About this listen

A blockbuster new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lincoln Child, centered on a dominant tech company—Chrysalis—whose groundbreaking virtual reality technology is redefining the way we live...and possibly introducing a catastrophic danger to the world.

Like millions of people around the world, Jeremy Logan (famed enigmalogist, or investigator of unexplained things) has grown to rely on his incredible new tech device. Made by Chrysalis, the global multibillion dollar tech company, the small optical device connects people in a stunning new way, tapping into virtual reality for the first time on a wide scale.

And yet, when Logan is summoned by Chrysalis to investigate a disturbing anomaly in the massive new product rollout, Logan is shocked to see the true scope of the massive company. He also quickly realizes that something in Chrysalis’s technology is very wrong, and could be potentially devastating. The question is what, and where, is the danger coming from? In Lincoln Child’s wildly inventive new novel, high tech comes to life alongside the myriad dangers it poses, making for one of Child’s most infectious, entertaining thrillers to date.

Critic reviews

“Fans of this series will enjoy the extended romp with Logan and his demands for revelation; newcomers can relax into Lincoln Child’s lively narrative and marvel at how a little stretch of current technology can create a scary world of possibilities.”—New York Journal of Books

“As Child masterfully ratchets up the tension, he makes even secondary figures feel real enough for readers to worry about their survival prospects. Michael Crichton fans will find a lot to like.”Publishers Weekly

“…It’s what happens along the way that makes the [book] so enjoyable: the false leads, blind alleys, and bad assumptions; the slow accumulation of facts that points to a solution that cannot possibly be true—except that it must be. An intriguing, suspenseful, and very satisfying thriller.”Booklist

Complicated Interesting Story

I found the virtual reality based technology interesting although the ending with software manipulation struck me as rather silly. Still it was well performed and written with some unexpected moves.

Lincoln Child's imagination

Just as I anticipated from one of my favorite authors. Highly technical, but yet "dumb-downed" somewhat so the less technology handicap can appreciate.

Lincoln Child at his BEST!

Linc never ceases to amaze me with his creativity and vast knowledge of the technology world.
Absolutely the best of the Jeremy Logan series.

Mediocre

This started out good. It caught and held my interest until about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way in. Then it became boring for me and I lost interest. I did finish it and I thought the end was weird too. I can't provide any more information without giving away some of the story and I won't do that. I hope you enjoy it more than I did. Oh, don't want to forget the narrator - he was excellent.

Fantasmagorical

Another fantastic storyline although a bit too close to home. Reminds me of of a few movies that I've seen and could relate this book to. Hope we don't need to wait too long for another Logan investigation. Narration was fantastic

Brilliant!

Lincoln Child is every bit as brilliant as Jeremy Logan to come up with this one. All the technical stuff! I have to say most of it was way over my head-I’m a grandma out here in the fields of IN-but a huge Lincoln Child fan. I don’t doubt something similar could some day become a reality. It’s a little scary though. Not sure If I’d ever want such a device. But it was a great, entertaining story. Mr Child’s imagination knows no bounds & boy howdy, I’m grateful!

Learned a lot

Thoroughly enjoyed. I’m not a Techie in any way, but the book was written in such a way that I rarely got lost in the terminology. It was actually quite easy to understand. Story was interesting and attention-holding from the beginning. A good solid read.
