Fiction. Science Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. 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.

"Terrific . . . a sensational piece of popular entertainment . . . [Lincoln] Child has created a fictional wonderland that is both high-tech and nostalgic. . . . If you are looking for intelligent fun, it doesn't get much better than this."--The Washington Post Book World

Thriller
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
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. ( )
