Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he’d been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

I learned a lot about the behavior of volcanoes and the many associated problems, like the Black Death, acidic water and poisoned air.

It’s hard to find an employer who doesn’t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want.

I loved the ongoing suspense and the fast paced story, but the cast of characters was sometimes hard to keep straight especially when I had to keep putting the book down and not getting back to it for a while.

Jenna’s parents had finally given in, and there she was, at a New York club with her best friends, watching the legendary band Avenue A, carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist, Jake Kincade. Then, from the stage, Jake catches her eye, and smiles. It’s the best night of her life. It’s the last night of her life. Minutes later, Jake’s in the alley getting some fresh air, and the girl from the dance floor comes stumbling out, sick and confused and deathly pale. He tries to help, but it’s no use. He doesn’t know that someone in the crowd has jabbed her with a needle.

It was a real treat to read a new JD Robb book! The story was great, as usual, and Eve’s quirks never fail to entertain.

When Jennifer Brady returns to Northern Arizona University for her sophomore year, she quickly becomes a big sister to her new roommate, Beth Rankin, a brilliant yet sheltered 16-year-old freshman. For a homeschooled Beth, college is her first taste of both freedom and unfettered access to the internet, and Jenny is concerned that she is too naive and rebellious for her own good. Her worries are well-founded because one day Beth vanishes, prompting Jenny to alert campus authorities, local police, and her mom, Sheriff Joanna Brady - who calls in a favor.

I was so happy to re-read this book and I adore Sheriff Brady! So many good stories and varied characters ! Can’t wait to read another one. some people may think some of the emotions sappy, but the story wouldn’t have been the same without them.

Story was intriguing but too much medical jargon.

My main complaint about this book is the repetitive use of MRSA. At the beginning of the book the author should have introduced the MRSA and then said, otherwise known as MERSA. The repeated use of the MRSA letters got very boring!!
There were too many stereotypical thugs also.

The author conveyed very nicely just how confusing it would be to suddenly lose 10 years of your life. There was a nice mix of old and new thoughts the character had and a surprising ending.

This book is so unlike anything else Patterson has written. It got off to a slow start and was confusing at times but it turned out to be very gripping.

Palmer has done it again with this medical mystery novel. At times the medicine part was a little hard to follow and somewhat far fetched. The characters were engaging and the action fast paced. Book is well worth reading.
