Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Medical Thrillers: Was Favorite books of 2007?



Robin Cook was the first medical thriller author I ever read.  I liked him
so well that I thought I'd try others.  Another book in the genre I liked
was Sand Man by Sean Castello.  I may or may not have the author's name
spelled right but I'm too tired to go look it up just now.  Anyway, people
were talking about medical thrillers on another list I'm on and someone
suggested Michael Palmer.  I'd never heard of him before.  I'm reading my
first book of his right now, The Fifth Vile, but I only like it okay.
Sometimes I'm caught up and fascinated and in other parts I'm a little
bored.  I'll finish it out though and see what I think then.
Thanks Rose for your suggestions below. I've never read Gerritsen before. I'll go look her up, and then go to bed with Michael Palmer... wait... er... ... 
I mean with his book!

Happy reading,
Allison

I think the other books in the series are
Contagion
Chromosome 6
Vector
The Marker
Crisis
Critical

I actually have read them all and they are great.

If you like Robin Cook, try Tess Gerritsen too.  I learned about here on
this list, and am glad I did, have read all her books now, some from NLS,
some from Bookshare and some from Audible.

Might also try Michael Palmer, we have a lot of his on Bookshare.

Oh Sharon, good choices.  I like Robin Cook too.  I haven't read the ones
you've suggested though.  I'll have to check 'em out.  I've read Mutation
and Shock by Cook and I really enjoyed both of them.  They're creepy in a
fun sort of way. I also read Blindsight by Cook, but I didn't really like 
it.  It was the first in a series, about doctor Lori something or other,
and
it's a very popular series, so I think I'll try another one to see if I
like
it any better.  I figure that if Cook continued that series there must be
something likable about it if I stick with it. But I definitely recommend 
both Mutation and Shock.

Best,
Allison

The first five of Robin Cook's books: The Year of the Intern, Fever,
Brain,
Coma, and Spinks I'm sure that spelling is wrong.

Hi all,

It's possible that, like me, you all like hearing about new books to
read.
So my question to the list is, what are some of the best books you've
read
from Bookshare during 2007? I'm curious to see what everyone has read in 
the past year.  So drop us a message and share your favorites.

All the best,

Allison
