Don't look for nice things to happen to good people

This medical thriller draws on current scientific research to posit a plausible pandemic birthed by the profession that is supposed to refrain from harming us. Hard sci-fi blends with geo-commercial politics in a slam-skid terrifying thriller that will haunt you. Bad guys push at you from at all levels of power. There is a hero, gritty, falling apart, pulled together, and out to protect his family and the earth. It reads as though written for Michael Douglas. Spend six bucks, people, and clear out the next few evenings. Jan in Radnor Twp.

The Xeno Solution

Nelson Erlick is on the fast track to being recognized with the likes of Michael Chrichton with this latest book. The Xeno Solution has surpassed his previously released GermLine, which I also thouroughly enjoyed. Xeno Solution is a non-stop thriller from begining to end. The complex plot twists, and turns, and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. A must read for those that enjoy a medical thriller. Nicely done.

Good Thriller

Xeno Soultion by Nelson Erlick reminded me of a classic Robin Cook thriller, with a dose of Michael Crichton for good measure. The topic in this rollercoaster is Xenotransplantation, whereby animal organs are used in humans. Cook covered similar ground in Chromosome 6. Chromosome 6 was excellent, but very predictable plot-wise. Xeno Soultion, however, is wholly unpredictable, and I have not read another author as ruthless. I would recommend it if you are looking for a thriller with a glimmer of intelligence.

Good Luck Setting This Book Down

This book is not like anything you have read before, none of that feeling of having read the same plot before and the names are new, no, I will not mention authors names like Robin Cook or Michael Palmer. This is refreshing and scary reading and better than his first book GermLine which I enjoyed. Best, Bill
