    “Master of the medical thriller.”—The New York Times

    In his most prophetic thriller yet, Robin Cook goes behind the headlines on cloning and genetic manipulation, blending fact with fiction in this terrifying bestseller.

    In the jungles of equatorial Africa, a biotechnology giant has taken transplant surgery and animal research to a new level—where one mistake could bridge the evolutionary gap between man and ape and forever change the genetic map of our existence.

    Meanwhile, in New York City, Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery are working on a seemingly unrelated murder of a mobster, only to find some very odd things once their victim is on the autopsy table...
    Praise for Chromosome 6:

    “State-of-the-art genetic manipulation, revolutionary organ transplants, even a veiled hint of cloning—suspense master Robin Cook, ever on the edge of medical adventure, is at it again, only a step ahead of the fast-moving marvels of the real-life laboratory ... compulsively readable.”—The Anniston Star
    © John Earle
    Robin Cook, M.D., is the author of over forty books and is credited with popularizing the medical thriller with his groundbreaking and wildly successful 1977 novel, Coma.
