Synopsis
Ali O'Day, a dedicated young neurosurgeon, might have a Nobel Prize in her future―if she can survive the next eleven hours.
Under the glare of live television cameras―and with her lover, Dr. Richard Helvelius, and her estranged husband, Kevin, both looking on―Ali is about to implant a revolutionary mini-computer into the brain of a blind boy. If it works, he will see again. But someone wants to stop her triumph. No sooner has she begun to operate than the hospital pagers crackle with the chilling announcement, "CODE WHITE." A bomb has been found in the medical center.
But this is no ordinary bomb―and no ordinary bomber. As minutes tick off toward the deadline, Ali suspects that a vast, inhuman intellect lies behind the plot―and that she herself may be the true ransom demand, in Code White by Scott Britz-Cunningham.

Reviews
Britz-Cunningham’s first novel posits a scary future in which medical and computer science have advanced to the next level—for good and a whole lot of ill. A blind boy has the opportunity for sight through the implantation of a device inside his brain. He agrees to have the procedure, to be performed by neurosurgeon Ali O’Day, filmed on live television. During the surgery, a Code White alert is announced over the loudspeaker, which signifies a bomb threat. Security soon stumbles upon the explosive, but there are more hidden throughout the building, seemingly operated by some form of nonhuman intelligence. Britz-Cunningham clearly knows his medical technology, but he has difficulty breaking it down for not-so-savvy readers. The characters are somewhat jumbled, and the most fascinating person happens to not be a person at all. The abrupt and somewhat forced ending leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Britz-Cunningham wants to be like Michael Crichton, but while he shows some promise, he’s not quite there. --Jeff Ayers
