About this listen
Failed surgeon David McBride is in exile from the surgical community after making a costly error in judgment. Down but not out, he perseveres and is given a second chance to establish a career in surgery. But, as McBride stands on the threshold of a new life, the malignant underside of his fellow man intervenes.
Under the threat of violence, David is forced to perform illegal organ harvests in a makeshift operating room hidden in a dilapidated meatpacking warehouse in lower Manhattan. Unable to resolve the excruciating moral dilemma faced each time he invades the body of an unwilling victim, David McBride fights to free himself from the situation and in the process, loses everything. When he finally loses the last shred of his humanity, he seeks revenge with surgical precision...and instrumentation.

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

I’d never read a book in the medical thriller genre before and it worked for me. It was engaging and entertaining. Good book. I say give this a go even if you've never tried out this genre before.
As you probably know, a narrator can totally make or break an already great book. I’ve had to stop listening to what were probably good books, but I just couldn’t take the narrator’s voice. The narrator for this one, who happens to be a friend of mine, totally nails it. I was a bit nervous going in because I don’t know what I’d have done if he'd been awful. Luckily, he’s a great narrator and I don’t have to worry about that now. 10/10 will listen to more books he narrates. I look forward to finding more books he's narrated.
Thrilling thriller and great narration
