(2026)(The second book in the Dr. Spencer Black series)
A novel by E B Hudspeth
First Chance is a suspenseful thriller that readers won’t be able to put down—perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Michael Connelly.
The long-awaited follow-up to The Resurrectionist, this gorgeously illustrated volume continues the story of Dr. Spencer Black. Genius. Healer. Madman. Destroyer.
Once a gifted surgeon believed he could cure all illness with quick strokes of his knife; that he could create perfection in the human body. Spencer Black’s fascination with mythical creatures led him to believe they had once lived and walked upon the earth; he became determined to re-create them.
Triumphant for a time, Dr. Black traveled the world, opening people’s eyes to wonder and horror, until tragedy struck. He lost nearly everything, including his son, Alphonse. But Dr. Black’s desire to usher in a new world remained unquenched. He married machinery and medicine in a quest to form new beings who would lead humanity into a golden age of immortality and perfection.
Word spread of Dr. Spencer Black’s philosophy, growing into the Noumenon, a community where all were welcome, regardless of faith, ethnicity, creed, or state of health. Acolytes flocked there from across the United States, caught up in Dr. Black'''s vision of the future.
Presented here in deeply interwoven words and illustrations, The Cult of Dr. Black is told through meticulously rendered anatomical drawings, melancholic images from Alphonse’s notebooks, newspaper clippings, and even the guiding texts of the Noumenon.
Herein lies an entire world, created by E. B. Hudspeth for the reader’s enjoyment …
