Gosh, I used to love a good “doctor novel.” It has been a long time since I read one. This one is good, not great. Quinn Cleary is a new student at The Ingraham, a prestigious medical school that selects on a few students each year. Her first day there she sees a ward full of patients covered head to toe in gauze, and is told that it is special ward for burn patients. She cannot shake the chill she felt when she sees the terror in the eyes of one of the patients there. School is demanding and she is busy studying. Quinn begins to notice a subtle change in her fellow students. They all seem to think the same way. When she takes a job working with a doctor on the “special ward,” she begins to realize something very wrong is going on. Predictable but suspenseful. The would make a much more interesting movie than a book. ( ) no reviews | add a review

This "trimmed-to-the-bone medical cliff-hanger" by the New York Times-bestselling author is "as good as the best of Robin Cook" (James Patterson). Any student should consider themselves lucky to receive an invitation to apply to the Ingraham College of Medicine. About an hour outside of Washington, DC, it's one of the most respected and prestigious institutions of its kind in the United States. With the school completely subsidized by the Kleederman Foundation, students receive a full-ride scholarship for all four years, including room and board. That's a hard deal for Quinn Cleary to pass up. But after she and her new friend, Tim Brown, gain entrance into this dream school, everything soon becomes a waking nightmare as student after student begins behaving as if they were brainwashed. Now Quinn and Tim must hurry to uncover the dark truth before it's too late . . . No library descriptions found. |
