Publisher Description

“A beautifully crafted scare-fest . . . heaven for techno-thriller fans.”—People (Page-turner of the Week)

It’s like nothing anyone has ever seen before. Utopia is the brand-new frontier of theme parks, a fantastic collection of Worlds each so authentic it takes the average visitor’s breath away. Teeming with cutting-edge holographic and robotic technology, it has captured the nation’s imagination. But it has also attracted a group of ruthless criminals. After infiltrating the park and its computer systems, their leader—calling himself John Doe—sets the parameters: If their shocking demands are met, none of the visitors to the park that day will be harmed; if not, then all hell will rain down. Dr. Andrew Warne, the brilliant engineer who designed much of the park’s robotics, suddenly finds himself in a role he never imagined—trying to save the lives of thousands of innocent people . . . one of whom just happens to be his daughter.

Terminal Velocity

I think this book was much better than a 4 star rating. It’s very fast paced and the concept is so fun. I highly recommend.

Woodburger ,

Maybe it’s me

I just couldn’t care about the characters.

Wordy thriller

Fast paced but tended to skim. Guessed the perp early on. Liked Warne. Really liked Poole.
