We All Fall Down

Praise for We All Fall Down

“A tightly plotted thriller, energetic and completely believable. Kalla knows how to build a suspenseful story that doesn’t stretch the bounds of plausibility. He also knows how to build realistic characters and put natural-sounding dialogue into their mouths, something many better-known medical-thriller authors often struggle to do. . . . [a] top-drawer thriller.”
— BOOKLIST

“A fast paced thriller with an historical overlay and a dash of romantic tension.”
— VANCOUVER SUN

“A superbly written suspense novel, completely believable in its frightening premise and masterful in execution. Kalla inherits the mantle of Michael Crichton, devising a plot in which an ancient pestilence meets a scourge of human egotism and misplaced faith, resulting in the potential for a worldwide cataclysm. Much more than a medical thriller, We All Fall Down is both a vivid history lesson and a heart-pounding warning, resulting in a page-turning obsession.”
— STEVEN HARTOV, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of a Thief

“A great thriller hero never hesitates—despite, or perhaps because of, her checkered past and uncertain future. By that standard, Dr. Alana Vaughn is the woman readers will want on their side when stalked by the most terrible of all plagues in We All Fall Down.”
— JUSTIN SCOTT, author of The Shipkiller, Rampage, and the Isaac Bell adventure novels with Clive Cussler

Praise for Of Flesh and Blood

“This novel should appeal to any reader who enjoys a rich medical narrative that combines the past with the present and throws into the mix visionary doctors, supportive nurses, hospital politics, children with cancer, celebrity patients, a lethal infection, adultery, and unrequited love.”
— LIBRARY JOURNAL

“Daniel Kalla plunges us straight into the frenzied pace of the OR and a medical drama that spans a hundred years. He’s a strong storyteller who keeps his characters moving and struggling, and we’re right there, struggling with them, rooting for them.”
— VANCOUVER SUN

“Daniel Kalla deftly portrays the triumph and heartbreak of life-or-death matters.”
— SUSAN WIGGS, New York Times bestselling author

Praise for Cold Plague

“A terrific read.”
— THE GLOBE AND MAIL

 “A well-written novel . . . Kalla, an emergency-room physician, employs just enough medical realism to carry a wild tale through one cliff-hanger chapter after another.”

— OTTAWA CITIZEN

“Gripping.”
— VANCOUVER SUN

“His first novel, Pandemic, was as fine a medical thriller as I've ever read; his newest, Rage Therapy, is a taut psychological thriller that will pull you into a world of sexual deviancy, murder, and mind games. A very good read.”
— NELSON DEMILLE, New York Times #1 bestselling author

“Rage Therapy is a compelling story. It’s layered and nuanced. Kalla might well grow to be the James Patterson or John Grisham of the medical world.” 
— JANUARY MAGAZINE

Praise for Resistance

“Kalla builds suspense and keeps the medical action moving.”
— THE GLOBE AND MAIL

“[Kalla] continues his remarkable side career as the author of knowledgeable, but very scary medical thrillers.”

Praise for Pandemic

“Very much in the Michael Crichton school of cutting-edge scientifically rooted thrillers. Pandemic is an absorbing, compulsive thriller, the sort of book you could stay up too late reading. I’d advise against that, however. With all the bugs going around, you’re going to need your immune system functioning at full strength.”
— VANCOUVER SUN

— KEITH ABLOW, author of Psychopath

“Pandemic is fast, fierce, and frightening. Kalla delivers a shot of adrenaline in a medical thriller that really thrills.”
— DON WINSLOW, author of California Fire and The Life and Death of Bobby Z

“Pandemic is a totally compelling novel, one of those rare thrillers that lays out a scenario that is not only possible, but terrifyingly probable.”
— DOUGLAS PRESTON, author of Relic and The Codex

“At last! A new thriller writer worthy to join the Ludlum, DeMille, le Carré club. Not just a great read, a real treat.”
— BEVERLY SWERLING, author of City of Dreams: A Novel of Nieuw Amsterdam and Early Manhattan
