- This is the first Robin Cook book I have read since Coma which was many years ago. I also enjoyed that one as well. I found that the plot in Toxin was fast paced, the character development was excellent, and allowed me to consider the food industry a bit!
- May 04, 2014 Toxin is in many ways a typical Robin Cook medical thriller with many well used tactics that he has put to good use in his other hospital based books, on the other hand though, in this book he tries to bring a realism factor into the story in that, this is a story that really could happen to any one of us.

What do the following have in common: the promise of Botox as the key to everlasting youthful looks; E. coli O157 hamburger disease; a mysterious illness which killed 35 heroin users in 2000; and the assassination by poisoned umbrella-tip of a Bulgarian dissident in the 1970s? The answer is that all of these are caused by toxins, the powerful biological poisons released by bacteria and some plants. In Toxin, Alistair Lax reveals the panoply of ways in which bacterial toxins overcome the defences of our cells. He explains how they work, how they are so successful in causing major diseases, the terrible human impact they have had, and how apparently 'new' diseases arise from them. He also discusses how we can combat toxins, and how we can harness their actions for beneficial purposes. Enlivened by the very human story of the persistence, rivalries, and insights from which modern microbiology grew, Toxin is the first widely accessible account of this exciting and important topic.
