Chris Wiggins has penned a best-seller of a medical thriller to rival the work of Robin Cook. Page after page of authentic Dialogue, riveting action and multi-faceted characters make this hard-to-put-down debut novel a must read. Congratulations Chris Wiggins for this thrilling narrative, keep them coming.

I just finished this exciting book while on vacation in Minnesota. Unfortunately for our society I think Dr. Wiggens captures the greed and selfishness that pervades our world today. He gives the man on the street an accurate view of what managed care is doing to ruin the health delivery system in this country. With the cost of malpractice insurance and the risk of being sued [for any less than perfect result] so high in Mississippi, if I were Dr. Wiggins, I'd close my practice and start my next novel. Job well done!

A great book written by a wonderful orthopedic surgeon. He shows great appreciation for OR personnel throughout this book and in real life. Suspenseful and intriguing...I could not put it down. Can't wait for his next writing.

Chris Wiggins offers up a deliciously evil corporate villain, Durbane Pharmaceuticals, whose sleazy chieftains will go to any length to protect their secrets and their profits against the prying eyes of his anthropologist and physician protagonists. Durbane is working on a substitute blood product worth $billions. The hitch: it is lethally flawed by a variant of Mad Cow Disease, but Durbane tests it, anyway, on penniless Haitians seeking free medicine. Along comes Sharon whose anthropological dream is Columbus' treasure, which she discovers in a Haitian underwater cave along with Durbane's nasty plan for medical plunder. Wiggins, a physician who knows his science, spins an engaging yarn and writes colorful, richly detailed scenes that race from page to page as Sharon and her physician boyfriend Brian Richards take on the titans. Beneath the surface of Blood Feud's rapid-fire action is a modern morality tale about the greed and ruthlessness of corporate medicine. Wiggins applies his needle deftly.

An intriguing blend of modern medical science, history and suspense. A fast-paced fun read. Leaves you wondering - "Could this really happen?"

Even though I don't have a medical background, I found this book hard to put down. It was easy to follow, educational, and most important to me on my vacation....extremely entertaining! I hope this book STAYS a fantasy and has no chance of ever happening for real. Please, you doctors out there...tell me this could never happen.
