The Select. F.Paul Wilson.1994. Gosh, I used to love a good “doctor novel.” It has been a long time since I read one. This one is good, not great. Quinn Cleary is a new student at The Ingraham, a prestigious medical school that selects on a few students each year. Her first day there she sees a ward full of patients covered head to toe in gauze, and is told that it is special ward for burn patients. She cannot shake the chill she felt when she sees the terror in the eyes of one of the patients there. School is demanding and she is busy studying. Quinn begins to notice a subtle change in her fellow students. They all seem to think the same way. When she takes a job working with a doctor on the “special ward,” she begins to realize something very wrong is going on. Predictable but suspenseful. The would make a much more interesting movie than a book. ( )

A captivating novel of medical intrigue and power. ( )

I really liked this story. All medical thrillers should be as easy to read as this one. Totally captivating and fast paced, this book is why F. Paul Wilson is on my top 5 favorite authors list. ( )
