review 1: Medical thrillers are a peculiar category, I suppose in the same way that culinary mystery books are. You take a protagonist who has no business being involved in crime fighting or terrorism or anything of the sort and throw them into a situation and suddenly they're Steven Seagall, "I'm just the cook" as he whips through a squad of mercenaries. In this version, a neuroscience researcher suddenly finds himself involved in a Nazi plot and by the time we're halfway through the book he's involved in a bizarre chain of violence that has him jetting around the world taking on the bad guys, including, with supposedly no prior training, killing off more than one of them. The book definitely requires some serious suspension of disbelief. On a writing level it's pretty well written... more and engaging, though could use some serious proofreading (a few pet peeves showup, like the misuse of there/their/they're and fair/fare, and more...).
review 2: David Myers is a neurosurgeon at the University of Cincinnati willing to bend the rules to join the elite group of researchers who dominate the emerging field of gene therapy. But just when success is within reach, his cherished career is threatened when he discovers a terrible secret. He and his family have been unknowing subjects in a fifty year-old genetic experiment. And unless he can unravel the mystery, none of them are safe. less
