I was very impressed with the beginning of the book. There were a lot of angles that appealed to me. The science was enough to boost the fiction aspect much like a Crichton story. My taste leaning towards the "weird", I was hoping that it would go a more macabre route, but an intense thriller came out of it. The 'Nam scenes were very... relatable. I have no way of saying whether or not they were realistic ( I wasn't there). I don't know if the author was in 'Nam but he writes about it convincingly. I agree that this is a perfect read for the beach. I'm very pleased with the ending, something that never happens. I could have lived with a lot more of the "weird" aspect but this isn't that genre. I can't say what genre it is. This one's for 'em all!
Great thriller, and a fast read

I enjoyed this book very much, and finished it of in 2 sessions. Whether you are interested in medical stuff or not, you will enjoy the author's simple ways of explaining somplex-sounding topics. A quick read and a great thriller, this book has a totally unexpected ending that will make you appreciate the nicely woven plot.
Great Medical Mystery

I'm always looking for good medical mysteries...I love Robin Cook books especially. This is a great page-turner-- I highly recommend Soul Survivor. I look forward to reading more from this new author.
Great 1st Novel. Fun, quick read!

I found this book in the local bookstore. I live in Baltimore and have been a patient in the hospital where the author works. I always enjoy books set in familiar locations. Though the novel is not necessarily Baltimore-centric; I enjoyed it thoroughly. It is a quick read; a day or two should do it. Great for a trip or the beach this summer. Lots of twists and turns and an ending that keeps you a bit off guard.If you like medical thrillers, this one is a winner!
