Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not exactly a page-turner
Review: This is the first of Michael Palmer's books that I have read. It was interesting enough to keep me reading. I finished it in no time flat, but it was not captivating. It lacked real excitement and ended too abruptly. I never connected with Harry, and at times I wished Dickenson would just arrest him and get it over with. As a graduate student in Health Administration I was excited but disgusted by the whole managed care sub-plot. Wow. That took a creative imagination.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great meducal thriller!
Review: This was a great book.. full of suspense right from the start. The only disappointment was the ending. I feel as if I was cheated. The ending leaves the reader hanging. Maybe you need to draw your own conclusions. This shouldn't keep anyone from not reading this book.
Once again, Michael Palmer leads the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. For the first time, it wasn't until near the end that I finally caught on. This is one of his better book.s

Summary: Kick Butt!
Review: This was a truly satisfying read. Lots of surprises that I could see coming only a few pages before they hit me smack between the eyes. Easily one of the best books I've read in a long time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Plot Twists but Has Technical Inaccuracies
Review: While Mr. Palmer may have extensive experience in the medical sciences, he reveals that he has little knowledge of handguns and associated weaponry. What is even more surprising is that these inaccuracies were not caught by his fact-checker/editor.

While am by no means an expert in the field, please allow me to pass along some guidelines:

A revolver has no safety switch - it is inherently safe. A revolver is (typically) never fitted with a silencer due to it being ineffective. There are no (typical) 9mm revolvers.

An automatic does have a safety switch. An automatic can be silenced. An automatic is not a revolver.

Other than these obvious oversights, it was a well-written novel.
