Knife Under Fire

I was a patient of Dr. Andrews and was not only impressed by his work on me, but also by his work on this book. It moves quickly, and if you are from the SF Bay Area, you will find the references to the local geography fun and interesting. My family enjoyed this book as well.

I had three surgeries on my lumbar spine done by Dr. Brian Andrews and while I used to wait in the waiting room of his San Francisco office I would read his book.It was quite interesting.He is a great writer,but he is an exceptional neurosurgeon.I would have to say that he is the best neurosurgeon in the bay area.

What a great book. If you like the way reading a Ludlum novel makes you feel the atmosphere of the locale his characters carry out their confidential assignments in, you'll be thrilled with this book. You'll feel the atmosphere of the old city. You'll see the beauty of nature and breathe the heavy damp air as you drive in your personally restored porsche roadster down from the million dollar homes in the hills surrounding San Francisco. You'll feel the rush for life that seeing the early morning lights of the city brings as the momentum of the city grabs you and pulls you in. If you like the way Tom Clancy makes you smart, makes you feel that you too understand the technical workings and tactical useage of a complex nuclear submarine, you will feel equally well treated by this book. You will feel the mental exercise and emotional weight of a nuerosurgeon literally accepting the responsibility of another human beings life into your hands. Now, add to all of that a great story line and mystery and you have Knife Under Fire. This book is a good read.
