Relax...
I promise, (not that it will mean anything to you), to NEVER make or SELL any (not even 1 mg) of opiods, or stimulants (unless coffee) or even Marijuana to anyone. I guess you won't believe me, but I am writing a action thriller novel (now in point form notes) and it includes clandestine labs, big-bad international conspiracies, etc.
I'm trying to follow Dan Brown(an author's) way of researching the material first. If I said this upfront, I am sure I would have gotten skewed answers, so I didn't reveal it.
Now, I don't think anyone will help me over here, so I'll have to keep taking my night-courses and talk to "chemists" who aren't into the scene, but I PROMISE, I will NEVER make and sell this or any illegal stuff to anyone.
Take this post as you might. Take care.
P.S. - If time permits, I'll get the web-site ready with some summaries of my new book. Not that it means shit to you. Oh yes, instead of the "Hive", the book's going to have the "Nest" and birds! Get it? The Bird of prey in Jungian archetype. Ofcourse the characters are going to be more than a little crazy than what I've witnessed here.
I might as well explain the bird thing more:
Ancient Egypt Archetype, as described by the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary states, “The original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or copies”. The Egyptian model is considered an archetype because it set the groundwork for all religion. Egyptian mythology centers itself on nature, the earth, the sky, the moon, the sun and the stars. Another important figure in Egyptian mythology is the Nile River. The Nile River is said to manifest itself over the land of ancient Egypt and its people. The gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt are anthropomorphic; they contain the heads of birds and other animals. Many Egyptians deified the bird. This was because the bird was considered the hope of resurrection. Also, flight is considered to be a religious concept. In addition, the Egyptian archetype is a polytheistic model, containing almost two-thousand gods and goddesses. These gods represented hope and explanation. One of these gods, Re, is said to be the greatest god. Re, the god of sun and the creator god, is represented with the head of a falcon. Re is the most influential god because he is known as the god of creation.
So, now the bird (aka the chemists) are the creators, the ressurectors who give hope to the dead psyches of humans. With LSD and whatnot.
Thanks
Now this was helpful. smile
So, I'm learning a lot about "Chemical Process Design".
Again, forgive me when I ask stupid questions. I don't want my book to sound outlandish by just making up stuff which would be purely impossible.
Next thing, bug people on political conspiracy sites. wink
No problem
Now, in your book you have already 3 star players:
1) The geeky research chemist who works about 2 entire years optimizing a threesome of (high yielding) from scratch synthetic routes (his major find being of course a one pot procedure that simplifies several synthetic steps).
2) The evil industrial chemist, who sees which synthetic pathways can be scaled up with the best results
3) The crooked accountant, who launders all the money
Haha
Good ideas, but it will more be towards a young guy stumbling onto a massive conspiracy + religious archetypes + symbols + fate + eastern philosophy. The protagonist started out being Chinese, but after advice from editors, he is "white".
2 stupid questions:
1. Could someone with a Bachelors degree in Chemistry do the synthesis easily?
2. I've heard of people come up with better analogs. So in theory (for a book atleast) it would be possible for the protagonist to "stumble" upon a better substance from some (not a lot) of experimentation? Right? Or can the process be only done in a high tech lab... Talking about morphinans.
AND NOW CALL ME CRAZY
