Reviews
"New author Paul McKellips now joins the genre of such bestselling
authors as Robin Cook with his new Medical Thriller 'Uncaged: A
Thriller'."<br /><br />
"'Uncaged' is a mile a minute, breathtaking thriller. Without
trying to unduly vaunt this terrific book, I could not put it down.
The characters are developed sensibly without the tired cliches of
which I have come to expect in so much modern fiction. Real issues
are confronted in this amazing work; such as the necessity of
animal research and reality of biological terrorism."
