This book is full of surprises....murder, terrorism, duplicity. A real nail-biter. I love his books and was not disappointed by this one at all. Lots of twisted plots which I love.

I enjoyed reading this book very much. Michael Palmer's medical thrillers are a nice departure for me from always reading legal thrillers. The villans in this novel were so evil.

Great suspense, plenty of hospital drama with female neurosurgeon Jessie Copeland as the doctor whose skills bring her to the attention of a ruthless man who will do anything to be treated for his brain tumor. Lots of action, a little more gore than I like, and satisfactory conclusion.

Being an RN of 25 plus years, I have always enjoyed Michael Palmer's books. The layman has no idea how much of his writing is an actual exposure to everyday life in the Medical community - talk to a nurse or a doctor who is a friend and will be truthful. Of course, Michael uses these facts only for his background for wonderful fiction.

Dr. Jessie Copeland, respected neuro-surgeon, teams up with Artie, a robot, to revolutionize brain surgery. A heartless mercenary is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, exactly the type Artie was invented to treat. The mercenary and his co-horts hold hostage Dr. Copeland, the hospital and the city as she works to save him.
