5.0 out of 5 stars A excellent cross between business text and fiction, 22 Mar 1999

By A Customer

I read this book a couple of years ago and enjoyed it very much. Over time I have forgetten about it. But lately I've been doing research into new business creation and remembered this well written book. Many of the dry lessons of academic research are presented in a case study that reads like fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, vivid insights into biotech hustle, 6 Jan 1999

By A Customer

A well-told, vivid story about real life drug development, executed with a sharp observer's eye and an even hand. Hardly a gushing account of medical miracles in the making, but by no means industry bashing either. Rather, an inside look at real people in a fascinating world. This book never quite got the critical acclaim that it deserved.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for the aspiring scientist/academician, 18 Nov 1998

By A Customer

This book captures the complex relationship between academia and industry. It manages to give a realistic account of what it takes to "make it" both in academia and in industry. Although the descriptions of the scientists in the book tend to be overstated in order to sell novels, they do reflect a kernel of truth (I have met Stuart Schreiber and will work in his labs for my doctorate). This book also manages to capture the excitement of scientific discovery and how hard people in the lab must work to do cutting-edge scientist. The science has always and will always exist--it's a race against yourself to get the essentials truths of Nature.
