Tuesday, May 22nd, 2018 Timothy Browne 5 Comments

Hi All, Publishing a book is just plain hard work. Writing the story is only the first step of the journey. In order to have a quality finished product, it takes many hands and eyes!! I’m always amazed at how many times my team of editors can read a story and still we miss edits. […]

“Thoughtful, clever, and beautifully written!” Jenifer Ruff USA Today Best-Selling Author
"Dr Tim Browne has done it again. This time with a different genre of literature. The Book of Andy is a delightful departure from Tim’s superb medical thriller four book series. This book depicts the life of a young man who fulfills the saying 'If I didn’t have bad luck I’d have no luck at all.' It’s filled with humor, romance, and a wonderful ending. May be his best work to date!!" William Brown, MD
“The Gene is a masterful, thought-provoking blend of cutting-edge genetics, gut-wrenching history, and inspiring faith wrapped inside a smart thriller that will keep you turning the pages long past your bedtime.” Jenifer Ruff USA Today Best Selling Author
“Genetic modification research is a relevant, current issue that raises serious ethical concerns, and Dr. Tim Browne deals with it in The Gene in an intriguing and fascinating way bringing insights into the story through his wealth of medical knowledge. What makes his thrillers stand out, though, is the very real way that his characters struggle with their humanity while wrestling with a crisis of faith, yet through their pain find peace and acceptance of God’s grace which enables them to live life to the fullest. This speaks to us in a very personal way and makes this novel a thought-provoking read.” Rev. Duane & Joan Huie Pastors, Livingston Montana
“The Gene is a must-read for any medical thrill fan—packed with suspense and full of fascinating current genetic medical science and in-depth historical research that is sure to make the New York Best Seller list.” William J Brown, MD Brown Integrative Wellness
“Beginning with the Nazi’s monstrous human experimentation during WW2, Timothy Browne shapes historical fact into contemporary fiction. Grounded in genetic research, The Gene is a disturbingly believable yet irresistible page-turner. Expect to hold your breath as Dr. Nicklaus Hart must try to keep an evil history from repeating itself.” Karen Sargent author Waiting for Butterflies, 2017 IAN Book of the Year
“The Gene, another masterful medical thriller by Timothy Browne, MD, explores the dangers of genetic science and the oh-so human motives of those who fund it. This compelling page-turner is full of twists, turns, and ethical dilemmas that keep the reader guessing. Advances in genetics, like many other fields of science, can be used for good or evil. The Gene will haunt you. I read it non-stop.” Joni M. Fisher author of the Compass Crimes
“Scientist and physician Tim Browne has brought us a complex story of the atrocities of World War II that includes details of unspeakable medical experiments, the science of eugenics, and nightmares of Nazi Germany. He has raised our awareness of issues that surround genetic mutation. Most of all, Dr. Browne has introduced us to the good and questionable elements of gene therapy, possibly one of the most powerful and potential slippery, controversial slopes in modern medicine. Should we mess with someone’s DNA? Should we change who we were born to be? Decide for yourself in this masterful story of controversy and hope that stresses our faith, values, and ethical limits of right and wrong.” Judith Lucci, PhD USA Today and WSJ Best selling author
Magnificent stories, skillfully crafted... Don Stephens Founder of Mercy Ships
Dr. Browne intelligently weaves his own experiences into the story, with his precise descriptions of both humanitarian work and medical science vivid sources of narrative authenticity. Kirkus
What could be better than a medical thrillers written by a physician? Not since COMA by Robin Cook, and The Andromeda Strain by Michael Chrichton, have I been this excited about medical thrillers. Joni Fisher Author
Dr. Tim transported me to the mission field through the eyes of compassion. Frank Cummings Senior Pastor of Life for the Nations
Dr. Timothy Browne draws from extensive international experience as an orthopedic surgeon to write a story filled with intrigue and authenticity. Jack Minton Co-Founder and President of Hope Force International
When I open a Timothy Browne novel, I expect a compelling storyline driven by relentless suspense that will transport me to a new world where evil is exposed and hope endures. Chapter by chapter, The Rusted Scalpel exceeded my expectations again...and again...and again. My favorite book in the series so far, Dr. Nicklaus Hart is at his best--and so is Timothy Browne. Karen Sargent author of Waiting for Butterflies, 2017 IAN Book of the Year
Fantastic…a story woven with intrigue, suspense and romance. Browne gives us full-throttle exploration into the human brain, big pharma, and the ancient rainforest of the headhunting Iban. I loved every minute of this riveting adventure. Don Stephens Founder of Mercy Ships
