User’s Reviews

Robin Cook, M.D., is the author of more than thirty books and is credited with popularizing the medical thriller with his wildly successful first novel, Coma. He divides his time among Florida, New Hampshire, and Boston. His most recent novels include Host, Cell, and Nano. –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. From Publishers Weekly Cook’s popular medical thrillers are designed, in part, to keep the public aware of both the technological possibilities of modern medicine and the ensuing ethical problems. His topic this time is reproductive science and the often murky baby-making business. Epidemiologist Marissa Blumenthal, seen before in Outbreak , now has a successful pediatrics practice near Boston and an affluent health-care-entrepreneur husband. But her inability to become pregnant threatens both her marriage and her career. After unsuccessful visits to a local fertility clinic, she discovers a suprising and suspicious link between her medical records and those of an inordinate number of the clinic’s clients. Traveling to Australia to learn more about a worldwide in vitro fertilization organization, Marissa and her friend Wendy are trailed, and a tragedy occurs. Marissa, now accompanied by the physician whose work she had come to Australia to investigate, goes to Hong Kong and eventually China–fleeing murderous assailants every step of the way–before a billion-dollar international scam is revealed. As always, Cook enlivens predictable action and shallow characterization with medical expertise and timely subject matter.

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ Robin Cook invented the medical thriller and gives us many medical facts and skilled descriptions. His book Vital Signs gives us the unsuspected sufferings of couples attempting to have a child in spite of damaged reproductive systems. The procedures involved are painful in many ways, and are described in ways that allow readers to sympathize …there is the additional mystery for Dr. Blumenthal to solve, which is who benefits from the couples’ damage, and who is causing the damaged reproductive systems? I wish Vital Signs had been divided into 2 books, and this one had been stopped about halfway, with a sequel (book 3) showing the hell-bent-for-leather rush towards a Dr.Blumenthal solution

⭐ The main characters in the book are highly educated physicians, but all the really stupid things they do make you wonder. They take risks with illegal breaking and entering and traveling to dangerous places in their efforts to obtain information. They should have gone to the authorities and gotten an investigator. I found it very annoying and seemingly out of character for medical doctors.

⭐ I enjoyed Cook’s Outbreak so I was happy to read the sequel. The plot gets a little crazy at points and it’s dated (they call the operator to find out the time in Australia) but I am glad I got to read it. I ordered a used copy in good condition and I was very pleased with it.

⭐ Enjoy Cook’s easy reading books. Main characters often do impractical things and are easy to figure where the story is going but this one in particular had a softer, happily ever after, pleasant ending.

⭐ I love Robin Cook, and as usual I was swept into the intregue right away, but about halfway through I knew where the story was going, but ii started taking some outlandish turns to get to the point! Definitely love on my Cool meter.

⭐ Some of the encounters were not believable. Jargon of medical term overs were hard to interpret. Overall, very enjoyable reading.

⭐ As usual, I enjoy reading Robin Cook’s books, especially on my Kindle. Sometimes his books are nerveracking. This one was interesting without being too nervewracking. It had a pleasant ending.I agree with Cook’s take on the current health care issues.

⭐ All Robin cook books are very exciting, entertaining to read no matter what time of the day you have no time to put the book down. He’s the master of medical thriller, suspense all the way……

⭐ Another “10” for Robin Cook. Will read again.

⭐ Robin Cook is my favorite author. I’ve read all of his books, some a second time. I was hooked when I read The Intern.
