Product Description
"Echoes the psychological suspense of Hitchcock's 'Spellbound' updated to a computer game. If this isn't movie-bound, Hollywood needs a brain-transplant." (Kirkus Reviews)
Dr. Julia Gordon designs a virtual reality program for Alzheimer's research that "sees" memories. But she must experiment on a subject closer to home: Her estranged identical twin sister, Sam, lies inexplicably comatose. Using her VR program, Julie tries to find the cause, but Sam's memoryscape is devastated. Julie probes and persists, and the secret she pieces together puts her and her sister in deadly danger.
"This fast-paced, fascinating book is one of the better meldings of technology and suspense, twisting and turning up through the emotional conclusion. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"A fast-paced trip through the labyrinth of heart, mind, soul." (Nora Roberts)
"A wonderfully inventive, engrossing, thoroughly twisted piece of work. I enjoyed it immensely". (Peter Straub)
"Compelling...MIRAGE is a real page turner." (San Francisco Examiner)
"The virtual reality sequences in the novel provide stunningly surreal images." (Publishers Weekly)

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  A must for any sci-fi, mystery, or horror fan., By A Customer This review is from: Mirage (Hardcover) F. Paul Wilson and Matthew Costello take you on an unbelievable journey through the human psyche. When nuerophysiologist Julie Gordon learns that her estranged twin sister has fallen into a coma Julie travels albeit unwillingly to her side. Once Julie is there she realizes her chance to try an experimental virtual reality scanner she devoloped. Against the wishes of her partner in the development of the machine Julie travels on a risky journey through her sister's subconscious mind. What truths come to Julie through these episodes bring a frightening revelation to Julie and a truth about the lives of her entire family. Mystery, horror, and mix of sci-fi will keep you reading through the twists and turns of this well written, emotionally draining tale of family secrets. An excellent read. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  Weird!, By A Customer This review is from: Mirage (Mass Market Paperback) This book wasn't too bad, but it was strange. The descriptions of Sam's memoryscape were a little too wordy at times, but I did enjoy this book. I do recommend it but, if you want to read a real page-turner by F. Paul Wilson then get The Select. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: A Bit too long, By Mandy O'Neill (Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mirage (Mass Market Paperback) Excellent idea but stretched a little too far. The basic premise, simulation of a person's psyche on computer, is tantalising. I felt the characterisations were believable but the various twists and turns were too predictable and seemed to be deliberately laboured. I reckon the book is 2 chapters too long and would have benefited from a hard-nosed editor demanding more pace, less self-indulgent self-analysis. |
