Mind War

By: Douglas E. Richards

Narrated by: Adam Verner

Nick Hall returns in a riveting standalone thriller, set in a stunning future that is rapidly approaching. From the New York Times best-selling author whose books have been downloaded over a million times.

Nick Hall has revolutionary electronics implanted in his brain that allow him to read minds - including thoughts, memories, and even intent. He can know the passwords, future strategies, and innermost secrets of anyone he chooses, making him the most formidable man alive. But his status as the only mind reader in the world is about to change...

Soon, Hall is fighting for his life as he races to stop an unimaginably despicable terror plot. But his problems are only beginning. Because when a member of his inner circle betrays him, and the secret to mind reading leaks out, he is forced to wage war against a merciless mind reader of nearly unequaled brilliance. One who will stop at nothing to kill Hall, his colleagues, and the woman he loves. And one who is intent on ushering in a dramatic transformation of the human species - even at the cost of billions of lives.

Based on actual research on computer-assisted mind reading, Mind War is a roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.

Bittersweet

High drama and very evil bad guys served with a bit too much syrup about how lovable all the good guys are. Raises some interesting questions about whether being able to read minds would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Richard’s Has a Hit

I have followed Nick Hall since Mind’s Eye. What a great character along with Meghan and the rest. Please keep it going. I was along for a very satisfying ride.

Interesting

Interesting examination of the interface between humans and technology and some of the potential consequences with good guys and bad guys, terrorists and patriots.

The author's notes at the end of the book are even more compelling than the story. I especially appreciate his inclusion of Malala.

Looking forward to the next book in this series. I have them all so far.

Hokey narrator style

This story was definitely thought-provoking and interesting, but the narrator's hokey delivery style ruined it for me. Won't listen to another with that narrator.

Series continues with great writting and action

This series is best taken in order. Some of the plot is more deus ex machina situations, but still wortht the time.
