Product Description

Synopsis
'It was some moments before Charlie turned his gaze back to Control. When he did, there were tears in his eyes. "What have you done?"' "Something that evolution wouldn't have accomplished in a million years, left to itself," Control replied calmly. "You're custom-built, Charlie, a hero for our time..."' Charlie Monk is the ultimate superhero. He has no conscience. He has no fear. But he also has no memory. Dr Susan Flemyng has found a way to give memory back. In a world where even virtual reality is controlled, that is the most dangerous knowledge of all. Can she trust those she works for, or should she take the greatest risk and trust Charlie?

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling exploration of identity in thriller form, 31 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Ambrose has cornered the market in combining classical three act thrillers with mind-bending speculations on intelligent scientific possibilities. He is now unique in a genre entirely his own. (see THE MAN WHO TURNED INTO HIMSELF and SUPERSTITION.) THE DISCRETE CHARM OF CHARLIE MONK grips from its opening chapter through unguessable twists to a satisfyingly rich climax. Ranging through speculations upon virtual reality and philosophical issues of personal identity, the novel is also simply a terrific thriller. Hitchcock meets Hawking. James Bond meets Bunuel. I enjoyed it immensely.
