Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 448 pages. Daniel Logan has the world at his feet. As the mos t gifted young doctor at New York City's top medical facility, he 's been aggressively wooed to join an exclusive, lucrative privat e practice in the city. Money, celebrity status, and great perks- -but Logan turns it all down. For he's more interested in a diffe rent kind of fame. Logan wants to help find a cure for cancer, an d is accepted into the prestigious American Cancer Institute in W ashington, D.C., to do research with some of the best minds in me dicine--and also some of the most ruthless, cut-throat scientists , who will stop at nothing to protect their own cancer-combative drug studies. In The Magic Bullet, Harry Stein brilliantly depic ts the brutal, deadly competitive world of the A.C.l, where egoma niacal senior scientists jealously guard their research turf from up-and-coming young doctors like Logan and the other new researc hers. When Logan and two of his colleagues unearth a component th at may effectively help fight breast cancer, he learns first-hand just how desperate these scientists are. As the doctors at A.C.I . use all their influence to sabotage his research, Logan frantic ally searches for more information about this wonder drug, the mi ssing piece in the breast cancer puzzle, before the A.C.I. destro ys his career. But the show-down between Logan and the A.C.I. has even greater implications--the life of a highly-placed woman in American politics is in jeopardy, and only Logan's compound can h elp. The Magic Bullet is a first-rate, gripping medical thriller , filled with fascinating--and terrifying--details about the cold -blooded world of high-stakes cancer research. Harry Stein takes a disturbing look at the ivory tower world of medicine, where hub ris, not commitment and compassion, is the rule. Editorial Revie ws From Publishers Weekly Set in the high-stakes world of cancer research, Stein's medical thriller follows a young doctor whose discovery of a potential cure makes him powerful enemies in the m edical establishment. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal The highly political world of medical research is the background for this sus-penseful novel by the author of Hoopla (St. Martin's, 1987). Young, bright, and compassionate, Dan Logan is honored to join a prestigious cancer research institute, even though the faculty and senior staff app ear to care more about personal gain and prestige than finding a cure. Logan and his partner, the lovely Sabrina Como, believe tha t they have found a miracle medicine, but when their trials with human patients begin to go terribly wrong, they are dishonored by their colleagues. Has someone sabotaged their research? Stein's picture of the politics and all-too-human messiness of medical re search is entertaining. Unfortunately, the reader will become dis tracted by other characters and issues that are sketched but not resolved; this dilutes the suspense and blunts the climax of the novel. Nevertheless, fans of medical drama will make this a popul ar choice for most public libraries. --Elsa Pendleton, Boeing Com puter Support Svcs., Ridgecrest, Cal.
