Pros: A believable story Cons: Takes awhile to get into it
Michael Palmer is known for his medical thrillers. He is not as well known as Robin Cook, but he writes the same type of chilling tales. What makes these books different from other types of horror or suspense novels is that they are based on scientific ...
Pros: A prescient picture of drug-based terrorism! Cons: There's an awful lot of subject matter left un-finished!
In “The Patient”, Palmer has hypothesized ARTIE (Assisted Robotic Tissue Incision and Extraction), a technology that will assist surgeons in the removal of previously inoperable tumors and crafted a high voltage suspense thriller set in ...
Pros: too many to list, read on........ Cons: you may need a medical dictionary

Pros: Great page turner Cons: Forgotten only days later
Michael Palmer hit on all cylinders with this book as far as a "page turner" goes. His descriptions of a hospital's procedures, especially in the operating room, seem very authentic.
Pros: Rapid-fire action, ripe for movies Cons: Palmer deserves bigger audience
"The Patient" is what "Die Hard" movies are made of: Brilliantly nasty terrorists hectoring innocent folks with only a wisecracking lone wolf to forestall Armageddon, all set in a complex urban edifice festooned with state-of-the-art...
