If someone you loved was dying, and you had it within your power to save them, would you? Even if it meant someone innocent had to die to do it?

That is the dilemma facing Dr. David Franklin. Elizabeth Franklin is dying of the same rare genetic brain disorder that killed her mother. He has the money and medical knowledge that could save her.

The life of an innocent infant hangs in the balance, as one nurse struggles to prevent Dr. Franklin from killing her to save Elizabeth.

Medical Chiller and Thriller

This story will grab you quick and keep your turning pages till the wee hours of the morning! The characters are well developed, the narration is excellent, and the story line...well, it is scary and fascinating. As a tiny baby grows outside it's mother's womb and inside a fish tank converted to an artificial womb you will hold your breath at moments and applaud at others. As a long-time reader of Robin Cook, I whole heartedly recommend this book!

Very mesmerizing

Could stop listening last night in fact I listened till 2am this morning. Loved the story and the narration

Plot and intrigue

I enjoyed the overall plot of this book. It is action packed, has character development and there are plot twists. Don’t expect to hate the bad guys or love the good guys... no one is that two dimensional.

This book should come with a warning: very disturbing scenes about unborn babies, miscarriages and birth defects.

I would not recommend it to anyone affected by any of those elements as you will find they recur and cannot easily be skipped over.

Fantastic creative suspenseful first novel

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Rebirth is a suspense novel about a desperate father's attempt to cure his seriously ill daughter by using his profession as a geneticist to manipulate pregnant women's fetuses. The new author's story is replete with villains, romance, a bit of "typing" ,and a bit of unrealistic science, but she pulls it off nicely with a well written, fast moving, suspenseful style.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rebirth?

Don't want to spoil anyone, but my favorite scene was the surprise birth and even more surprising outcome.

Which character – as performed by Ayelet Sror – was your favorite?

One of the things I liked about this book was the evenness of the characters--no one was greater than the other. They were typed a good bit--desperate doctor, Mexican characters, sickly girl--but this is probably typical of new writing.

That said, my favorite character was Janice. Strong yet vulnerable mom-to be.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this book in one sitting! As I mentioned earlier, it was really written well and flowed so smoothly I didn't realize time went by.

Any additional comments?

Rebirth

This is a medical story about an experiment regarding pre mature babies. It's a good fiction and maybe come true in real life.
