Query: A new Cook????

Joshua Spanogle's Isolation Ward is a gripping and suspenseful read. The plot is fairly loose throughout the book but does eventually come together. Dr. Nathaniel McCormick (Nate) is an in your face doctor that works for the Centers for Disease Control. The guy doesn't know how to back down, even from his boss and will use a caged rat if necessary (read the book, it'll make sense) to defend himself. Though I like Nate, I'm not sure he's realistic.As I read Isolation Ward, I kept drawing comparisons with the other doctor turned bestselling author, Robin Cook. This is unfair on my part, but I remember reading Cook's first bestseller Coma way back when and the comparison is natural enough. Spanogle is talented, and in time may become as good an author as Cook. Certainly, Isolation Ward is a good start.Good plot, tight dialog, and interesting characters make Isolation Ward a good read.
