This was my fourth book by Allen Wyler. They are free on Audible. The first book I listened to was "Deadly odds" and I didn't like it at all. The other books have been ok. My biggest problem with this book was the narrator! He was really boring to listen to but after a while I got used to his voice.

The book has a lot of medical words but as a former registered nurse I didn't really mind that. Allen Wyler is a Neuro surgeon so he knows what he is talking about in this book. The book could have been shorter it felt like the story wasn't moving forward in the middle of the story. 3.5*

Russel Lawton is taken in by terrorists. As a doctor working in the neurology department these terrorists expect him to achieve an unreachable fete. They demand he separates a mans head from his body with means to keep the brain functioning. Doctor Lawton can't object, because the life of his daughter, Angels is in danger. This book was fantastic and very realistic. It was written by a man educated in neurology himself and so it's full of interesting facts. A very good read. It's kept me interested from the beginning.

Interesting premise from a scientific point of view. Plot was somewhat lackluster but still entertaining.
