Excellent Read A. Estes Terrific book! The story was compelling and moved at a brisk pace. The author was obviously an expert in the medical profession as the technical detail made the story authentic without going into too much jargon and procedure.

I enjoyed the personal struggle of the protagonist with being an agnostic versus a religious believer and with the struggle between. A. Nony Mouse said Highly recommend this book. Excellent story, full of suspense, and frightfully realistic! I didn't want to put it down!

Clearly, the author did a lot of research before writing this. Elliott is a terrific story teller and I hope he writes more!. Judy C. said Exciting Book. The Brink of Disaster kept me in suspense throughout the entire book, an excellent read.The only problem I had with the book was understanding the many medical terms and proceduresbut those terms gave the book it's flavor.
