Life Form: a novel of medical suspense

I got this book when it was first published and loved it - I think I read it over a single weekend. The story was very exciting and the characters were real. You really get into the story and can't wait to turn the next page.

I picked this book up at a local used book store and really didn't have a clue about anything that author Keith Wilson had written in the past. As a fan of the medical thrillers from the keyboards of writers F. Paul Wilson, Michael Crichton, and Robin Cook, I wasn't really expecting much from this "unknown". Boy, was I pleasantly suprised! Life Form is better than anything that Cook has done and is in the same league with Wilson and Crichton.A small New Hampshire town is losing inhabitants to a mysterious disease that only affects them when they leave town for an extended period. No one seems to see any connection until a local school teacher loses his best friend to the mystery ailment. He then spends a considerable amount of time, energy and money to get to the bottom of the mystery. What he finds along the way is more than he's bargained for and almost costs him his job and life.You won't be disappointed Life Form if you like medical thrillers that have a variety of plot twists. My only wish was that it hadn't ended so soon!
