Gridlock A Scientific Thriller edition by Alvin Ziegler Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

AZ has written a Medical, medicine, and Pharmaceutical, self prescribed medicine, which was established at CERN. Then Stanford thru Google established a grid that would be unusable by all. However, the Pharmaceutical Corporations were fighting financially and physically. This is an excellent read for the genre....ER.
This book probably accurately reflects what would happen if you came up with a way to perhaps inadvertently put big Pharmacy into financial jeopardy. A tight plot about the battle between a programmer and many enemies. I can almost see it all unrolling just as the author laid it down. I only wish some whiz programmer could do the magic deed of helping with orphan drug creation on a huge scale based on genetics .... well no spoilers here I hope.
I particularly liked the End Note. It emphasized what was real in the story.

In a time when the government, insurance companies, and doctors are taking patient information to the cloud, the fears of the hacking of grid seem well-founded. If we add DNA sequencing to the mix, then it becomes downright scarey. However, I liked the idea of using the grid to ferret out good/bad treatment modalities.

The book was a little ponderous at times with some side stories that were too detailed. However, they were used to complicate the ferreting out of the bad guys so asides can't be eliminated.

While the editing was fairly decent, it tapered off at the end as if the editor grew weary of the task.

I would read another book by this author.
I will give the book three stars for its creativity in creating a story around how the world of computers and how they may be able to help humanity eventually solve the problems of Cancer and other diseases and its relationship to todays pharmaceutical industry. However the story itself, its characters, and how it is written is a two to three star story. The author brings up a lot of side stories which have nothing to do with the main flow of the novel and totally wastes the reader's time. For example, there are a ton of words written about the FBI SAC to make you think he is involved in the plot, which causes the story to drag out unnecessarily while virtually nothing is about Ferguson's daughter, who turns out to be a key player. If the author cleaned up his writing and made it more on point, he would not have readers giving up on the book while only half way through. A good editor or consulting with other writers might help future books.
Would big pharmas really go to theses extremes to stop scientific progress? That is the premise of the story. Even if you can't believe that anyone ( any business) would go to these extremes, I guess it's possible.
The story itself is cutting edge science. Analyzing genes to develop personal medicine is going to happen. For two of the folks in the story, it can't happen soon enough.
Then there's the hacker for hire - and not just for money. The hacker is in it for bragging rights. Guess that's highly likely.
Lot's of good guys - bad guys to go around including a mystery bad guy. And of course a love angle.
In all, something for everyone - but not too much of anything to keep it interesting.
For me, the story seemed to drag in places. I kept dozing off, and restart trying to remember what happened. Not exactly riveting story telling.
The author’s publisher, Loma Vista Press, gave me a copy of this novel in exchange for my review.

Medical thrillers aren’t exactly my wheelhouse. An overload of scientific principles in a recipe for boredom, which is why “Gridlock” was the perfect medical thriller for this reader. Ziegler, who has a strong background in medicine and computer science, gives the reader all of the facts to be convincing but not so inscrutably as to weigh the story down.

“Gridlock” is Ziegler’s first novel and shows the signs of an author with talent looking to tackle what is perhaps a timely subject. At the start of the novel the ill-fated Dr. Hideo Onagi presents the idea to people who might donate to its success he tells them that customized health care will be more expensive but also more effective. Social commentary, poplar or not, sets the stage for this impressively knowledgeable work.

Ziegler’s work features a number of somewhat generic characters. Even the assumed main character, Jude Wagner, seems to lack a unique voice. He’s a somewhat generic lead. What we lack in development, Ziegler makes up for in pacing. Ziegler’s writing style leaves the reader barrelling from big idea to bigger idea crashing into the knowledge nuggets laced through the narrative.

If you like medical thrillers and have a strong interest in current affairs, give this novel a shot. Keep your eyes open for Ziegler’s next novel as this author has the talent and is sure to develop the focus.
I bought this book based on the excellent reviews it received here on . Wow, was I lead in the wrong direction.

The characters in this book stay unbelievably flat. There motivations are never clear and they just act in a very unbelievable way. E.g. after some of the friends of the main character die he just keeps on going with literally no reflection or mourning.
The story itself is unfortunately everything but logical. There are so many logical flaws that I stopped counting. Why is Stanford working with CERN apart from being able to spend ten pages in Switzerland? CERN pops up in the beginning and then never plays a role again in the rest of the book. There are so many more, which I don't want to reiterate as I do not want to spoiler you - in total it really takes the fun out of reading this book.

Last but not least this book is terribly edited. There are plenty of typos, grammatical errors, etc.

If you want a high quality techno thriller, go on looking somewhere else, but don't waste your time with this book.
