5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping hi-tech thriller, 18 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is the first book I've read by this author and I now intend to read his other works. To confirm what others have said - this is a solid, easy to read unputdownable thriller. The characters are pretty simple to understand (but why should that be a bad thing) and the storyline is a little far-fetched (but that's part of the attraction).

The story centres on a new computing technology based on light and involves several interwined characters searching for the 'truth' as to what happens when we die. Treachery, corruption and double-crosses are plentiful and as long as you're not expecting some over-complicated and/or well grounded scientific or social commentary, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, 25 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Lucifer (Paperback)
The main character certainly seems to be relative of Dirk Pitt, which means entertaining yet improbable. However, the subject matter is very interesting indeed. I found myself reading each page with facination. Hard to take seriously (especially the climax at the end) but I enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable and fast moving technothriller, 29 Sep 2001
By A Customer
The plot is thus: good scientists discover the location of the soul and evil scientists/religous fanatics abuse and manipulate the power with near-apocalyptic consequences.

This is yet another rip-roaring thriller from Britain's best technothriller writer of this time, Michael Cordy.

I've read some poor reviews of this novel, and they are wrong. The book doesn't set out be a literary masterpiece, so why do people think that it did? The characters are cliched, this is true, but so what? You like them and invest in them and that's all you need to do. This book is not for cynical literary types who care more about a novel's place in the socio-political framework, it's more a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping powerhouse of a good old-fashioned big boys adventure wrapped up in an intriguing scientific-religious debate. Awesome stuff.

I found it a thoroughtly enjoyable holiday read - more like Cussler than Crichton. Our hero of the tale, Dr Miles Fleming is certainly a Dirk Pitt type.
