Doctor Assassin (A Medical Science Thriller) by Mark R Belsky and Jon DiSavino is a terrorist thriller novel that would appeal most to a diverse audience of mature young adults and adults who enjoy medical science thrillers and who do not mind some sexual scenes. Dr. Max Dent was perfectly happy to put his life as an Israeli Intelligence assassin behind him and is considered to be a very competent heart surgeon. But the decision to take on one final mission might just lead to the end of his new life. Will he be able to stop what could be the biggest threat to human life since the Holocaust and return to his surgery life, or will this threat prove to be his final mission in more ways than one?

Doctor Assassin (A Medical Science Thriller) by Mark R Belsky and Jon DiSavino is a very well-written book with a captivating cover that served to grab my attention the moment I saw it. I have to say that this book reminded me a bit of the TV show 24 with the terrorist threat, but I found that I enjoyed the medical element of this book so much that it made it better than 24. I quite liked the inclusion of Lilah not just as Dr. Max Dent’s girlfriend, but as a character who was working with him to handle the threat. So often girlfriends and wives are included just as token characters in thrillers, so I liked how real Lilah felt and the way that I was able to connect with her emotionally. Overall, I greatly enjoyed following Dr. Max Dent through this thriller and I hope the authors decide to continue to write in this genre as they are quite gifted at it.
