Customer Reviews

Outstanding Cyber Thriller

This is one of the best cyber thrillers I've read. In fact, it may be the best cyber thriller I've read other than The Terminal Experiment by Robert J. Sawyer. It begins when Marianne Hedison notices that people on an online fantasy gaming service start to die in odd ways. Thinking it too unusual be coincidence, she ends up teaming up with Detective Nolan Grobowski, a nose to the grindstone old school investigator. This is a very fast paced and very well done mystery novel and I would highly recommend it.

A very thrilling book.

I really loved reading Terminal Games. It was a suggestion of a friend and I could not stop reading it. It is absolutly thrilling although I haven't had any cyberexperiences at that time. It is one of my favorite books and I can just suggest to read it.

TRY TO IMAGINE

if you spend more than 4 hours a day surfing the chatrooms you know this book is not fiction but will become real in future years...

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

Terminal Games begins a bit slow, progressing in pace as the story progresses. I, personally, am not an avid reader. I found it difficult to put the book down, wanting to know what happens next. I also found myself speculating the end, as well as the possible perpetraitor. I began to suspect everyone's involvement. Overall, I think this book was good, there were areas that obviously were more fantastic than real, but the author kindly explains this in his Acknowledgements. Good job, "Mr. Perriman." Augie is Augie!
