REVIEWS
‘His medical thrillers out-chill both Michael Crichton and Robin Cook.’
Daily Telegraph
.
‘McClure writes the sort of medical thrillers which are just too close to plausibility for comfort.’
( Eye of the Raven)
Birmingham Post
.
‘Well wrought, plausible and unnerving.’
(Tangled Web)
The Times
‘A plausible scientific thriller … McClure is a rival for Michael Crichton.’
(The Gulf Conspiracy)
Peterborough Evening Telegraph
.
‘Contemporary and controversial, this is a white knuckle ride of a thriller.’
(Past Lives)
Scottish Field
.
‘Ken McClure looks set to join the A list at the top of the medical thriller field.’
The Glasgow Herald
.
‘McClure’s intelligence and familiarity with microbiology enable him to make accurate predictions. Using his knowledge, he is deciding what could happen, then showing how it might happen … It is McClure’s creative interpretation of the material that makes his books so interesting.’
The Guardian
.
‘Ken McClure explains contagious illness in everyday language that makes you hold your breath in case you catch them. His forte is to take an outside chance possibility, decide on the worst possible outcome … and write a book.’
The Scotsman
‘Original in conception … its execution is brilliantly done … plot and sub plot are structured with skill … the whole thing grabs the attention as it hurtles to its terrifying climax.’
(Requiem)
Independent Newspapers (Ireland).
‘Absolutely enthralling.’
(Crisis) Medical Journal
‘Pacy thrillers from Scotland’s own Michael Crichton.’
Aberdeen Evening Express
