Mind's Eye

By: Douglas E. Richards

Narrated by: Adam Verner

Length: 11 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster - bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head - he knows things are bad. But they're about to get far worse. Because he's being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who inserted the implants? And why? And why is someone so desperate to kill him?

As Hall races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights - or bring about its total collapse.

Extrapolated from actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind's Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.

Good Story,except for the blatant advertising & cheesy narrator

The story was ok. My main issue was with the gentleman reading the book. He sounded as though he was reading a soap opera or a harlequin romance novel. I probably would have rated the overall story higher if I didn't have to hear the product placement reference me and his cheesy narrative.

Very Entertaining If Not A Bit Alarming

I enjoyed this book. The subject matter had me on the fence at first, but as I quickly and easily became immersed in the story, I was entrenched and "couldn't put it down". Adam did an excellent job narrating and his different characters voices were well done. Made me feel like I was right there watching everything... with my minds eye! Ha! Gotcha!
Really, really good book that I will recommend to many. It flowed real smooth and was exciting at times and the mystery was done superbly. Looking forward to the next book.

Dangers of Technology and Idealism

This book was not bad. Some of the writing could have been better, but on the whole I enjoyed it.

The opening of the book had me intrigued. The mystery behind the protagonist and his powers had me hooked. If not, I would have given up during the middle.

The middle story opened up to some predictable tropes of this genre. The love stories (there are two, a major and a minor) that form here are useful but uninspired. And some other "twists" just fall flat. But the twist in the climax of this story I did not see coming, and that made me glad I finished this book.

The production of this book was good.

Minus a few pronunciations that were just plain wrong, I thought the performance was fantastic.

Great read/ listen

The best I’ve listened to for some time. Douglas E Richards mind must be mush by the time he’s finished writing these!

Minds Eye

I thought this was a very suspenseful book. Stayed interested the entire way through. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Great as usual

Doug continues to live up to my high expectations with his well crafted storytelling. Can't wait to read the next book.

A great read!! I can't wait to read more!!

Well written!! And, it absolutely keeps your attention throughout. A book for our times and more!

Great

I loved this audio book. But I'm sure a second book wouldn't work. I believe this is a one and only. Thanks. Plus the narrator did a great job.

Nice idea, excellent performance

Liked the first half a lot, although the main character kept going out of his way to be stupid and explain his powers to everyone he met. In the second half, the events and characters got even more stupid. It turned into a sappy romance. Characters fell in love immediately. The book said repeatedly, "There's something in the water" (i.e. love) Supposedly smart protagonists tell the enemies everything. All about their abilities and communication, etc. At the end, I felt all the heroes deserved to die from being so stupid.

Excellent, beginning to end.

Loved this book. Plenty of action and technological gizmos. Very entertaining. I have already purchased the second book in the series.
