“Once in a while, a thriller comes along that is truly inspired in conception and perfect in execution. Just such a book is Deep as the Marrow, by F. Paul Wilson. The story unfolds with speed and suspense, spurred on by the interactions of the memorable and often likeable characters.” (The Associated Press)
The President of the United States has decided to end the war on drugs.
The left is calling it a right-wing, genocidal plot; the right is calling it a left-wing ploy to destroy the fabric of American society; the drug lords see their empires collapsing; members of his own government fear their budgets being slashed.
Some of them want the President dead.
Caught in the middle is Dr. John Van Duyn. Someone has kidnapped his daughter. If he wants to see her alive again, he must poison one of his patients the President of the United States.
“Snatches you up, hurls you along at a blistering pace, makes you care about its kinky people—and does it all while staking a position in one of the most embattled issues of our time. You’ll love it; but better still, you ought to love it.” (Dean Ing, New York Times bestselling author)
Deep as the Marrow eBook F Paul Wilson
I have read so much of Wilson's work--Repairman Jack, Adversary Cycle, and the like--but I really like medical thrillers, in this case also a political thriller. As an physician, his medical stories always ring true. The Deep As Marrow story is current, and I even notice that there is a new TV series, that runs a parallel line coming this fall (2013) in which a physician is coerced into assassinating a President. However, two things bring down my rating slightly. The first is that in an effort to make a story current and to show that the author is technologically "with it", too many references to technology at the time Wilson wrote this (published 1997) actually date the book, especially when it comes to computers, internet, and cell phones. This stuff changes so quickly. For example, the story was almost over when cell phone GPS was mentioned as something new and unique, when it is now utterly commonplace. The second problem is proofreading. When older material is scanned (I'm assuming this, fwiw) for an e-book (which is what I bought), the typos abound, and this is the case with some of the older Wilson (and other authors') e-books. Someone needs to read the book before it is made available to the public. All-in-all the story is well worth the read, and Deep As the Marrow is definitely a page-turner.Product details

Deep as the Marrow eBook F Paul Wilson Reviews
I didn't like the cover and the beginning was slow reading - but Wilson was just setting the scene. I kept reading and loved the book (just not the cover). Great suspense. Lots of twists and surprises.
F. Paul Wilson created a book with heart stopping twists and turns. Just when things got bad, they suddenly got worse. I would recommend this book to anyone who who wants to read a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
When the POTUS decides to push an agenda of legalizing drugs, the cartels decide to fight for their lives. The President needs to die, but it can't be an assassination.
Thank goodness his personal physician has a reason to do the deed.
Deep as the Marrow is different from other books I've read by Wilson. There is no hint of the supernatural in any way, it is a straight thriller. It is also a very well written one. Wilson effectively moves from POV to POV, each time allowing a bit more of the story to be revealed and developed.
I thought the way that the situations with the lowest rung of criminals involved were described were fascinating. It was presented as normal activity for those characters - that was the way their life was lived at the moment, even if they were planning to change. It was all very matter-of-fact.
The character of Poppy turned out to be one of my favorites. She started out very one dimensional, but developed well and incorporated the reveals about her past into current behavior seamlessly.
I also enjoyed the inclusion of the Jersey Pines into the story. It was nearly Deliverance in New Jersey, and a reminder that the entire state isn't just a big turnpike littered with urban foxholes and burned out factories. I really enjoyed that twist to the story.
I have read Mr. Wilson's books for years. To me, this was not one of his better efforts. The premise of the book was, in a word, silly. Made it hard for me to buy into the rest of it. The "hard to kill villain" lacked credulity. His name is Snake. Enough said.
Good action read, even though there isn't much mystery. Ending could have had an epilogue about the President's actions or change of opinion. Reader is left to decide if he is justified in the actions he plans. In either case, Author does make us wonder if there is a better solution to the way we deal with drugs. He was successful in making one think about a serious problem.
This author never disappoints. A thriller with heart--and, of course, a message. Whether or not you agree with the author's position on the precipitating issue, you'll enjoy this book. Old school. Yet ahead of its time. And totally riveting.
I loved it. A series of events that will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning pages. John's daughter has been kidnapped. If he commits the worst crime in the Nation she will be returned. His daughter, Katie, has seizers and needs daily meds. This is the first crack in the chain.
I kid you not, this is one big FUBAR of a crime. Sometimes you want to kill someone and others you are cheering for the kidnapper.
A really good novel and one that will haunt you for weeks. After you read this ask yourself, "Could this really happen?"
