PRAISE FOR TICKER:

“A riveting medical thriller…Told in an appropriately over-the-top style, this is a quintessentially Texas story: sprawling, unpredictable, and teeming with risk and opportunity.”  -Publishers Weekly
 
“It doesn’t take an acute interest in the human heart to be hooked after only a few pages of Ticker.” -Vanity Fair
 
“A developing story about. . . innovation, daring, perceived double-crosses, competition and conflict. . . Ticker beats at an accelerated rate.” -The Houston Chronicle
 
Ticker: The Quest to Create an Artificial Heart tells a story as big as Texas. . .” 
-The Wall Street Journal
