Publisher's summary

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

old ideas re done

Old ideas re done. not a thriller,. I usually love Childs book. just not this one.

Great thiller

I haven’t read a book like this in a long time. I was constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. The one thing is that the book constantly focuses on the journey. No focus on pronouns or politics like you get from
Disney. Just a great story. Highly recommended!

ANOTHER MASTERWORK

Lincoln Child once again hits the mark...intrigue, excitement, conspiracy and captivation. the presentation is educational, inspiring and just plain interesting.

started good but lost its strength

Narrator was great. the story started out really good, but faded.out. it was a relief to have it end.

Another Great Lincoln Child Story

Love this one just as much as his others. That’s all I have to say.

Interesting premise

Story was pretty good, but not as good as other Jeremy Logan adventures. The premise was interesting as was the twist, but still left me lacking overall.

Narration is well done

Another fantastic thriller

Mr Child has another winner in Chrysalis! There were twists and unexpected turns in the plot. You will not be disappointed in the story, it will keep you wondering!

I highly recommend this novel

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.

Wonderful as always Mr Child

I look forward to every book written by Lincoln Child. Amazing story feeling, depth of characters, and plot twist.
