Medical student Susan Wheeler attempts to unravel the baffling mystery of several cases of unexplained coma at Memorial Hospital in Boston, rapidly uncovering a vast, sinister conspiracy that puts her own life in danger. Sounds exciting, but after a promising beginning, Cook undermines the whole thing with his ludicrous characterization of Susan (and everyone else in the book), incompetent criminals, and the logical union of both: laughably unbelievable crisis resolutions. It's too bad, too, because the plot is genuinely disturbing. At least the medical portions are realistic and fun, in a queasy, glad-it's-not-me sort of way.
