Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

The ever-popular and prolific Cook (Fatal Cure, Audio Reviews, LJ 9/15/94) sets his latest medical thriller in Equatorial Guinea, Africa. Dr. Kevin Marshall worries that he has traded his ethics for a gleaming futuristic lab. Meanwhile, stateside, Dr. Jack Stapleton, a forensic pathologist, is deeply troubled by an unidentified body that is missing various parts. Jack and his colleague, Laurie, identify the corpse as that of a Mafia kingpin, and their investigation leads them to Africa. Narrator Boyd Gaines is superb. The producer, however, would do well to abandon the tiresome and distracting sound effects that serve only to lend an old-time radio feel to the production. Missing are end-of-side cues prompting listeners to flip or change tapes. For popular fiction collections.?Terrill Persky, Naperville, Ill.

From AudioFile

A medical examiner in New York worried by some odd autopsy findings and a scientist in equatorial Africa performing genetic experiments that could dramatically alter life on earth are drawn together in Cook's latest medical thriller. Boyd Gaines's dramatic reading, accented by sound effects and musical bridges, establishes the characters and the emotional reality of the frightening situations. But it's hampered by scant character development and sudden leaps in the narrative. Despite these weaknesses, Gaines's easy style and an intriguing premise make this abridgment worth a listen. M.A.M.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Concentration Faded, Nov. 4 2004
Par Ez (Melbourne, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: Chromosome 6 (Mass Market Paperback)
A New York gangland member is killed, so what does this have to do with liver transplants, bonobos and protohumans? Forensic pathologists Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery head to Equatorial Guinea to find out. It's a very long read, and my concentration faded quite often. (C+)

1.0étoiles sur 5 Stunningly bad. Run, run from this book!, Avril 10 2004
Par Wilkun (Tokyo, Japan) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: Chromosome 6 (Paperback)
Robin Cook's novel of genetic manipulation which creates a race of proto-human simians is laughable. My congratulations, however, go to him for apparently creating one of these creatures himself, as Chromosome 6 appears to have been edited by one of these self-same bonobo apes!

This novel is tripe- absurd, unbelieveable characters (in particular the female characters assisting Kevin at the complex in Africa), dialogue that is beyond clumsy, the most howlingly bad, stereotypical mafiosi imaginable- I fail to see how any editor worth his salt wouldn't be forced to ask for an extensive rewrite.

That is, of course, unless he were a genetically engineered chimp editing with a sharpened flint. Yup, that would be the only possible reason for this literary train wreck.

3.0étoiles sur 5 OVERCOOKED, Fév 3 2004
Par Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: Chromosome 6 (Hardcover)
Robin Cook by now must realize he must sacrifice the "king of medical thrillers" to the charming Tess Gerritsen. Although Cook has done some good work, this muddled, overdrawn, repetitious tome is too long in length and too short on excitement. While Tess manages to keep the reader braced for unexpected twists, Cook leads you to where you know it's going, and peoples it with some of the most uninteresting characters I've had the displeasure to spend time with. The mafia characters are hilariously inept, and the heroes at the cloning site are childish, stupid, and reminiscent of an episode of Dawson's Creek.
This is not Cook at his best, the three stars are to recognize his previous works and hope they get better after this one.
