The explosive new thriller from New York Times best-selling author and master of the medical thriller, Robin Cook.

Lynn Peirce, a fourth-year medical student at South Carolina’s Mason-Dixon University, thinks she has her life figured out. But when her otherwise healthy boyfriend, Carl, enters the hospital for routine surgery, her neatly ordered life is thrown into total chaos. Carl fails to return to consciousness after the procedure, and an MRI confirms brain death.

Devastated by Carl’s condition, Lynn searches for answers. Convinced there’s more to the story than what the authorities are willing to reveal, Lynn uses all her resources at Mason-Dixon - including her initially reluctant lab partner, Michael Pender - to hunt down evidence of medical error or malpractice.

What she uncovers, however, is far more disturbing. Hospitals associated with Middleton Healthcare, including the Mason-Dixon Medical Center, have unnervingly high rates of unexplained anesthetic complications and patients contracting serious and terminal illness in the wake of routine hospital admissions.

When Lynn and Michael begin to receive death threats, they know they’re into something bigger than either of them anticipated. They soon enter a desperate race against time for answers before shadowy forces behind Middleton Healthcare and their partner, Sidereal Pharmaceuticals, can put a stop to their efforts once and for all.

Any additional comments?

I'm 4 hours in and I'm having a déjà vu moment. The plot is surprisingly similar to Cook's first novel Coma,. I feel like I'm one step ahead of the story. Anyone else feel the same?

Coma Remake?

The story captures your interest right away. The conspiracy between the drug company and the hospital is plausible but I think some of the resulting strong arm tactics and scientific developments were less so. Still it was an enjoyable listen and I would recommend it.

This story is just an updated version of the book COMA! The heroine and storyline very predictable! Even with all the flaws I enjoyed the narration.

Back in high school I read a book called Coma. The whole time I read this book "Host", I couldn't help thinking I've read this same plot before. I know it is the same author and I don't know if his other books since "Coma" are as similar as this one is, but I always felt one step ahead of what was going on. Yes, there are tense moments and it is written well for a medical mystery (a lot of medical jargon thrown in which I didn't understand all that well). And I guess if you haven't read "Coma" then you might enjoy and be surprised. I wasn't. The narrator does a fine job. I

I've read this before...

loved this book. great narration and a believable story. Reminded me a lot of the book Coma which has always been my favorite medical thriller.

Good Medical thriller

The medical component was interesting but the way the story played out was not particularly creative. The banter between the two main characters was pretty bad.

Average, with goofy dialogue.

A story that could happen!
