Publisher's summary

Nick Hall returns in a riveting standalone thriller, set in a stunning future that is rapidly approaching. From the New York Times best-selling author whose books have been downloaded over a million times.

Nick Hall has revolutionary electronics implanted in his brain that allow him to read minds - including thoughts, memories, and even intent. He can know the passwords, future strategies, and innermost secrets of anyone he chooses, making him the most formidable man alive. But his status as the only mind reader in the world is about to change...

Soon, Hall is fighting for his life as he races to stop an unimaginably despicable terror plot. But his problems are only beginning. Because when a member of his inner circle betrays him, and the secret to mind reading leaks out, he is forced to wage war against a merciless mind reader of nearly unequaled brilliance. One who will stop at nothing to kill Hall, his colleagues, and the woman he loves. And one who is intent on ushering in a dramatic transformation of the human species - even at the cost of billions of lives.

Based on actual research on computer-assisted mind reading, Mind War is a roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.

Richard’s Has a Hit

I have followed Nick Hall since Mind’s Eye. What a great character along with Meghan and the rest. Please keep it going. I was along for a very satisfying ride.

Bittersweet

High drama and very evil bad guys served with a bit too much syrup about how lovable all the good guys are. Raises some interesting questions about whether being able to read minds would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Interesting

Interesting examination of the interface between humans and technology and some of the potential consequences with good guys and bad guys, terrorists and patriots.

The author's notes at the end of the book are even more compelling than the story. I especially appreciate his inclusion of Malala.

Looking forward to the next book in this series. I have them all so far.

Hokey narrator style

This story was definitely thought-provoking and interesting, but the narrator's hokey delivery style ruined it for me. Won't listen to another with that narrator.

Series continues with great writting and action

This series is best taken in order. Some of the plot is more deus ex machina situations, but still wortht the time.

Third Entry Holds True to Quality and Adventure

Nick Call and the Crew of TMT are back at saving the world again and doing a swell job of it! Richards opens story options for the future by introducing 2 new mind readers: one bad; and one neutral. Look out upcoming books in the series, this is getting interesting!

I did enjoy this book, but not as much as the first two simply because so much of it took place outside our core characters either using old bad guys or creating the new ones. Still, I understand the need for this as a method of paving the way for upcoming sequels.

Get the Audio version if you can! It's fun.

Incredible!

You can read this book as a stand alone, but believe me, you want to read Mind's Eye and Brain Web first. This is Nick Hall's third, may it not be his last, trial by fire. That being ESP. He, his girlfriend, and his team fight for our country and each other in amazing ways. But this book should also make you sit back and think about our future.

Fascinating story well-told

Continuing the story of a world where certain people can read the thoughts of others, using their talents for good or for evil. Keeps your interest.
