The Human Trial Paperback – September 21, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Dr. Randall Archer is a misfit…
…in the brutal blue-collar home where he grew up.
…as a sixteen-year-old escaping to college, then medical school, on a full scholarship to Harvard.
…in the highest echelons of Boston society, where the woman he marries and the blueblood research partner with whom he shares his laboratory belong.
Even Archer’s brilliance as a pathologist catapults him into direct and dangerous conflict with the medical establishment he fought so hard to join.
As the Great Depression presses down around him, Archer teeters at the edge of a precipice. He must choose between his hard-won career and the sacred oaths he took as a doctor and scientist—before all his choices are lost forever.

About the author
Audrey Gale long dreamed of being a writer, but never anticipated the circuitous road she’d take to get there. After twenty-plus years in the banking industry, she grew tired of corporate gamesmanship and pursued her master’s in fiction writing at the University of Southern California. Her first novel, a legal thriller entitled The Sausage Maker's Daughters, was published under the name A.G.S. Johnson. Her second, The Human Trial, is the first book in a medical-thriller trilogy inspired by Gale’s own experiences with the gap between traditional medicine and approaches based on the findings of the great physicists of the 20th Century. Both The Sausage Maker’s Daughters and The Human Trial incorporate Gale’s fascination with historical and scientific research, and always with women finding their places. Gale lives in Los Angeles with her husband and dogs where she is found hiking the Santa Monica Mountains every chance she gets. Learn more at www.audreygaleauthor.com.

Randall Archer has a pretty bad home life in New England. He dreams of going to medical school to getting away. His guidance counselor makes it happen and off to Harvard he goes, on a full scholarship- at 16, to study to be a pathologist. There he connects with people who are richer than anyone he’s ever known; including his future wife, Elizabeth Perrish and his lab mate, a chemist named Adam Wakefield.
Elizabeth’s family are “the” Perrishes whose family go all the way back to the beginning of time… ok, just Boston. This being the 1920s her family does not take to Elizabeth being an outspoken woman and definitely doesn’t approve of her new relationship with someone with a blue collar instead of blue blood. So, what does Elizabeth do? She marries him and they move into a one room apartment and she becomes a teacher. While Elizabeth is challenging her upbringing, Randy and Adam are challenging science as it’s been known up to this point. The two come together and take huge risks… but do they pay off?? You won’t believe the ending.
I listened to the audio and the narrator, Scott Graff, kept me fully engaged. His narration fit in with the era, sounding like a Hitchcock vibe. My only drawback in this area was the tinny sound for the inner thoughts. But that was a me thing.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed getting to know about this time in medical history (and having looked up the author’s notes, her personal reason for the subject.) I hope more of that goes into the series later.
The Human Trial is the first in a trilogy which will span decades and a plethora of medical issues.

The narration by Scott Graff was intriguing and well done. His different voices for each of the main players in this thriller enhanced the story.
I was given the audiobook through RABT Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Full of ambitions but surrounded by obstacles that would jeopardize his projects and including his marriage to his beloved wife who had feelings for his colleague. He unveils his true dark thoughts in the face of these and yet takes advantage of the opportunities provided to him to get ahead. However, involved in a business world where economic and power interests outweigh ethical values, causing Dr. Archer's ambition to come to a head.
I enjoyed placidly reading scientific concepts well explained, you are immersed in a pleasant story eager to know what will happen in the next chapter. All in all, a book that you will find enjoyable and light.
The best part is this is a trilogy so this adventure will continue
