My husband and I read this one while we were on a recent driving trip....we both say this one kept us riveted! A real page turner....I enjoyed it because of my medical backround being an RN for close to 30 years...had never read Michael Palmer before, but will be looking for another of his---and soon!

Wow! It was great! I couldn't put it down when I got to the last fourth. I was up until 2 am.

Another excellent medical thriller from Michael Palmer! Couldn't put it down!
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.
