Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this “infectious medical thriller” (Kirkus Reviews) from the renowned author of Coma, two young women, curious about their donated eggs, uncover a plot more sinister than either of them could have imagined. . . .

“Leave it to doctor-turned-novelist Robin Cook to scare us all to death.”—Los Angeles Times
 
Graduate students Deborah Cochrane and Joanna Meissner respond to a campus newspaper ad that promises to solve their financial problems: An exclusive, highly profitable fertility clinic northwest of Boston is willing to pay top dollar to a few attractive, slim, athletic Ivy League egg donors.
 
But second thoughts and curiosity prompt the two women to find out more about their donated eggs. Obtaining employment at the clinic under aliases, they soon discover the horrifying aims of its research, immediately putting their lives—and their sanity—irrevocably at risk. . . .

    Any book that requires you to buy a sequel to find out what the outcome of the entire book is an underhanded and illegitimate way to make reader buy the next book. Too bad.

    Thrilling story but it is a continuous story. Now I have to find the second book to see how it ends.

    This is the worst I've eat from Robin Cook. I found myself wondering is I had missed something. Poorly written and even worse story, Shock stands out as mistake for Robin Cook.
    The only shock was the ending which was a huge diss appointment

    Despite the fact that it was a good read and raced toward a very suspenseful conclusion, the biggest surprise here is the abrupt and inconclusive ending. A disappointment.

    I was interested all through the whole book but the ending was a huge letdown. I love Robin Cook novels but this ending was not up to par.
