Fever Cell,

This review is from: Fever Cell (Paperback)
I obtained this book accidentally, and read it for lack of anything else to read. As a general rule, I don't like medical mysteries and I don't like science fiction. However, Dr. Goldberg surpasses both of these genres, and I am now hooked and a dedicated fan.

Chilling & Fast Paced,
By A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fever Cell (Paperback)
As of now, this is Leonard Goldberg's last book in the Joanna Blalock series and, in my opinion, the best yet. It deals with a very touchy subject: Smallpox & Terrorism and bits of 9/11 are added in the book as well. Joanna Blalock, a forensic pathologist at Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles is called in by the FBI to do a top secret autopsy of an unidentified man found murdered at LAX, Joanna and Jake fear that they are once again being pulled into another terrorist investigation; the previous one having nearly cost Joanna her life. While the investigation into the corpse's identity is in progress, another emergency intervenes when a man with symptoms of smallpox arrives at Memorial and everyone who has had contact with him is quarantined in the hospital's basement isolation center; including Joanna. Based on a scenario that has all the makings of a very real nightmare, Leonard Goldberg has put together a top notch medical thriller.

Mesmerizing and SCARY,
By Tina "Tina" (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fever Cell (Paperback)
This is one of the best medical thrillers I have read in a long time. Goldberg is a favorite of mine and I was looking forward to this one.The story basically centers around its main character Dr. Joanna Blalock. She and some of her co-workers get exposed to a deadly virus, brought into the country by terrorists. Goldberg is great at describing the action in a quick, witty manner. This book never drags and although I still feel as though they make the main character a little too perfect, she is an engaging character. If you get easily spooked by viral scenario that are all too plausible in "real life", don't read this. However, is you want to get scared and find a truly enjoyable read, then buy this book.
