Product Description

Review
Eddie, a small time New Yorker who earns his living pounding out copy for illustrated manuals finds his life changes dramatically when a drug dealer introduces him to an amazing new designer drug that enables his resources of intelligence and drive function with amazing efficiency. When his dealer is murdered he escapes with a large stash and starts to make the kind of money about which he has only dreamed. However, there is a downside of blinding headaches, irrational behaviour - and worse is to follow in this high-voltage debut thriller.

Product Description
Anything that promises to make us better, richer, cleverer is always seductive and powerful. But what happens when the transforming agent is produced in the laboratory of a pharmaceutical corporation? By chance, Eddie Spinola comes across 200 doses of the drug MDT-48 and turns his life upside-down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant high-concept thriller!, 13 Feb 2002
By A Customer
From its about-face opening this debut novel grabs and doesn't let go. The main character, Eddie, is an appealingly shabby Everyman which makes his descent all the more believable -- if someone gave you a bag of pills which could make you see patterns in the stock market or learn a foreign language in a day, wouldn't you take them? Alan Glynn traces Eddie's rise and fall with real story-telling skill, and although the climax is suggested there are still lots of twists and turns along the way. This is a great read and should be the start of a great writing career.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great story, 9 April 2002
By A Customer
I really enjoyed this book - like "12 Monkeys" it's a sci-fi meets crime thriller, with an original twist. Would make an excellent movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, 13 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I liked the story, and I especially liked the way it has been written.
Defects: few holes in the story, and some more thrill and creativity in the actions of the narrator would have made it a 5 stars.
