I liked Abduction very much.
It kinda made us think in the end that a perfect world would be so much boring and made us realise the disparities and struggles and sufferings are actually so much responsible for our spirit to live.

Like a lot of popular-fiction authors, he repeats the same plot devices and character archetypes in too many of his books. After reading a few, there's really no desire on my part for any more.
I read several of his works in the 1980's, and only "Outbreak" managed to hold my attention -- in spite of myself, the suspense and inherent mystery were gripping. "Coma" was passable, while "Brian" was tragically, unintentionally (one hopes) hilarious.
Just as Peter Benchley wrote too many novels about aquatic life that had the same themes and cardboard characters, Cook's formula of suspense and medical ethics has become tiresome.

I tried Cook's books but didn't get fired up about them. I'm a physician and they don't hold my attention.
However, in that medical thriller genre, I have thoroughly enjoyed books by Gary Braver. "Elixir," and "Gray Matter" were both excellent.

Shock. I liked the twists in the plot.
