Mind Games [Paperback]

Alan Brudner (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Cliff and his wife made a bargain: ultimate computer firm Cybronics provides a college education for son Sky, and Sky will work there for two years. Now, near the end of his contract, Sky tests a dangerous software program that transmits subliminal user messages. Alerted to the megalomaniacal tendencies of Cybronics's owner, the mysterious murder of the man's business partner, and the near death of another programmer, Cliff tries (with the aid of a digitized version of his dead wife) to save his son, who suddenly vanishes while at work. Interesting premise and an unlikely sleuth; for larger collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alan Brudner is the Raymond Chandler of the New Millenium!, August 24, 2001

This review is from: Mind Games (Paperback)

Mind Games takes us on a warp-speed race against time. In this dazzling debut novel, virtual reality takes on a life of its own, artificial intelligence becomes a force for salvation, and enduring love overcomes corporate intrigue. Yet behind the fast-paced cyberspace pyrotechnics is a brilliantly crafted mystery novel, filled with breath-taking surprises and fascinating characters that you will want to meet again. If ever there were a book that deserves to be on the big screen, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Clever Thriller, October 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mind Games (Paperback)

This is definately worth a read. Very clever thriller from an author that (at least until now) was an unknown. Reads quickly; so it is perfect for a plane flight or a rainy weekend. I got it as a gift and could not put it down. Who is Alan Brudner???

Terrific techno-thriller. The books zips along at a brisk and exciting pace without losing anything by way of intelligence. A rare find.
