Mark Walker, Superintendent Radiographer, is involved in another episode. The RAD- 121 flu virus is infecting the world population. The virus then mutates becoming undetectable. The only means of diagnosis involves radiographers.
Mark's wife, Natasha, is employed by a pharmaceutical company and develops a vaccine which is potentially effective against RAD-121 and HIV in the laboratory. The exponential rise in casualties forces her to bypass clinical trials at great personal cost. Also, Mark's personal life leaves Natasha vulnerable to office 'smoothie', John Delaney.
On Iona, archaeologist Hugh Payne unearths ancient bones. A group called the Metatarsians aim to disrupt the dig. They want the veil of secrecy maintained. The professor, assisted by radiographers, attempts to allay their fears. However, without a TEAM effort, will the potential cures and discoveries prove elusive?
Beneficiaries of the book will be the Paediatric Special Interest Radiographers of The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT), in Northern Ireland. They won the UK Society of Radiographers Team of the Year Award. 'Un-resourced and without management guidance' they 'set to work to make changes and improve the services for paediatric patients.'
The Team will receive some of the royalties from this edition for their charitable programmes at home and abroad. Read about their achievements in the foreword section.

George Korankye's Team Twenty Ten is an educational fiction ("edufic") novel that tells the tale of a viral outbreak, the RAD-121 virus, that escalates into a widespread health crisis. The virus, that not only evade detection by blood work but also the ability to mutate its strain properties and physical symptoms of the sufferer, is only detectable by radiographs, and therefore emphasizes the importance of the role of the radiographer.Korankye re-introduces from his previous novel, I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Is Gone ("Rain"), Mark Walker. Mark is the superintendent radiographer at Bonnyholly Hospital in the fictional town of Bonnyholly, Scotland. Mark and his team work tirelessly to accommodate the overflowing waiting rooms with patients ill from the RAD-121 virus in need of radiographs, all while he and his team deal with lingering emotional and mental effects of a tragic incident that occur in Rain. Mark's wife, Natasha, is an Immunologist who works for a pharmaceutical company that attempts to develop a dual-purpose drug that could eradicate the RAD-121 virus (and incidentally HIV as well!) in those infected, as well as act as a vaccine to prevent further outbreak. With the help of her husband and a cast of supporting characters, Natasha relentlessly works on the solution to the virus problem amidst great personal moral, ethical, and legal dilemmas.
As a radiographer, I feel that Korankye (a radiographer himself) had the right idea to pen novels that reveal the small and often unknown demographic of the x-ray tech. As an edufic, I do think that Korankye makes a good attempt to educate the readers on the scope of an x-ray tech's job, as well as their tremendous impact on health care as seen by the general plot device of the novel. The author also touches upon subjects such as radiologic education and it's effect on the perceived professionalism of radiographers, with some very valid concerns being raised about radiologic licensure, education, and acceptance among colleagues concerning varying levels of x-ray certification and experience.
Despite my excitement at reading a book that features a radiographer, I have to say I was dismayed at the lack of expanded plot development, as well as lack of further character development. Two hundred and ninety pages just didn't feel like enough. I realize that the novel is intended for educational purposes, but as a radiographer, I wanted more! I wanted to know more about Mark and his team and the dynamic amongst them and I definitely wanted to know more technical details on this wonder drug that can even erase HIV. I wanted to know more about the mysterious "Metatarsians" and their history. As a self-proclaimed x-ray geek, nothing could have made me happier than to crack open a really long book about a radiographer and their medical adventures, and I feel that Korankye perhaps rushed the plot through.
However, in regards to the intent to both educate and entertain, I say Korankye did a commendable job. Mark Walker was an enjoyable character, the plot was digestible (even to those who perhaps have no clue about radiography or immunology), and the story line Korankye chose for this novel was an interesting one that can be related to by radiographers as well as the general public. H1N1 hysteria of 2009, anyone? I even enjoyed imagining the characters Scottish accents coming through as I (an American) read through the occasionally heavy Scottish dialect.
Overall, I definitely enjoyed this book. I believe that this book will do well to educate the masses and would immediately recommend it to any radiographer, radiography student, or patient who has ever wondered what goes on beyond those lead walls.
