2.5/5
good stuff, ale wątek romantyczny zupełnie niepotrzebny

Another great Steven Dunbar title from Ken McClure, fast paced and keeps you hooked right to the end.

highly recommended

Nie jest to na pewno thriller medyczny na poziomie Robina Cooka, ale czyta się szybko i całkiem przyjemnie.
Pozytywnie zaskoczyła mnie informacja, że artykuły medyczne wykorzystane w książce są autentyczne - jak dla mnie to duży plus.
Intryga może nie oszałamiająca, ale całkiem zgrabnie pomyślana i bez większych nieścisłości.
Troszeczkę mi brakowało zwrotów akcji i moim zdaniem było jednak za mało medycyny :)
6/10

If you don’t have anything to read, you can read this book. The characters are not very intriguing, I’d say that they’re without any special personalities. I didn’t expect such ending. The end of the book is a pile of s.ck , by writing this I meant I expected sth ,big’ or ,wow’.

Worryingly believable!

As with all the other Ken McClure books in the Stephen Dunbar series, I found this one to be very worryingly believable and even more so because Ken himself normally supplies links to documents that give his sources for the information contained in his novels. That is not to say that his stories are based on fact but they are certainly very good at showing us what could feasibly happen at some point in the future and since this book was written quite some time ago I would imagine that we are even closer to such situations now than we were then.

Ken is a brilliant story teller and in Dr Stephen Dunbar he has created a hero who is prepared to put himself at risk in order to get to the truth in a Sci-Med investigation. Unfortunately, this also means that he tends to put others around him at risk which means that very often he finds relationships extremely difficult. This story is no different and we are left at the end wondering whether he has finally managed to overcome this problem or whether the start of the next in the series will find him alone once more.

I always enjoy reading these novels as I find them fascinating and exciting, and having read this one in 2 days I conclude that they are very hard to put down.

Another absorbing read from Ken McClure. Probably shouldn't have started reading this just after being vaccinated......

Gripping and tense - frighteningly believable! Very simply written with no unnecessary flowery adjectives used when they’re not needed. An easy and enjoyable read.

[Jack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clever, easy read biomedical thriller that could make one nervous about vaccines. Stephen Dunbar is asked to look at an apparent suicide and uncovers a complicated mystery.

[Angus MacDonald · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very believable and a warning

[Jacob Peled · Rating 5 out of 5]

A top-notch thriller. Every time it seems to us (as well as the hero of the story) that we have reached a dead end, a new detail is revealed. And so the book is full of twists and turns, and unexpected events.

Gripping, well constructed medical thriller / whodunnit. I've read three of his books now, all very good.
