Chrysalis: A Thriller | Lincoln Child

Book 6 in the Jeremy Logan series. I really like Lincoln Child's writing style. This book was an amazing look at the potential of virtual reality, with an interesting mystery at its core. I liked the descriptions of the Chrysalis compound he was called to. Having a self-contained campus is very interesting to me and it actually sounded like a great place to live and work. The mystery of who is killing the top executives and how is fascinating.

🎧 I loved the science! Great fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Twainy 😆 I was just looking to see how far behind I am with reviews and saw this. OMG I think this is my shortest review EVER. It‘s not a bad book! I loved it! The author is half of the Agent Pendergast writing team so I‘ve read all his books. ♥️ This is book 6 in the Dr Jeremy Logan series, a fun science-y techno thriller. 1y

The great thing about Child is that the science, even at its most fantastic and weird, drags us from skepticism and doubt to acceptance and therein lies the magic. Chrysalis is a company that is about to rollout new optical technology that interfaces directly with the human cortex, and will revolutionize online commerce. Then they receive a threat that 1,000 early adopters will die! Our hero: Jeremy Logan, an enigmalogist. The ending is pure fun!

I bought this with low expectations, thinking I'd probably throw it against the virtual wall. But it's turning out to be a great read. The topic isn't the wonders of making Ready Player One come to life—or the evident dangers. Instead—so far—it covers the nitty gritty of making a large, flexible and lifelike shared world. I'm a programmer, but gaming and simulations aren't something I know much about, so this is all new to me, and all fascinating.

I like this book better than Arena. She's improved with character development although it's still far behind where I feel it should be.
I was disappointed to find she had no plans to write the concluding book in the trilogy. Had I known that I might not have chosen to read it, especially with the cliffhanger Gauntlet ended on.

My first DNF of the year. Also, the second Jaron Lanier book I have trudged halfway through only to abandon it. It‘s so-so, and probably a must read if you are seriously interested in Virtual Reality (he‘s the originator of the tech) or if you are a fan of Jaron Lanier as a speaker/thinker/musician/philosopher. I want to like him and his books, but his mind is just too muddled, and I can‘t get behind his “hippie vibe” or his abandonment issues.

Informative Read. Usually not my cup of tea - but I do believe if you are interested in Virtual Reality - then this is the book for you.
