Average Rating:

Rating: - Boston Again Attacked in Medical Thriller
Ben Mezrich joins Robin Cook in unleashing medical disaster on the poor unsuspecting inhabitants on Boston. Once again big business looks to maximize profits at the expense of the consumer. Although the premise of this novel is still a bit far fetched at the dawn of the 21st Century, who knows what the future may hold. This is a well written story with interesting and very believable characters. At 283 pages it is a overnight can't put down book. Look for an interesting and quite novel use of melons.

Rating: - Soon To Be Avaliable
