El doctor Daniel Lowell y su asistente (y amante) Stephanie son científicos que investigan en el campo de la biotecnología celular. Están desarrollando una posible cura para enfermedades como Alzeihmer, Parkinson o diabetes. La investigación se basa en transplantar células sanas para alterar el ADN de las células enfermas. Los experimentos que realizan con ratones dan muchas esperanzas de éxito y el próximo paso es experimentar con humanos. El trabajo de Lowell se ve totalmente paralizado y la empresa que le financia retirará todos los fondos si la ley se aprueba. Estará arruinado. Pero de repente, el senador Ashley le cita en secreto para confesarle que él sufre de Parkinson, lo cual implica el final de su carrera política. Quiere probar el nuevo tratamiento de Lowell y, si funciona, promete apoyar su investigación. Ashley también le hace una exigencia inesperada: las células que usen para el transplante han de proceder de la Sábana Santa. Conseguir unos fragmentos de hilo del sudario será toda una aventura y un fascinante argumento secundario.

2.0 Abduction
I've never read Robin Cook before, and this was not a good first start. The plot was rather shopworn -- humans stumble upon an utopian society only to discover it has what they consider a "dark side" and try to escape. It was like watching an episode of the original Star Trek, but at least those plo...

3.0 Seizure
Sadly, this is not one of Robin Cook's better works.Cook takes on the controversial world of stem cell therapy. "Seizure" handily debunks many of the myths about therapeutic cloning (as opposed to reproductive cloning), but the characters seem trite. First, there is Daniel. He's the egotistic MD/P...
