Doctor and author Robin Cook is widely credited with introducing the word 'medical' to the thriller genre and, decades after the publication of his 1977 breakthrough novel, Coma, he continues to dominate the category he created. Robin Cook has successfully combined medical fact with fiction to produce more than thirty international bestsellers, including Outbreak, Terminal and Contagion.

completely hooked * Daily Mail *
Likeable heroes, a compelling medical mystery and growing suspense
- the result is a highly entertaining read. Commercial fiction, at
its best, is pure entertainment. But Cook, like Michael Crichton,
offers readers a smart dissection of contemporary issues that
affect us all * USA Today *
Robin Cook virtually invented the medical thriller in the 1970s
with Coma * Guardian *
