Thriller Utopia is an entire book that takes place during a thrilling nine hours in the latest and most technical theme park that is located outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. An insider has a thirst for money and power only to turn for help from a killer and his gang. It is a good story. Four stars were given in this review. Interesting concept, & ended up being an exciting book. While I was able to predict some of the mystery, there was plenty that I couldn't figure out up until it was revealed. I loved the integration of technology into the story, though I'm not sure how accessible it'd be to someone without some background in CS. This is the most enjoyable thriller I've read in a while. With great writing, engaging characters, and a good, twisting story, it had everything I could have hoped for in a thriller. There was also a nice element of tech/science fiction that added the perfect amount of atmosphere without taking things over the top or to where I felt like I was reading science fiction rather than suspense, or where I felt lost in the details. Instead, it felt like it was used masterfully to up the ante and atmosphere, making the most of the setting of a high-tech amusement park. Absolutely recommended for folks who enjoy fast-moving suspense with just a bit of tech. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML:It's like nothing anyone has ever seen before. Utopia is the brand-new frontier of theme parks, a fantastic collection of Worlds each so authentic it takes the average visitor's breath away. Teeming with cutting-edge holographic and robotic technology, it has captured the nation's imagination. But it has also attracted a group of ruthless criminals. After infiltrating the park and its computer systems, their leader--calling himself John Doe--sets the parameters: If their shocking demands are met, none of the visitors to the park that day will be harmed; if not, then all hell will rain down. Dr. Andrew Warne, the brilliant engineer who designed much of the park's robotics, suddenly finds himself in a role he never imagined--trying to save the lives of thousands of innocent people . . . one of whom just happens to be his daughter.
