A mind-bending tale where nothing - and no one - are quite what they seem.
Trial Run was a little bit of a different story than I am used to. For one thing, I'd never read a techno thriller before. Also there was no single protagonist, rather a cast of main characters, and there was no clear 'bad guy'. Instead these very different characters are connected by, sometimes tenuous, threads that are only revealed as the story progresses.
At the end I was still left questioning. My concrete mind wondered what force was controlling the place they ascended/transited to? And what was the source of the images of future events, received while making ascents? But just suspend belief for awhile and enjoy the wild and dangerous ride!
One of the things this book brought up, at least in my mind, is the ethics of science. How far should we go in the pursuit of knowledge? When are the consequences too great? And just how much does humankind really control? In these pages Thomas Locke presents a truly thought-provoking tale.
I've been a fan of Davis Bunn (Thomas Locke) since I was a young teen and I have avidly read any of his books that come my way. He has a way of telling a great story while stretching my mind. And his descriptions, especially in Trial Run, leave me totally immersed in the story, seeing what the characters see right alongside them.
On the whole this was one fascinating techno/psychological thriller, a little hard to understand at times (prions and quantum computing?), but so hard to put down. And the showdown at the end of the book was fast-paced, action-packed, and I think likely my favorite part. Fans of this genre and of Thomas Locke are in for a mind-bending treat!
