		Robert Finlayson Cook, almost always referred to by the nickname Robin, (born February 28, 1946) is a British Labour Party politician, who was Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2001.
		Unfortunately for Cook, his own personal morals were soon in the headlines: when his affair with his secretary was revealed by a newspaper, he told his wife Margaret Cook he was leaving her at Heathrow airport on the way to a holiday.
		Cook's resignation statement in the House of Commons, received with an unprecedented standing ovation by fellow MPs, was described by the BBC's Andrew Marr as "without doubt one of the most effective, brilliant, resignation speeches in modern British politics" and "by far a better speech than he has made at any time in government".

		Cook's piece displays no new insights and people in the field have written about the impact of genetic testing on the insurance industry a thousand times over the past 10 or 15 years.
		Somehow, Robin Cook set out to promote his book but succeeded in making the pernicious effects of adverse selection obivious to the non-expert, and has even made universal healthcare more acceptable to the general public.

	Shock by Robin Cook
		Robin Cook, master of bestselling medical thrillers, answers the "What's the worst thing that could happen?" question in this plot-twisting novel in which villains with no sense of ethics or social responsibility get their greedy hands on the newest cloning technology.

		Cook solves the problem of "hyperstimulation" by saying that the Wingate Clinic uses something more advanced, but in reality a woman would still have to undergo numerous physical and psychological exams before being accepted as a donor.

		The name of the novelist Robin Cook has long been a byword for impeccably detailed, plausible thrillers, and even if his work is not always as powerful as such books as Coma and Outbreak, he is always totally professional, guaranteeing the reader a well-turned piece of work.
		That's very much the case with Seizure, where Cook's skills in the plotting arena are triumphantly brought into play.
		Biotechnology is the theme here, and an implacable opponent of all research in the fields, ultra-conservative Southern senator Ashley Butler, enjoys chairing a committee to put the brakes on cloning technology.

		The novelist David Foster Wallace, bemused when the media began championing his immense novel Infinite Jest and making Wallace himself a literary star, called this the "excitement about the excitement." It was one of the principal marketing tools for anything in the Republic of Entertainment.
		But Rushdie, a serious novelist, was simply the most glaring example of a publishing industry in hostage to entertainment, an industry in which authors' own stories superseded their books.
		Or there was Michael Palmer, the doctor who, inspired by the example of medical suspense novelist Robin Cook, decided to try his hand at a medical thriller.

		It's a typical media darling pose: Rather than share the worries of most Britons that a tenfold increase in anti-terror arrests is actually necessary, Cook announces that the raids themselves, rather than the terror threat to Britain, are the real concern.

		Like a good detective novelist, he gives ''Cast of Shadows'' a sturdy sense of place, rooting the story in his own homely Chicago turf, complete with Gaps and Acuras and cul-de-sacs.

		The medical thriller has come a long way since Cook and Michael Crichton invented it: recent practitioners like Tess Gerritson have polished it into a powerful dramatic and social engine.
		Alas, Cook appears to have gotten off at the wrong station or missed the train entirely, judging by his latest effort, a crudely conceived, ineptly written and most damning of all totally unexciting story ripped from old headlines.
		I don't feel that I've read enough of Robin Cook's novels to be able to make that statement fairly.
