Customer Reviews

A thrilling ride through the world of medical research!

Howard Simon gets it right the first time! He captivates the reader with this ultra-realistic account of animal rights activists gone mad. The characters are well defined and the action keeps you turning the pages hour after hour. I've read this book several times and it got better every time I read it.

A great read, this book cost me some sleep!

The author's scientific/medical background is apparent in this exciting thriller. Simon does an excellent job in painting a complete picture of his characters. Even the antagonists were people whose motives, if not methods, could be appreciated. A great first novel!

Terrific medical thriller

Howard Simon does a great job, giving us a taut medical thriller with a new kind of bad guy...some may find that aspect controversial, but it makes for a new spin and a great read. I'd highly recommend it; it goes by superfast--I was up all night finishing it. You can tell that he has first hand knowledge of the world of medicine; it shows in his believable writing. Terrific book.

FANTASTIC, A MUST READ FOR FANS OF MEDICAL THRILLERS!

This book is one of the best medical thrillers I have read. The character developement through the plot is exquisite. Dr. Simon takes his readers into the lives and minds of these characters. Although his character develpment is outstandig, this book is truly a suspensful thriller. I found it very difficult to put this book down once I started. I found myself talking aloud while reading it, and a quite a few times felt that "rush" that one gets when watching a suspensful movie; not knowing what is going to happen next! The fact that this is Dr. Simon's debut thriller, only makes me hope that there is more to come from this talented writer. This book gets a "thumbs-up" from this seasoned medical mystery fan.
