Format:Mass Market Paperback
I loved the pace of the storyline which kept me glued to the book until I finished. The content was fascinating, the author inserts lots of medicine, mystery and adventure all in one book. Fantastic!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Dr Charles Martel is a cancer researcher, whose first wife died from lymphoma. Now their daughter Michelle has myeloblastic leukaemia, and Charles thinks she got it from benzene dumped in the local pond. An interesting idea (I rather do like medical thrillers), but characterisation was poor, and the book was occasionally frustrating. Mind you, it was published in 1982, if that accounts for anything.

I am a 17 year old senior in high school. We had to pick a book for an anatomy project. I picked this book because it is kind of non fictional. I LOVED IT!!!! It is kind of slow to get into but about 15 pages in I couldnt put it down!!

Solid medical thriller, if a bit syrupy at times
I read this book in its entirety on a nine-hour plane ride. I'm not sure if I would have read it so eagerly had I not been cooped up on a plane.

Real life...not a chance
The medical aspects of this book are inaccurate. It is clear that Dr. Cook has not cared for patients with leukemia, or has chosen to take dramatic poetic license. Read more

Same Old... but I'm hooked
I really liked the book, however the main character seemed typical of Robin Cook's lead men.
The character was too naive. Read more
