Robin Cook : A Critical Companion/Online

Like Arthur Conan Doyle before him, best-selling novelist Robin Cook has turned from the practice of medicine to that of writing popular suspense fiction. Widely recognized as the "Master of the Medical Thriller," Cook uses the medium of the popular novel to address a range of social issues: environmental pollution, gender inequality in the workplace, the risks inherent in the common practice of secrecy in science research, and, above all, the ramifications of medicine's transition from profession to corporate industry. This study analyzes in turn each of Cook's medical thrillers, from Coma to Contagion.Stookey, Lorena Laura is the author of 'Robin Cook : A Critical Companion/Online', published 2002 under ISBN 9780313326448 and ISBN 0313326444.
