An award-winning science writer for Cancer Research UK, Henry had spent 14 years at the coal-face of cancer research, but now the disease had infiltrated his personal life too. In <i>Cross Everything--</i>his first book--Henry uses this unique perspective to tell the story of Zarah's illness, how he tried in vain to use everything he'd learnt in his professional career to try to save her, and in doing so, how he realized that even a career writing about cancer daily isn't enough preparation for what comes next. Along the way, <i>Cross Everything</i> brings the reader up to speed with the latest understanding of cancer--a complex disease with a Darwinian capacity to outsmart its host.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A moving, compelling and vital book, that sheds much needed light on the very latest understanding of cancer." --<i>Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies</i> <p/>"Sensitive and informed.
