Most of the important cast of Chromosome 6 By Robin Cook, 1997

I tried drawing most of my favourite characters from Chromosome 6 (how I think the look). This book as been my favorite for ages and its killing me that no one knows about this book!

DEREK Raymond!! (British Crime Novelist) 🔴 Book Reading!!

Coma (Robin Cook) "Susan Wheeler is a medical student working at the Boston Memorial Hospital. Young, healthy patients are coming in for routine operations and leaving in permanent comas. Susan investigates, eventually unearthing an Organ Theft conspiracy. Apparently, they started using hospital patients who were already comatose, but demand (and profits) is such that they start artificially inducing brain death in healthy patients undergoing surgery to get more victims."

Excerpt from Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Luo Guanzhong) "Untitled, fictitious story in the larger work, meant to demonstrate Liu Bei's incredible character. He stops at the home of Liu An (a hunter, and one of his relatives). Liu An doesn't have enough meat to feed his lord and his retinue, to he kills, butchers, cooks and serves his own wife so that Liu Bei and company wouldn't be under-served. When Liu Bei finds out this he is shocked, but not outraged, at having been unknowingly fed human flesh. He is, instead, amazed at Liu An's devotion to hospitality (to the point of feeding his lord his own wife), and instead praises him as a model citizen. And this is a story the author inserted to make Liu Bei sound more virtuous and heroic than he was in actual history!"

'...we all realize we are at risk. We're all going to be patients sometime. You can write about great white sharks or haunted houses, and you can say I'm not going into the ocean or I'm not going in haunted houses, but you can't say you're not going to go into a hospital.'

'The best thing about being a writer, particularly a writer of fiction, is that you and you alone are in control. The writing process can be kind'a lonely at times, but it gives one a feeling of power in that the storyline and the characters are totally dependent on your intellect and creativity.'

'I get up and sit myself down even if I want to do something different. You have to push yourself. You have to find that kind of discipline. I figured it out a long time ago. I have to have a separate place in my house to write. Writing is not easy. It takes a lot of effort.'
