As usual, Cook has come up with an intriguing idea for a medical thriller, but can't get off his soapbox long enough to tell it.

This time the bogeyman is Big Pharma, directing an unlikely plot to create Stepford Docs willing to prescribe only their company's medications. There's also a subplot about their acquiring fetal tissue for experimentation via performing unnecessary abortions, which brings in the young hero whose unexpectedly pregnant wife is in jeopardy.
