review 1: If you like Medical suspense and on top of that the kind of what I call "white house" suspense book, you're bound to like this book. It's a mix between Robin Cook or Michael Palmer, with the like of Vince Flynn or Kyle Mills. The hero in the book is never described as a super hero. On the contrary, things just happen to him, even mistakes. The story take place within 6 hours, so you can imagine the high intensity the author had to put in. Bottom line, It's the kind of book, that can't make you stop. While at work, you keep thinking that it's waiting for you at home. I am sure going to read all Leonard Goldberg's book. It's a pity I just discoed him recently.
review 2: So much more than just a medical mystery - also an excellent political thriller. Leonard Gol... moredberg weaves a tale that opens with an extravagant party in LA, full of distinguished guests who are ingesting a toxin without knowing it. He reveals that the distinguished guests are the President of the United States, the first family, a Russian President and his wife, and many other high ranking members of the government. Goldberg transports the reader to the hospital where the ill party guests are taken. There we meet Carolyn Ross, a registered nurse, and David Ballineau, an ER physician. The pair are called upon to dig deep for strength and exhibit bravery that most people could only dream of possessing.Goldberg created a plot that was entirely, and frighteningly, realistic. His medical knowledge lends absolute authenticity to the medical situations in this story. As an RN myself, I can usually spot errors made by authors who either haven't done sufficient research, or lack medical know how. I didn't spot any errors at all in the medical situations depicted and therefore was swept away into this harrowing tale. Also, Goldberg's plotting is evenly crafted without the sag that inhabits the middle of many stories. This was an amazing thriller. less
