Author of the Week
Robin Cook combines suspense, fear, and intrigue with plots drawn from his medical expertise to produce page-turning medical thrillers that explore contemporary medical and bioethical issues. Using a hospital or medical facility as the setting, Cook emphasizes this impersonal environment and doctors' dehumanizing tendency to treat patients as objects rather than people, opening the door for conspiracies and medical horrors. With a simple writing style, Cook uses graphic depictions of operations and other medical processes to play on fundamental human fears. Start with: Coma.
