Philip Hawley, Jr.'s STIGMA
Philip Hawley's Stigma is the best thriller debut I've read in a long time. Plenty of action, good characters, interesting plot... It's got everything you'd want in a book of this type.
I especially recommend it for fans of Michael Crichton and James Rollins. It's just been released as a paperback original, so it's only 8 bucks. (I know how cheap we all are on here.)
If anyone else has read it, I'd love to hear what you think.

I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. Looks like a great read, but I probably won't get to it for a few weeks.
Anyone heard of the limited edition copy that came out late last year?

Are you sure you're not thinking of a different book?

I asked the publicist about that Avon special printing, and she said she thinks it's just referring to the galley (aka ARC). Although it's strange to note that on the copyright page, she didn't know what else it would be. There haven't been any other trade editions.

Not often enough. 
My reviews are frequently blurbed, but they usually don't include my name. In this case, I gave a pre-publication blurb, which I've only done a few times.
