Summary: Losing Faith
Review: Although Neiderman is one of my favorite authors in the genre, he is losing his talent. This idea of this book seems to be a recycled, but different writing of The Immortals, which is one of my favorite novels by this author (or any novel, for that matter). I'm sorry to say this, but maybe Neiderman needs to sit back awhile and reflect before writing another novel with a storyline that's been either recycled or done before.

Summary: Another look at rejuvination
Review: Rejuvenation is the central key to this tale of medical coverup and suspense. Webster Martin is drawn in after picking up a young woman at a posh nightclub. Little does he know that she is really old enough to be his grandmother.

The next morning she is gone and Webster feels a loss. But his friend who went out with her friend never woke up at all. He has been murdered and his date is also gone.

A brilliant doctor is close to the secret of second, and maybe eternal, youth. Some powerful men are funding him. They are also protecting him and his research. They will do anything to keep the secret to themselves. Even murder.

Webster, his rejuvenated date, and a pair of local police become enmeshed in the medical plot and try to discover the truth.

The plots culminate in a satisfying conclusion although no necessarily happily for all.

A good detective thriller that is not really medical thriller and definitely not horror. But there are good characters and some plot lines that keep the reader interested.

Summary: Functional medical thriller
Review: Set in L.A .this is a tale of a scientific project that goes wrong .The aim is to turn back the biological clock by means of a new process that actively rejuvenates the human body ; unfortunately it simply does not work and the subjects while initially rejuvenated soon begin an accelerated ageing process.
The problem comes to light when -at the insistence of the prgramme director -subjects Katherine and Shelly are sent on furlough to the bright lights of L A clubland.The result is the death of a young man who picks up one of the "girls" at the hands of the project security team
His friend ,Webster Martin aided by a veteran cop on the verge of retirement sets out to investigate while the project attempts a cover up by striving to kill Webster and anyone else who stands in their way.
Plenty of lively action and a good climax at the clinic where the project is carried out but its a bit too routine and predictable to be other than a passable time-filler by a capable second string popular novelist.
