			        		&#x201C;[I]mmediately intriguing&#x2026;.well-written&#x2026;. The complex, nuanced story will appeal to those interested in deciphering the events and attaching their own meaning rather than being provided straightforward answers. The events are a metaphor that can be interpreted in many ways, about containing information, and about the consequences of stifling and suppressing new ideas.&#x201D;&#x2014;Foreword Reviews

    Literary, Kick-Ass Thriller
  

*by A***E on December 27, 2018*









  
  
    A smart, interesting, well-written thriller.I have no idea why David Bajo isn't more popular.  Somehow, a while back, I stumbled across Panopticon.  Then read his other books as I could find them.  This - the last of his I have found - is probably his best.  Like Panopticon, it's literary very-slightly-speculative fiction.  But perhaps a little better paced and more focused.It's a great ride.  One of those books where, near the end, I'm checking to see just how many chapters are left, wondering how much more can happen, what could change - go wrong? - before the end. Grinning from ear to ear as the heroine kicks serious ass.Reading the other comments here, I'm surprised by the confusion.  This is "real" writing.  It's not YA or a mass-market thriller.  It expects a certain level of effort from the reader.  You need to pay attention. Understand that different characters have different viewpoints and listen to what they say.  But that's all.  It's not rocket science.If anyone else loved this and is wondering what else to read, here's my potted summary of his other works: Panopticon is the most similar to this (internet / surveillance rather than medicine); Ensenada Public Library is slower paced, more reflective; 351 Books is more ambitious, more complex, open-ended.Incidentally, this book contains no sex (something you can't say about the earlier books).

    Stardust?
  

*by M***S on September 13, 2014*









  
  
    It's very difficult to describe "Mercy 6" by David Bajo; is it speculative fiction, sci-fi, a medical thriller? All of these? Yes, I think all of these.ER doctor, Anna Mendenhall, is on duty when four people drop dead in her hospital. Her initial concern is a virus and the hospital is quarantined. But she soon surmises that what befell these patients, and soon two others, was not a virus but something microscopic and ballistic that struck them down.I can't claim to understand everything about Dr. Mendenhall's hypothesis, but it doesn't really matter. The novel swept me away. It's a suspenseful "escape thriller" (Anna must leave to get help) and a wonderful page-turner. I enjoyed it very much and I think it would make a great film, as well.

    No mercy
  

*by P***J on October 15, 2015*









  
  
    I could not finish this book. It was such a chore TO READ! Did not like the authors literary style AT ALL. His prose jumped all over in a very disjointed way. It suggested an abstract and other-worldly atmosphere. Some may like it, but I did not. If his goal was to create cold, isolated characters that were hard to relate to, he succeeded. I found it off-putting to say the least.
