I heard rumors that this was going to be the last book in the series of the Body of Evidence thrillers but i sure hope its not as yet again Christopher Golden out does himself with another brilliant book. This is the eighth book in the series but there is no need to read the other books first as it so well written that it explains pervious novels as the story progesses, however, once you have read this book you will almost certainly want to read the others as these books contain everything from suspence and horror to love and romance. Once again Jenna Blake figures out the puzzles just in time to save the day yet the book is written in such a way to make you doubt everything that has been written. I highly recommend the reading of this book and its predessors.

A good book but.....I have a few qualms
7 Jan 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really hope this wasn't the last one, though I'm sure it is, and I'm sad to see the series go. In some ways, I suppose it was a good way to end off the series, but I really think that Golden could have ended the series better, it leaves you hanging, really, and why do that when the series is OVER??? It nearly drove me insane. The book is one of those FBI books, which I normally do not care much for, but of course, Christopher Golden wrote it and so of course it was good. Brain Trust is slower to start, but it is enticing and an extremely good read. I do have a few qualms with the plot line, or so "the plague", seemed almost too far-fetched- no, not far fetched, it was weaker than other Golden books. Even with that, Brain Trust is a good book and you should all read it!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read this novel cover to cover in the middle of a department store. While people shopped for shoes and such all around me, I was engrossed in the sun, the fun, the action, the FBI, the final shootout and the copout. The setting of Hawai'i gave me flashbacks to One West Waikiki. I liked letting Jenna relax, freeing her and Yoshiko from the typical college setting.
Where some books have tried to make Intimidating FBI Men and failed, Golden has succeeded. The villains of the piece were creepy without having to be supernatural, superstrong, anything but humans to do it. Instead, it showed that their callous, detached, cold nature due to being in the "shadow" industry removed their humanity to an extent. The ending, without spoiling it, was very Law & Order.
The quality of BoE is above and beyond most suspense novels - and it continues throughout the series, versus other series which lose the moomentum after a few books, or series in which the books become carbon copies.
Golden and Hautala did not plan on this being the final BoE novel; the series contract simply hasn't been renewed yet. If you love these books as much as I do, write a letter to Pocket Books!
