Now they're teaming up uncover the truth about a terrifying medical experiment involving nerve regeneration and organ transplants. It's backed by millions of dollars. It's protected at the highest levels of government. But there are no volunteers, no donors. There are only ordinary people who check into this Mississippi hospital...and discover that death isn't he worst thing they have to fear. Getting "chosen" is....
Parts of this book are quite good, and parts of it are just okay. Some of the characters are nuanced and fleshed out, while some are one dimensional and puzzling. The ending is what annoyed me the most. It felt forced and rushed and unconvincing.
The premise is good, and the stuff of nightmares; a sort of Frankenstein squared. There are similarities to Robin Cook, Tess Gerritsen and Michael Crichton; but I, personally, vastly prefer their storytelling over Wilson's.
2.5 stars. This book seemed a little disjointed to me - some of it was very good and really had me wrapped up in the story and some of it seemed too far-fetched and unbelievable. The book lost my interest at those times. I may give this author another chance; we'll see.
