"This guy can flat out write. He has a great grasp of the many ways language can be used in telling a story, paired with the skill to do it, which is the thing that makes him stand out…  Add in a good feel for the basics of pacing the story and sentence structures, a superb eye for the role of detail, and the priceless ability to draw a reader in until they forget that they're actually reading the story they’re in the middle of. "

"Benedict has done an outstanding job at creating scenes, as well as characters, using every detail no matter how miniscule to evoke clear images and emotional response from readers, thus allowing us to really care about what happens to these characters."

"Filled with accelerating suspense, author Benedict builds the plot that moves Adrenaline forward with methodical and deliberate subplots and characters, each of which succeed to broaden the mystery and draw the reader deep into the workings of the operating rooms and administrative offices of Mercy Hospital. Characters are pleasantly humanized, his plotting is meticulous, offering a thrilling journey.
            Adrenaline offers a new take on the term ‘Medical Thriller’ that offers a breath of fresh air to the meaning of the term."

“Properly entitled, Adrenaline is a thrill ride from the opening chapter.  Dr. John Benedict has written a novel encompassing the intrigue of Michael Crichton's E.R. combined with the thrill of Crime Scene Investigations. This is a top-notch medical thriller and I hope it is the first of many from Benedict. He could easily become the next Dean Koontz with a medical degree.”
