5.0 out of 5 stars An enchanting, enagaging mix of mystery, romance and sf, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

Carole Nelson Douglas mixes genres masterfully in Probe. There is romance, mystery and science fiction in this story of a beautiful young woman lost to herself. Jane (Jane Doe) is both riveting and enraging as a character. She is a savant, a human computer and a child. The end result, romance between herself and the doctor assigned to her case, is brought about slowly as he and Jane realize the truth about her past

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down, January 24, 2001

By	Kayleighbug "kayleighbug" (Massena, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Wonderful story. I picked this up last night and couldn't put it down... it was written in 1985 - before the breakup of the Soviet Union.. in some ways, this dates the story and the actions of the CIA and the Probe researchers. It is easy enough to overlook though and does not distract from the main focus of the story - the struggle to unlock the mystery of one women's mind. Well worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars 17 years after..., March 10, 2003

This review is from: Probe (Mass Market Paperback)

I actually read this book in the late 1980's and bought another copy to re-read in 2003! Definitely a "girlie" SF book. I also highly recommend Carole Nelson Douglas Sword and Circlet series (starting with the "real" first book Six of Swords).
