Order of Robin Cook Books

Dr. Robin Cook is an American physician who transitioned to writing medical thrillers. His aim as a novelist is to both educate readers on significant (and often controversial) medical topics and entertain them. He identifies as a doctor who became a novelist, rather than a novelist with a medical background. Several of Cook's works have been adapted for film and television, including Coma, directed by Michael Crichton, who was also an author and physician. Cook wrote his first book, Year of the Intern, while serving in the Navy, which was published in 1972. Below is a chronological list of Robin Cook’s books by their original publication dates.
