Summary: An insight into marketing and power of the drug industry
Review: I know this is fiction, but it's very scary if there's even a remote possibility it might happen. I could see where with this drug, a great percentage of people in our whole nation could have been "killed." It kept me spellbound, and I couldn't put it down.

Summary: My first Michael Palmer book - truly terrific!
Review: I liked this book enough to go out of my way to post a review about it, which is something I've never done for anything before. The plot is very good, the dialogue I'd rate a 9 out of 10, and there was enough originality, emotion (I had tears in my eyes on 2 occasions), and surprise to keep this jaded ex-cyberpunk fiction reader interested. The surgical procedures were very engaging and I thought excellently rendered. I withheld 1 rating point for what I perceived to be unnecessarily "Hollywood" portrayals of a few events, which I felt detracted from what was otherwise a very believable setting. Apart from that, I loved it and was left quite satisfied with the ending.

Summary: Michael Palmer - I'm your biggest FAN!!!
Review: I started reading Palmer's book only 3 years ago. I was strung out on Grisham, Patterson, Margolin, and Mary Higgins Clark. I first turned to Patricia Cornwell, and needed more. You, Mr. Palmer, did it!!! Thank you! I ran to the bookstore with a list of your books - looking to catch up! Miraclce Cure, Extreme Measures, etc.

Summary: Delicious but terribly formulaic...
Review: I truly love Dr. Palmer's books, but his winning style is repeated novel after novel. Let me see if I get this right: A flawed hero doctor inadvertantly becomes embroiled in a hospital conspiracy that involves some of the Big Issues in modern medical ethics. He is wrongfully accused by his tormentors, finds himself at the precipice of losing everything, and is helped in his quest for The Truth by a beautiful woman who could be his savior or his nemesis. At the last moment, Truth and Love win out, the doctor is vindicated, and the medical community is saved from the evil machinations of the Conspiracy. Did I miss anything? But I still can't wait for the next installment...

Summary: Michael Palmer knows his stuff!!!
Review: I'll keep this short and sweet. Michael Palmer is, hands-down, the best at writing medical thrillers. I've been in the medical field since 1984, I feel qualified to say this. He has definitely surpassed Robin Cook. I hope he continues to turn out quality work and not release books just to make money.

Summary: Caught me by surprise!
Review: Michael Palmer proves again that he is a top notch thriller writer. I find his novels extremely readable, and well written. These are sometimes mutually exclusive qualities of thriller fiction. He also does a good job in explaining the medical aspects of his novels. Knowing a bit about cardiology and related medical treatments, I was able to get past the jargon. I do wonder if a reader, with little or no previous knowledge of cardiology,would not get lost in the medical descriptions.Frankly, the resolution caught me by surprise, which was a pleasent surprise since many books of this genre are predicatble. But what was predictable was the "bad guys." Unfortunately, the were almost charecatures of themselves. I particularly enjoyed Epilogue II. This final wrap-up was unlike almost any other novel I've read. I won't reveal the twist, but all I can say is that when I read it, I said "TOUCHE!"

Summary: Okay
Review: MIRACLE CURE is okay. Not the best thing Palmer has written. I would like to say that, if you like thrillers, I just read the best thriller I've read in years titled THE SHAPE: A NOVEL OF INTERNATIONAL SUSPENSE by Craig Furnas. It is about modern day Nazis, and secrets from the hero's family past come to haunt him...and a lot more. It is a totally thrilling read! It gripped me like a sumo wrestler and wouldn't let go until the last page!! That's how riveting it was. You can purchase the trade paperback on Amazon.com. Type in "Craig Furnas" in the search box, and read more about the book. Buy it. Read it. You'll love it. I'd rate it a 10+. Anyway, MIRACLE CURE ain't bad.
