Summary: contagion
Comment: One of Robin cook's best book, it's a medical thriller like almost of his books.
there are a lot of action and suspense.
The story is exciting, you never get bored.
It's sometimes disgusting because Jack Stapleton is a legist doctor.
The story: one day one "patient" of Jack has the pest and then three others strange disease appeared. Jack investigates in the Manhattan General hospital. There they don't like him and try to kill him.
Jack wants the truth so he continue to investigate.

If you want to know more read the book!
sometimes, the medical jargon in Robin Cook's novel does not make it difficult reading. Most of the medical terminology is explained sufficiently for the reader to understand the significance of the medical find.
This is the first time we hear of Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery. We hear of them again in Chromosome 6 and Vector. Robin tells you in more detail about Jack and Laurie then now the latter on. There is the plane crash that takes the life of Jack's family and how he leaves being a eye doctor to be a medical examiner.
I Highly recommended it!

Summary: Robin Cook scores again with Contagion
Comment: In 1995, Robin Cook produced another medical thriller page-turner with Contagion, the book in which NYC medical examiners Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery first team up (they also appear in the later Cook novels Chromosome Six & Vector). A large corporate hospital starts having odd unexplained infectious deaths, first plague, quickly followed in succession by tularemia, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, & influenza. Jack makes his early reputation in this novel by figuring out the diagnoses &, in the course of his investigations, gets caught up in the murderous scheme in the background. Halfway through the book, you think you know who done it, but you're probably only half right, as it's a pretty big surprise toward the end. The plot interweaves medical rivalry, bureaucratic infighting, Madison Avenue advertising, cutthroat corporate politics, & big business medicine. While not Robin Cook's best novel, Contagion is a satisfying read & difficult to put down once started.
