Product Description

Product Description

A disturbing glimpse into a digital future, not far from now.

Mathew Grey is a brilliant scientist who accidentally unleashed a man-made plague that ravaged America’s heartland, and now threatens the rest of the planet. Riddled with guilt and running out of time, he decides to use a dangerous technology to enter a computer-generated reality called Cyberdrome, hoping to unravel a mystery that could be the key to Earth’s survival.

Alek Grey was an athlete whose career was cut short by a near-fatal accident. Now he is a software hacker with the unique ability to outsmart the best Artificial Intelligence programs of his day. When he is called in after one of his programs inadvertently attacks Cyberdrome, he is shocked to learn that both his father and ex-fiancée have become trapped inside the simulation, unable to be removed without risk of death.

Alek knows of only one way to rescue the people he loves, but will he risk all of humanity to save them?

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Scifi 5 Aug 2010
By P. J. Salisbury VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition
Real Scifi!

What a thrill ride! Just finished Cyberdrome. The sample convinced me to buy the full download right away. Top notch, highly original, this should be selling in bucket-fulls.

Cyberdrome is relentlessly fast-paced. It is very imaginative, with multiple environments and scenarios, and a multitude of potential bad guys. Separating out the heroes, anti-heroes and out-and-out bad guys from the rest, while keeping abreast of the twists and turns in this fascinating plot, is a job and a half! The film Tron comes to mind here, with humans trapped inside a giant computer but there the resemblance ends. Instead of low-res graphics, Cyberdrome is the equivalent of fully rendered 3D action, with protagonists pitted not against a guy on a cycle but against a megalomaniac computer program with versatile adversaries at its command.

Being ex-IT myself I liked all the computer references but understanding these was not essential to following the thrust and heady zest of the novel.

Reminds me also of Ghost in the Shell, where variously cyberised humans inhabit a hazardous future world somewhere between program data and reality. However, Cyberdrome has the benefit of humans fully integrated with the computer and non-stop, heart-pumping action along the way. If you like the film `Avatar', you will almost certainly like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, worth reading 9 May 2012
Format:Paperback
Great book and very gripping story. It's worth remembering that the original concept of the story for cyberdrome actually predates Tron, Avatar and the Matrix which are the three things it is most commonly compared to. With that in mind its certainly worth giving cyberdrome the credit for being an originator of the "world inside a computer" idea so well known these days. It can be a bit techie to read so confusing at times but a great story none the less!! If you're a fan of real sci fi (and yes, if you love tron, avatar, the matrix type things) its totally worth a read. Can't wait for the next one

3.0 out of 5 stars Good SF/Fantasy 18 Nov 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A good read, an original story with interesting characters. It reminds me of Bradbury and pulp SF writers, heavy on the detail but light on the science. I enjoyed this book.
