Title: Back cover needed to prepare the reader for a sci-fi flick...
Review: First of all, I LOVE Cook's books. I love the science and facts he usually uses. Even when he does take literary/artistic license, he backs up his imaginative scenarios with some facts. I was totally unprepared for the science fiction utopian storyline of Abduction- there isn't even a hint on the back cover to tell you what's coming. I figured "Oh, maybe the oceanographers bring some oddball bacteria back with them," but noooo, the oceanographers are sucked into a bizarre utopia of lazy, beautiful humans. As another review said, there are no likable characters, so I found myself not caring about what happened. The twist at the end was a bit silly and felt very forced, as did many of the scenes. I'd recommend it to someone else as a for-fun, kicks-and-giggles read, but I would make sure they know Abduction is not a medical thriller.
