The Select

THE SELECT F. Paul Wilson covers more ground than any writer I have had the pleasure to read; Sci-Fi, Horror, Thrillers, Medical Mysteries (Mr. Wilson also practices medicine) and his very popular Repairman Jack series which happens to cover all of the areas previously mentioned. The Select is a medical mystery about a top-notch medical school, which only selects the best of the best to be added to its alumni. The school, which seems to be every aspiring doctors dream actually becomes a nightmare for three friends chosen to test for entry exams. The school hides a huge secret and will stop at nothing to keep their activity quiet. I highly recommend this book. I feel this is one of Mr. Wilson's best efforts. I wish he would write more books in this genre but he claims he has nothing left to say in this field and he doesn't want to be repetitive.

I read this book quite awhile ago but never wrote a review for it. I can't recommend this one enough! I still remember it quite well even though I read it 2 years ago. This is one of the best medical thrillers I've ever read. I could not stop turning the pages to find out what would happen to these characters. You won't regret reading this one.

A unique (read the book and find out why) student at a prestigious and ultra-elite medical school begins to suspect that it has darker motives than its public facade of philanthropy. Dark Fantasy writer, creator of the Adversary Cycle, and practicing MD F. Paul Wilson surpasses medical thriller novelist Robin Cook's entire output with seeming little effort. Not once does the book seem unbelievable. I give it my highest recommendation.

F. Paul Wilson delivers in this explosive medical thriller as only he can. From the very first page I could NOT put this one down. I was entranced without feeling bombarded by psychotic jargon. The plot begins simplisticly with Quinn and Tim previewing, then entering, the most prestigious medical school in the world offering a free ride to "the select" would-be doctors but finding that The Inghram is a bit more than just that. There is no denying the sense of the horrific, potential realism of this storyline. What a tribute from a brilliant writer!

The mere possibility of the events depicted in F. Paul Wilson's book 'The Select' makes one of the best, and scariest, books I have ever read. The book is written with knowledge that could only come from a man with first-hand experience in the medical profession. This novel is a page-turner from the beginning. It picks you up and sweeps you away, leaving you soaked long after you've finished. Wilson does not clog the pages with medical mumbo-jumbo that would leave the seasoned reader confused, but delights your senses with clever innuendoes and metaphors. This is a must-read for fans of medical thrillers.
