Prizes

In this powerful and moving saga, three extraordinary individuals— two men and one woman— compete for the ultimate glory: the Nobel Prize. Erich Segal takes us inside the research labs and clinics— as well as the homes and hearts— of the world's most elite doctors and scientists whose genius, dedication, and passion cannot always win them the love and recognition they seek. Loyalty and betrayal, disappointment and loss, scandal and secrets— all will play roles in the personal and professional lives of these gifted scientists who hold the key to life and death for so many. While the Nobel Prize beckons with its seductive promise, all three will discover an enduring truth: that life has many treasures to offer, and some of them come in the most unexpected ways.
