" Palmer's books are always so scary because they could actually happen, all it takes is a few bad apples in the right positions and wam you could be part of the same diaster that was portrayed in this book. Can't say anything more without giving a spoiler clue. "

" Little slow but good finish! I liked it. "

" It was a good story... Liked the characters but only cared about them when things were happening. "

" I tried to read this book, but it was filled with so much medical turns and information, I felt the plot got lost. Maybe I will try to read it again another time. "

" I liked this book, it was very intriguing. What I didn't like was the bottom line of the whole story - the reason for the womens illness. "

" 3 star medical thriller (top 50% of the genre). One of Michael Palmer's many reliable, well-constructed, hospital-based thrillers. For my full review, see ScienceThrillers.com "

" This was another "Oldie but goodie" from Michael Palmer. Aside from the obvious lack of cell phones, the story still feels contempory. Very fast moving, engaging characters, and an unusual twist. Good summer reading. "

" A brilliantly written hospital procedural "

" If you enjoy Palmer's medical thrillers then this one is a true classic. It's textured, filled with a good dose of drama, suspense and intrigue. And as always...you take something away with you (if you enjoy learning about the body and how it works). "

" This book built in intensity like all Michael Palmer books. It was a little predictable and it reminded me of another book he wrote. "

" I did not like the performer... "

" Very concerned about the vitamins pills I am taking after reading this book! Terrible stories! "
— Pandakongfu, 10/28/2011 -
" I felt there were too many ill defined sub-plots that kept the story from really moving forward effectively. "
— Tim, 10/27/2011 -
" Would not have finished it had I not been on a road trip. Medical thriller? I think not. "
— Barb, 8/8/2011 -
" Descobri há pouco tempo este autor e já devorei alguns livros. Policiais do universo médico na mesma linha de Robin Cook, só que agora prefiro Michael Palmer. No problem, tenho espaço para muitos amores! :-)<br/>( Efeitos Secundários ) "

" Did this book really need to be tied to Nazis? Probably not. But it was an entertaining read. Felt a lot more like Robin Cook than the other Michael Palmer book I’ve read. "
