| Plot Summary of Extreme Measures |
|---|
"One of the best books by Michael Palmer and quite
different from the not-so-good movie they made on it,
Extreme Measures is very compelling, especially for the
ones who enjoy medical thrillers or Robin Cook. A very
nice reading. A wonderful book."
Marco Aurelio, Resident Scholar
