Synopsis
This addition to the Alan Gregory series is a gripping thriller that puts a terrifying twist on the euthanasia debate .The brain-death of his friend Antonio as the result of a deep-sea diving accident and the slow degeneration of his older brother Conrad to Lou Gehrig's disease, coupled with the nameless protagonist's own skiing accident, impels the man to contact the Death Angels. This discreet company caters to those who fear incapacitating physical and mental injury, and the inability to express one's wishes to die as a result of that injury. The Death Angels keep a close eye on the client's health, and, when it fails to an agreed-upon extent, their operatives will kill the client. The kicker is that the contract with the Death Angels cannot be broken, a condition which the protagonist quickly comes to regret....

Kill Me, by Stephen White
Created: 07/03/06
) Again, Stephen White has written a timely and very intense book, based on the 'what if' question. Haven't we all heard people say, "if I am terminally ill, or if I become a para/quadrapalegic, I wish someone would kill me?" ...What if you went ahead and hired someone to carry out your instructions? Then, what if you changed your mind?. . . Ahhh.. now there lies the core of the story.. 'What if???????? '
Well, welcome to Kill Me. This is a story I could not down until I finished reading it. Stephen White has a way of writing that brings his characters to life, and an intensity that makes these people stay with you... haunting!

) This book was not at all what I expected having read all of the Alan Gregory books preceeding this one, but it was very good. I had a hard time putting it down and stayed totally wrapped up in the twists and turns. The plot was a little far fetched, but still a very good read.

) This was a real page turner. Lots of twists and turns and very good ending. Unlike any of his other Alan Gregory books he has written. I feel this was the best book he has written to date. Highly recommended, in fact this is going to be Christmas presents for several family members.
Excellent Book

I wasn't going to read this book but I'm sure glad I did. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through.

I have read all of his books, and I found this one to be one of his best. It is told through the eyes of the client, which is a total reversal. I finished this book in two days. It made you think! I highly recommend this book to any and all readers.
