Product Description

What happens to us when we die? Oblivion.Or so believes Dr Miles Fleming, a brilliant, young neuroscientist who has developed a device capable of reading human brainwaves. But when his own brother contacts him after being certified dead for six whole minutes, Fleming wonders if he’s got it all wrong.His search for the truth uncovers a terrifying religious conspiracy to stage the most ambitious experiment the world has ever seen – to prove beyond doubt the existence of a heaven or a hell. As the world awaits the final judgement, Fleming must confront his own demons to save not only his own soul but that of all humanity.THE LUCIFER CODE pits the faith of religion against the certainty of science in a heartstopping thriller which explores our deepest fears.

I bought this book in desperation whilst facing a long train journey. With little else to choose from besides your usual train station fare of 'chick lit' and espionage thrillers I picked up The Lucifer Code expecting some kind of second rate Dan Brown rip-off.

The title doesn't do the book justice- this reminds me more of a Michael Crichton style tale of science versus morality. The basic premise is interesting and the plot develops with enough momentum to keep me going from Exeter to Edinburgh without a yawn. The characters lack depth and are stereotypical for this type of novel, but this is my only complaint about a otherwise well written thriller.

Let's say that some of the fundamental ideas in this book are interesting and could be thought-provoking. I've been reading it on the train for 10 days now and don't want to put it down but.....

.....yes some of the lead-ins to the "surprises" and "twists" are not subtle and not kept from the reader for long enough (perhaps, in my opinion).

.....I have not actually finished the book yet but I had an definite idea of what was going to happen.

.....there are still some surprises and twists that I could not see coming from a mile off..!

.....it's been an enjoyable and easy read - I do consider this good as distractions on the train are frequent.

I'd give it a 7/10 and have thought a few times that, with a good screenwriter, it could make a good movie. I do also hope that when this book is finished (probably on my journey tomorrow), the book I pick up is equally enjoyable. Heck, it's inspired me to write my first Amazon review so it has made a mark...!

Be warned.......... 2 April 2006

OK - let's get this out of the way up front. You need to be very careful with this book, it was previously released under the title 'Lucifer'. If you already have it DO NOT buy this, it is the same novel re-titled. Incidentally, the same goes for 'The Messiah Code' by Michael Cordy, originally released under the title 'Miracle Strain'. It is part of a disappointing trend where the publisher seems to feel that any books in this vein have to be repackaged to look like Da Vinci Code clones in order to sell.(I'll get off my soapbox now).

However, aside from the above, I feel this is not really MC's best work. That's not say it is a bad book, but I found it rather simplistic and predictable. The characters in particular seem very one-dimensional and I think MC over-reaches himself with the science fiction aspect of the plot.

In summary, if you like his other books you probably won't mind this one, but in my view The Miracle Strain(Messiah code) and Crime Zero in particular are much better.
