Robin Cook is a good writer. His books are always interesting. However although this book is no exception, it is basically an expanded short story, more a novella than a novel. It could have been much shorter if Cook had not drawn out the narrative to the point of excessive repetition. This is not one of his better works.The underlying theme is interesting, but seriously overdone. The character's anguish is overdrawn. Acceptable Risk is a good time filler if you just want something to read. Otherwise I would not recommend it. ( )

Acceptable Risk was quite a good book; it blends the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600s together with events in the present where a scientist discovers a new drug produced by a fungus found in the basement of someone who was executed for witchcraft.
The scientist then has dreams of becoming rich by bringing a new miracle drug to market and in the rush to get it ready begins testing it on himself and his team, being a Robin Cook book it doesn't take much pondering to work out things don't go as planned.
I found the mixture of past and present enthralling and thought it really stimulated the imagination. ( )

Its been a long time since I have read a Robin Cook novel. I had fun with this one. The book has a long prologue that takes place in the late 1600's, in Salem, where a woman named Elizabeth is tried and hung for being a witch. Move up 300 years to Kim, Elizabeth's descendant. She is the co-owner of the original land of home of Elizabeth and family. She meets and starts to fall for a scientist, Edward. Together the look into the families hidden past. Along the way the come across some fungus that Edward tries to prove is what caused the 'ifflictions' that occurred all those years ago. However, it is so much more that what he anticipated.
This novel is of two parts. Medical mystery/thriller as Edward tries to use the new findings in his lab and historical mystery as Kim researches her family history to uncover the truth. I feel the author did a good job blending the two. I do feel the ending was a bit abrupt and jumped forward too quickly for the final chapters, but I understand that the medical search was also a main focus that was mostly done being told. The pace at the beginning was good, then slowed toward then middle, then over-rushed the last 40 pages. I wish Cook spent just a bit more time cover the relationship between Edward and Kim. The entire time is seemed very awkward and fake. Other than that, it was nicely done for what it was. ( )

Not really what I think of for a medical thriller. More like an historical mystery with a dash of romance and some medical jargon. It was interesting and there was some suspenseful parts. I am glad this wasn't my first Robin Cook novel, as its definitely not my favorite or what I expected. Not a bad story though. ( )

This is the first Robin Cook's books that I have ever read.
Usually I'm not into Medical thrillers, however, this one was recommended to me because of my interest in the Salem Witch trials.
I really enjoyed the book. It was a quick read and kept me guessing what was going to happen next. ( )

Subjects

From the roots of an ancient witchcraft .. a new terror to destroy.

With billions of dollars at stake, every scientist in America is fighting to discover the next Prozac, the latest 'feel good' drug.

Edward Armstrong believes he has hit the jackpot. He has isolated a stunningly effective anti-depressant from a bacterial mould first uncovered over two hundred years ago.

But there is more to the drug than anyone could have imagined. When Edward turns violent and the corpses of mutilated animals appear near the laboratory, his girlfriend decides to investigate the truth about this new 'miracle' drug. Before it claims any more innocent lives..

From the best-selling doctor whose high-voltage thrillers regularly quicken readers' pulses comes a harrowing tale of greed, abandoned ethics, and ambition run awry in the newest area of medical intervention: cosmetic psychopharmacology.

Prozac-like drugs are being prescribed not only for their original purposes but increasingly to alter individual personalities to currently valued norms. With dead-on accuracy and the pre-science of tomorrow's headlines, Robin Cook explores the perilous intersection where fame and unfathomable lucre waylay and seduce the very best and brightest of those sworn to do no harm.

When neuroscientist Edward Armstrong begins dating Kimberly Stewart, a descendant of a woman who was hanged as a witch at the time of the Salem witch trials, he takes advantage of the opportunity to delve into a pet theory: that the 'devil' in Salem in 1692 had been a hallucinogenic drug inadvertently consumed with mould-tainted grain. In an attempt to prove his theory, Edward grows the mould he believes responsible from samples taken from the Stewart estate. In a brilliant designer-drug transformation, the poison becomes Ultra, the next generation of antidepressants with truly startling therapeutic capabilities.

Once again, the writer who invented high-tech horror has created a tantalizing medical thriller enriched by the disturbing ring of truth.