This is the finest story in the Nicklaus Hart series of medical thrillers. Dr. Tim has the background as an orthopedic surgeon and as a medical missionary to write vivid thrillers set in the remote and forbidding ends of the earth. This taut, suspenseful medical thriller draws the reader from Montana to exotic Singapore, to India, and to the remote areas of Borneo once known as the land of the headhunters. The memorable characters drive the story from one man’s struggle into the broader human battle between good and evil. Goodness and seductive evil reveal themselves slowly from the gray areas, one decision at a time, to the breath-taking conclusion. Joni Fisher author of the Compass Crimes Series
Browne’s trilogy offers a fast paced, roller coaster ride with plenty of romantic soul-searching along the way. The author has lived his novels and skillfully mixes internal and external struggles, mystical aspects of faith v. reality, international political intrigues, and current issues such as the collapse of modern medical practice under the heavy influence of the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, he offers details most novelists would miss – details that enrich the dangers and near-death encounters the characters experience and offer glimpses into the masculine mind surrendering to love. Julia Loren author of the Shifting Shadow of Spiritual Experiences Series
Easily the best of the Dr. Hart thrillers, "The Rusted Scalpel" can be read as a stand-alone book without having read the first two books. If you're familiar with IQ and EQ, I would add a third component...SQ (spiritual quotient). I literally felt myself growing significantly in all three areas while reading. My IQ was challenged as I learned about the human brain and how it operates and can be manipulated for good or evil designs. My IQ also grew from learning about cultures outside of my own. My EQ was fascinated as I tried to anticipate the consequences of various decisions being made by the key players such as Nick, Maggie, Wright, Robert, etc. and how they would play out. And finally, my SQ was stretched as I realized in a greater way that no matter how much IQ or EQ any person has, without being rightly attuned to God and connected to Him, we will never discover our true north. Read this book and you will grow in IQ, EQ and SQ and be grateful for having taken the time for personal growth while being entertained and challenged along the journey! Glenn Price YWAM Missionary
Browne’s best work yet! I work as an integrative physician where we deal with both acute and chronic neuro-psychological issues. Dr. Browne's latest book delves into complex neurotransmitter chemistry in a way that is both intriguing and factual. The storyline is woven through threads of deception, romance, murder, and emergency surgery. Anyone who loves medical thrillers will want to read The Rusted Scalpel. — William J Brown, MD Brown Integrative Wellness
A cleverly woven tale of intrigue, science and redemption. Maya Hope is both interesting and captivating. Sydney M. Amazon Reviewer
Excellent writing, gripping story, superb emotional relay... Dr. Browne has obviously written from his personal expertise and history. Dave P. Amazon Reviewer
This book was a page-turner from the start! Sarah Amazon Reviewer
A captivating story—interwoven with history and thought provoking current issues, all told under the backdrop of a massive natural disaster that unfolds as an entertaining page-turner with a message of hope and redemption. Don Stephens Founder of Mercy Ships
Tree of Life is a riveting, courageous, inspiring, global, and fascinating medical thriller. Diana Weinberger author of When Mountains Don’t Move
The Tree of Life is amazing. I was in tears and crossing my arms over my heart in the final chapters. I really loved it and couldn’t put it down. Amazon Reader
In the midst of such drama and violence, the beauty of emerging faith and deepening relationships brought enrichment to the whole. Deyon Stephens Co-Founder of Mercy Ships
The most important truth revealed in this authentic and vivid story is even in the face of brutal hate, we are called to love. Karen Sargent author of Waiting for Butterflies, 2017 IAN Book of the Year
The Tree of Life reads like the headlines of today’s news, while incorporating the ancient history of a long-troubled region of our world. Jack Minton Co-Founder of Hope Force International
This nail-biting thriller, set in the cradle of civilization, accelerates from a natural disaster to the breath-taking finish. Joni M. Fisher Author of the Compass Crimes Series
From page one to the last, The Tree of Life keeps the reader in its grip as the ongoing story of Dr. Nicklaus Hart continues to unfold. Cherie Minton Co-Founder of Hope Force International
There is so much to inspire between the covers of this book. Frank Cummings Pastor-Life for the Nations Church
Browne admirably avoids the pitfalls of facile caricature, and seeks an empathetic comprehension of even the least attractive characters, resulting in an impressive moral study. Kirkus

He is Risen! Happy Easter to you all! What a strange Easter this is. Julie and I celebrated communion alone with each other. No kids or grandkids around, no Easter baskets or chocolate bunnies for us. Definitely, no dressing up in our Easter finest or church service with raised voices of Alleluias. At least I got dressed today and even put on clean jeans! Since watching a Maundy Thursday service over Facebook live, acknowledging Jesus’s suffering on Good Friday, contemplating the mystery of the Harrowing of Hell, and now celebrating His glorious resurrection, I sense a most profound time in all our lives. A story that has had a significant impact on me this Holy Week has been one of the shortest, but consistently told Keep Reading
