Cook, Robin

• Mutation (3)

  • Cook writes thrillers in the same genre as Crichton and the comparison between the two authors is won hands down by Michael Crichton. Here, Cook writes about a child prodigy, the result of a geneticist's experiment with his own son. Somehow, the parents have no idea that their son, rather than attending elementary school, has designed a Nobel-prize-worthy genetic experiment in a multi-million dollar lab full of stolen equipment not 500 yards from where his father works every day. Not only that, he runs a drug cartel and, well, you get the idea... I could suspend disbelief for a good story or good technical style. Cook delivers neither.
