Happy Birthday, Robin Cook! May your special day be contagiously joyful and filled with vital signs of laughter. You've masterfully diagnosed our boredom for decades, prescribing thrilling page-turners that keep us awake at night—partly from suspense, partly from hypochondria.From "Blindsight" to "Contagion," you've skillfully blended medical facts into pulse-pounding fiction, making readers everywhere suspicious of coughs and sneezes. Your novels have not only topped bestseller lists but also infected Hollywood screens with gripping adaptations. Here's wishing you another year full of creative breakthroughs—and fewer fictional epidemics!
Cheers to the doctor who makes house calls through bookstores worldwide!
