Robin Cook was born May 4, 1940 in Brooklyn, NY. His undergraduate work at Wesleyan in chemistry earned him honors (summa cum laude). He then attended medical school at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, while spending his summers at Jacques Cousteau Institute in Monaco.

After graduating, he entered the Navy, spending one tour on the submarine USS Kamehameha, followed by a tour at the Deep Submarine Systems Project (Sea Lab). Following his discharge, he took an opthalmology residency at Harvard.

After completing his residency, he attended Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, simultaneously with opening his private practice, (opthalmology), in Marblehead, MA, and teaching at the Harvard Medical School, while seeing patients at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.

His success as an author has allowed him a leave of absence, and he now lives in Florida, celebrating the birth of his son, Cameron Cook
