Summary: Non-Stop Suspense
Review: I wanted a change from Robin Cook and I'm quite happy I found Michael Palmer. The book was a bit slow to start and I was tempted to stop reading it, but I kept on.
This book is fantastic. The characters are well written as is the plot. There were many times while reading this book that I felt troubled and anxious just because of what Abby was going through. This book really had a hold on me. Although it was the first Michael Palmer book I've read, I'll definately be reading more of his.

Summary: I think Michael Palmer does a subperb job on medical thrille
Review: I've read about 5 of his books so far. But I only read the medical thrillers. I think he does as good as Robin Cook whom I also love. If anyone knows of any authors that write this type of book that I may not know, please send along. Thank you Mary A Doiron

Review: I've read several other Michael Palmer novels, and the turns and red-herrings he adds makes a delightful reading experience. He adds a touch of humor and E.R. type action to keep you reading well into the night.Only in one small area does he streaching the believability factor. Go Abby''''''

Review: If you like detective/mysteries and want to add some medical interest thrills - this is the book to read. I have read about 7 or 8 Palmer books and have not been disappointed yet. They are a great 'quick read' and hard to put down.

Summary: better than Robin Cook ?
Review: the obvious anti-gun bias in the first few pages almost made me put it down. The author has a demented man walking into a gun store and coming out with 2 semi-automatic rifles. California has a 14 day waiting period for any gun purchase. No gun shop I know would sell to a disturbed person like Josh, they want to keep their license. The author also refers to these rifles as "machine guns". Palmer must have gone to the Diane Feinstein school of armory and misinformation. If he doesn't research guns very well, I am suspect of his other technical statements. The "old man in the woods" who happens to be a Zen archery master is hilarious. Was Dr. Dolan supposed to be Grasshopper? It is scary to think innocent people could be guinea pigs for government sponsored drug tests. Unfortunately that has happened several times we are aware of, soldiers exposed to radiation in Nevada and syphilis patients in Alabama. The central story of this novel could be true. Cook wrote about ergot poisoning that caused uncontrolled violence. Clive Cussler wrote about water supplies being poisoned by chemical waste and that caused extreme violence as well. Palmer is a better writer than Cook but Cussler is more entertaining than either. Cussler also introduces topics for personal research. I'll stick with Cussler.

Summary: Excellent story with lots of surprises
Review: The whole idea of chemical poisoning and a corporate cover-up is intriguing enough, but Palmer makes it even more exciting by adding twists and turns at all the right times. Every time I thought I figured out what was going on, I was pleasantly surprised to realize I was way off base. Abby's commitment to solving the mystery is fierce. The action is tremendous and it doesn't stop until the last page, as the story races to a thrilling conclusion. This book was difficult to put down. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a chilling mystery novel.
