Rating:  Summary: The Petri-Dish Is Not The Way To Go Review: Many women dream of getting married, living in a big house with a Benz and having children with the man she loves. Without a man in the picture, it must be impossible to create another being with the hopes of cherishing and cuddling this newborn; wrong! What if someone told you that babies could be grown outside of a womb, that you would be able to conceive a child by doodling with an egg and sperm in a petri dish and grow this bundle of joy in an aquarium. Unethical, or is it? With scientists and their stubborn intellect, they can create anything. This scientific thriller is an innate beginning of a nightmare. Charles Wilson's suspenseful mystery, Embryo, casts its audience with an anxiety that makes the reader ponder to several conclusions; this book is only inspiring to those of the medical world, others would perceive the plot as an unbearable book of superficial characters and a mystery that cannot be solved to the right aspect. Supermodel Bailey Williams, beautiful and articulate at the same time, is desperate for a baby, but she does not want to give birth because of potential health risks caused by a car crash in the early days. With the help of her friend Ross, they search for a prospective doctor, Dr. Post, a neurosurgeon who has successfully performed out-of-womb births. When Bailey agrees to offer vast amounts of money to fertilize one of her eggs, Dr. Post immediately sets himself up for the procedure. Bailey, unaware of the dangerous side affects, is clueless but continues to proceed with the sought-out doctor. Charles Wilson is aspiring to the medical world with suspense of twists and turns that come out of nowhere. Wilson's creative shocker involves a new step towards medical science and a theorized aspect of human fertilization without the thought of its consequences. Embryo, is a well thought out plot for science fiction admirers and concludes with a bang.
Rating:  Summary: move over, John Grisham Review: Mississippi has yet another great writer to brag about. Embryo was a suspenseful, fast-paced medical thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. The technology used to grow embryos outside the womb was explained in layman's terms so that I pretty much understood it. And like great science fiction, it seems to follow real-life scientific developments (i.e., Dolly the sheep). What a scary thought that events in this book really could parallel real life! Charles Wilson always gives me something to think about. In addition, toward the end of the book, just when I thought I had it figured out, the plot took a totally unexpected turn. That shows a truly great suspense writer. I agree with reader from Newport News that Wilson can easily join the ranks of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton.
