Action Packed Thriller. Review on Sphinx - Robin Cook

<pre>Robin cooks action packed thriller, which will make you thrilled with adventure and secretive plot. This was his first novel I have ever read which is non-medical based. I thought being different from the previous he might not be able to retain the thrill. BUT he was able to not only thrill but also chill out of adventure. Robin Cook in this novel have proved his ability even for a subject which is out of sync for him.
