Amazon.com
When Robin Cook wrote Coma in 1977, the idea of hospital patients being incubated for their vital organs sounded like science fiction. Twenty years later, this gripping thriller about a thriving international black market in human hearts, livers and kidneys could come from tomorrow's "Nightline." Author Gerritsen was an internist before she switched her energies to writing, and her experience shows in every scene. When young surgical resident Dr. Abby DiMatteo assists at her first "harvest" (the removal of living organs from a patient declared legally brain dead) at Boston's posh Bayside Hospital, "she felt vaguely nauseated by the whine of the blade, the smell of bone dust," neither of which seem to bother the veterans. It's obviously a personal memory being mined for good fictional purposes. (Gerritsen wrote paperback romance novels before Harvest: Check out her Keeper of the Bride and Thief of Hearts.)

From Booklist
Rarely does a woman look up from an operating table to see her fiancewielding a scalpel to harvest her liver for a transplant. Abby DiMatteo, second-year surgical resident at Boston's Bayside Hospital, has precisely that experience. The trouble starts when DiMatteo and her senior resident sidetrack a heart scheduled for the wife of a wealthy businessman and have it placed in a teenager. The businessman then launches a cruelly effective personal and professional campaign against DiMatteo. Meanwhile, the Russian mafia is carrying on an extremely profitable black market in human organs harvested from orphans who believe they are bound for adoption in the U.S. Detective Slug Katzka slowly comes around to DiMatteo's side and ultimately saves her from her lover's scalpel. Retired internist Gerritsen's first novel is a well-paced and smoothly written story that demonstrates she knows people as well as medicine. William Beatty

I read this book in two days. I had previously read Tess' other two books, Life Support, and Bloodstream. While both of those were excellant reads, Harvest was the best. She combines page turning suspense, with an professional and insightful medical touch. She does not use medical jargon that would confuse the readers either. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a thrill ride. Gerritsen is an amazing author, up there in talent with the best of Medical Suspense Writing. Well worth your time.

The book kept me in attention from the first to the last page. Excellent story line and realistic explanations for everything. Reading "Harvest" is like taking a journey into Bayside Hospital! Truly amazing book. I was looking for a book to read, and took this one of the shelf in the bookstore without knowing how good it is! I'm glad I found this book! I have already read it 3 times! It is Excellent!!!

Tess Gerritsen really did an excellent job with this book. Keeps reader's attention from the first to the last page. The Book virtually takes the reader into the action of the book and you can feel the stress and fear Abby is going through. A well thought plot, with some descriptive scenes. I recomend this book for everyone. It is written in a style that you can't and don't want to stop reading. It completely caputers your attention. It is straight forward, with no unexplained twists and confusing minor plots. It is the BEST book I've ever read

one of Gerritsen's best,
I've only read this book recently despite having been published many years ago. I must say that, along with The Surgeon, this is one of my favorite books by this author. Lesen Sie weiter...

a medical suspense quickie
Harvest is an enjoyable and easy read. The storyline is somewhat predictable especially since the book jacket gives away a lot of it. Lesen Sie weiter...

A "COMA" Repeat
This was the first book I have read by Tess Gerritsen. 30 pages into the book I knew basically where it was going as this is a conceptual repeat of "Coma" by Robin Cook. Lesen Sie weiter...

Totally scary!
Most books don't scare me. This one did. And the premise is even scarier. If these kinds of harvests are occurring in the world, got help us!

Excellent Book! Couldn't Put it Down . . .
Prior to reading Harvest, I read and enjoyed Bloodstream and Life Support. This book is even better than those two! Lesen Sie weiter...
