About this listen

Two graduate students decide to solve their financial problems by becoming egg donors at an exclusive, highly profitable fertility clinic on Boston's North Shore. But second thoughts and curiosity prompt the two women to find out more about their donated eggs. Obtaining employment at the clinic under aliases, they soon discover the horrifying aims of its research, immediately putting their lives, and their sanity, irrevocably at risk.

Posited on up-to-the-minute science, Shock is a spine-tingling novel of medicine run amok by the best-selling master of medical suspense.

"As Burton provides a skillful narration, with on-target age and gender changes, the listener is drawn into the complex plot. The story is exceptionally well done." (AudioFile)

"One of the most memorable of Robin Cook’s medical thrillers.” (Associated Press)


“[An] infectious medical thriller…delightfully readable.” (Kirkus Reviews)

A very good book. I found it very engaging. It may be a little far fetched, but when it comes to Robin Cook all things are possible in the medical field.

Not great,but okay. Probably 100% better on paper - so that's a consideration! Just a little too sing-song for me.

Okay Robin Cook book

Another great book by Robin Cook, with usual accurate medical information expected by a great doctor and author.

Classic Robin Cook

I have read most his BOOKS that he wrote & published by 2004 but I had some serious medical issues & i couldn't get to library.
I love his writing style. I could read a book in a day & maybe start another one.
He writes on little known but real medical conditions (like stem cells or new vectors that spread disease). I noticed after reading his beginning books, you could usually hear about that situation in the news & journals. It's as if his books prompted the world to look into the posibilities.

The book was better. But...this reading was a 4.5

I barely got through this. very disappointing from Robin Cook.
Hated narrator's voice. What a waste of time and money.

Boring and Predictable

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Another Cook book that's pre-perfecta formula for Robin Cook. Probably too late to return this one Again it's a book written before Cook got the formula prefects. Verbose, over excited phrasing that leads Nowhere
