If youlike science fiction you will enjoy this book.
Not the best in my opinion. Too slow and seemed too repetitive.
The Forbes Cancer Center in Miami is experiencing unprecedented cure rates for patients stricken with medulloblastoma. Sean Murphy, a bright, brash, Harvard medical student, takes an elective at the center to learn as much as he can about the procedures and treatments. The icy atmosphere that greets him, coupled with a warning to stay away from the unit in question, fuels Sean's determination to discover why everything is veiled in such secrecy. To carry out his investigation, he enlists the help of his girlfriend, Janet Reardon, a nurse. These self-appointed detectives find themselves chased by a variety of factions and in trouble with the law before unearthing the horrible truth. Cook weaves an action-packed story that is fun to read!
Typical Cook. Great plot and action, typically stilted dialogue. Cook's medical knowledge and ability to weave the latest medical breakthroughs into a worst-case scenario make this worth reading.
