An elite clique of medical professionals thinks he has what it takes to join their secret club. All the young doctor has to do is agree to play by their rules. But Eric has already seen too much.

And if Eric refuses to become their colleague--he will be their next victim.

"Extreme Measures is an excellent medical thriller by Michael Palmer, who puts hack Robin Cook completely to shame. This book starts with an absolutely ghastly, unnerving scene, and then goes headlong into a thrilling plot. Each of his books raises a question about medical ethics. "

" Suspense right from the start, however one must have the reaction - not another secret medical society plotting evil? Notwithstanding that - it was a good entertaining read. "

" I enjoyed the book and then the movie came out. I recommend reading the book and NOT watching the movie. Too many things are changed/left out of the movie. The book truly is better. "
