Acerca de esta escucha

New York Times best-selling author Robin Cook takes on the cutting-edge world of gene modification in this pulse-pounding new medical thriller.

When an unidentified, seemingly healthy young woman collapses suddenly on the New York City subway and dies upon reaching the hospital, her case is an eerie reminder for veteran medical examiner Jack Stapleton of the 1918 flu pandemic. Fearful of a repeat on the 100th anniversary of the nightmarish contagion, Jack autopsies the woman within hours of her demise and discovers some striking anomalies: first, that she has had a heart transplant, and second, that, against all odds, her DNA matches that of the transplanted heart.

Although the facts don't add up to influenza, Jack must race against the clock to identify the woman and determine what kind of virus could wreak such havoc - a task made more urgent when two other victims succumb to a similar rapid death. But nothing makes sense until his investigation leads him into the fascinating realm of CRISPR/CAS9, a gene-editing biotechnology that's captured the imagination of the medical community...and the attention of its most unethical members. Drawn into the dark underbelly of the organ transplant market, Jack will come face to face with a megalomaniacal businessman willing to risk human lives in order to conquer a lucrative new frontier in medicine - and if Jack's not careful, the next life lost might be his own.

The book was great. very scientifically sound, scary and riveting as a possible future example of a pandemic.
BUT
it was impossible for me to sympathize with Jack. The guy is beyond selfish. he ignores his work in pursuit of the subway case and lies to his wife all the time. He has NO sympathy for his wife's position as his boss and disrespects her constantly. He is right a lot, but he is also always so damn sure he is I was constantly hoping he'd be wrong. He also seemed quite sure that he alone was solving this case despite a massive number of people, mainly Aeritha, seriously helping him along.
The book really was wonderful, but I just wanted somone to punch Jack in the face the whole time haha

Good book, massive jerk as the main character

The reader talks too fast so you have to totally concentrate on what he is saying.

narrator, great! I loved the twists and unexpected turns. I was a little disappointed the ending came kind of abruptly. I felt there could have been a sequel or hanging ending that led to a subsequent novel.

pretty not bad

Pandemic, its another win for. Jack and Laurie series..I love this series of medical thrillers

Great Timing

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

The main character is absolutely insufferable, constantly talking about how he has to resist the urge to be sarcastic and inflammatory at every turn, even when he KNOWS he needs to be professional.

The story feels as if it tries to build stakes, but then they just get magically resolved by things we never see in the background.

It's very anticlimactic.

I wanted to like this book, it's an interesting concept. The execution leaves much to be desired.

lack of a good story arc

good book

I didn't like this book as much as most of the other Robin Cook books that I have read. I found Jack to be obnoxious and it got really annoying as the story got more intense. He seemed more like a rebellious teen than a grown professional highly educated man. On top of that, I found the performance very distracting. George Guidall reads in a very halting or perhaps broken way. I think it added to the annoyance of the main character. Perhaps I would have enjoyed the story more if I had read it rather than listening to the narration provided.

Distracting performance
