From Amazon.com

When not one but three different extremely rare diseases kill several patients at a New York hospital, forensic pathologist Jack Stapleton suspects it's more than just coincidence. He thinks there's a connection between the appearance of the mysterious microbes responsible for the deaths and the HMO that owns the hospital--the same HMO that once destroyed his flourishing medical practice. Is Americare deliberately killing off its sickest patients--those who cost the most money to treat? Or is there an even more sinister motive behind the strange goings-on at Manhattan General, not to mention the attempts on Jack's life? And what is beautiful Terese Hagen, the hard-driving creative director of a Madison Avenue ad agency, doing in the middle of this slightly muddled, but still engrossing, tale of greed, medicine, and mayhem? Like Michael Crichton, whose Andromeda Strain remains the classic in the genre, Cook is sometimes heavy-handed when it comes to character development, and his fulminations about the dangers of managed care often get in the way of the plot. Still, Contagion will make you think twice about taking your next case of flu to the ER instead of your own bed. --Jane Adams --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Library Journal

In Cook's numerous best-selling medical thrillers, the nasty microbes and lethal diseases are never as loathsome as the greedy villains who spread illness for profit. Here, a cynical forensics doctor suspects that a for-profit medical firm is murdering its more costly subscribers. A Literary GuildR main selection.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very good!, Juil 25 2003
Par H. Georges (montréal, canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
One of Robin cook's best book, it's a medical thriller like almost of his books.
there are a lot of action and suspense.
The story is exciting, you never get bored.
It's sometimes boring because Jack Stapleton is .
The story: one day one "patient" of Jack has the pest and then three others strange disease appeared. Jack investigates in the Manhattan General hospital. There they don't like him and try to kill him.
Jack wants the truth so he continue to investigate.
If you want to know more read the book!
sometimes, the medical jargon in Robin Cook's novel does not make it difficult reading. Most of the medical terminology is explained sufficiently for the reader to understand the significance of the medical find.
This is the first time we hear of Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery. We hear of them again in Chromosome 6 and Vector. Robin tells you in more detail about Jack and Laurie then now the latter on. There is the plane crash that takes the life of Jack's family and how he leaves being a eye doctor to be a legist Doctor.
I Highly recommended it!

4.0étoiles sur 5 OK, GOOD, BUT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE....., Jui 20 2002
Par "sactoflo" (Sacramento, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I was entertained and educated. In light of Anthrax, this book is almost required reading. There was one error in judgement in my opinion. Cook shouldn't have divulged the deal made between the two gangs. That scene could have been left out completely, and I would have been in the dark with regard to the conclusion. Another mistake, & really this isn't too many mistakes, is the last sentence. "But don't worry; I'll explain it later." That sentence just grated. I hated it. I guess it's the "don't worry."

Aside from those minor flaws, I was reading late into the night & thoroughly enjoying it.
