The Terminal Man

De: Michael Crichton

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a neurological thriller about the dangers of cutting-edge medical experimentation.

Harry Benson suffers from violent seizures. So violent that he often blacks out when they take hold. Shortly after severely beating two men during an episode, the police escort Benson to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment. There, Dr. Roger McPherson, head of the prestigious Neuropsychiatric Research Unit, is convinced he can cure Benson with an experimental procedure that would place electrodes deep in his brain's pleasure centers, effectively short-circuiting Harry's seizures with pulses of bliss. The surgery is successful, but while Benson is in recovery, he discovers how to trigger the pulses himself. To make matters worse his violent impulses have only grown, and he soon escapes the hospital with a deadly agenda....

fun romp in the past a crime thriller with lots of thrill and crime drama in the past

Very dated.

Just to busy with the medical stuff; the doctors & procedures. For me it was far too dated to take the leap & enjoy.

Wow!

Love this author and the narration was absolutely superb! Can't wait to start my next!

Neoluddite nonsense based on bad science

Narrator killed it, but the story was barely worth finishing. The science is laughably bad and as time continues to pass, it ages even more poorly.

Another M.C. classic.

Well paced, well narrated, well written. A thoroughly enjoyable listening experience, and a solid recommendation.
