Unbelievable for first book

It kept my attention from the first page. a page turner.Waiting for his next one. I read it on my Kindle2. What a joy!!!

An awesome book by an awesome doctor

I purchased this book for my parents and me. My dad is actually a patient of Dr. Pearson's. The book is great and one that you will not want to put down. Now I know what I'm getting everyone else for Christmas this year. This was such a great novel by an awesome doctor. Thank you Dr. Pearson! I can't wait to read your next one.

Medical Fiction As Good As It Gets

RUPTURE by Scott Pearson is medical fiction at its heart-pounding best. Only a surgeon-author could offer such rare insight into demanding life of a surgeon-scientist. Dr. Eli Branch is caught in an elaborate web of lies and deception -- both past and present -- both professional and personal. As he faces the steep odds against him, we come to admire his courage, loyalty and intelligence. The plot is expertly crafted and the action moves at a pace that will not let you put the book down. Bravo!

A superbly crafted non-stop thriller from beginning to end

Medicine has a decidedly dark side. That's what Eli Branch, who in line to become an outstanding surgeon-scientist, learns when he investigates the suspicious death of one of his patients. Eli unexpectedly finds that his late father (a long-time professor of anatomy at Mid-South Medical College) has spun a web of lies and that untangling them is resulting in more people meeting sudden violent deaths. That's why Eli enlists the aid of forensic pathologist Meg Daily and the two of them find themselves in a life-or-death race against time, a race in which a single false step would prove fatal to them both. The debut novel of author A. Scott Pearson, "Rupture" is a superbly crafted non-stop thriller from beginning to end and highly recommended for community library fiction collections and personal reading lists.

Awesome medical suspense novel

This book was wonderful. Right up there with James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell and Michael Crichton. I loved it. I couldn't believe it was his first medical suspense novel. It was really well written. I hopes he continues to write. I can't wait for the next one.
