Game Changer is more of the same, and that's a good thingDouglas Richards is obviously a genius. His stories are fascinating as well as compelling. He's kind of like the George Lucas of authors. We are absolutely blessed to live in a time that allows so many books to be enjoyed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this, and all of his books.
You’ll find a better synopsis elsewhere, but briefly: A secret service agent attempts to assassinate POTUS believing the president is a psychopath who murdered his wife. The agent has been ‘mind controlled’ with some form of false memories and has never married. Also, some bad guys are planning to destroy the United States by burning the country to cinders. I must assume these two disparate issues meld into a plot … somewhere.It is acceptable to expect the reader to stretch the imagination when
This book is extremely disturbing on a lot of levels. The idea that someone can get inside our heads, upsetting what is already a tenuous reality, is horrifying. Well-written with great characters and a great dose of humor.
There are spoilers in this review.I generally like this author but I don’t know if I was having an off day or it was just the subject matter, but I could not get into this book. I made myself continue reading….. and I kept falling asleep when I was reading at night. Now, in context, I do a lot of my reading at night and have stayed up all night, many nights, reading when a book captivates me. This, however, was not one of those books. I felt like the main characters where not fleshed out enough....
"What if it were possible to upload years of knowledge into your mind in hours? To become expert in multiple scientific fields, become an MD, or learn several languages — in a single day? The benefit to humanity would be immense. But so would the danger . . .Rachel Howard is a brilliant neuroscientist trying to make this capability a reality. But when she crosses paths with Kevin Quinn, a Secret Service agent desperate to kill the president, she finds herself at the epicenter of an insidious and...
It's not often I give up on a book less than a quarter of the way through, but I've had more than enough of this one. I can only assume the author's other books are a lot better than this one. Or perhaps people come for the torture porn, and stay for the rabid Islamophobia?
Scientific breakthrough told in simple languageThe book was very educative in recent discoveries pertaining to human brain modification using technology for the benefit of human race. I like the way technical scientific jargon was explained in a simplified and entertaining manner.However, the ending left me with a lot of questions unanswered such as what happens to the brain of the special agent. I am going straight to read more books by this author and will introduce my friends to them.
Must readThis author takes time do extensive research before writing. Their is a lot to read about this subject at the end of the book. Russian and Israel relationship with America. I will be thinking and talking about this book for a long time.
You can never go wrong with Douglas E. Richards' books if you enjoy hi-tech, just ahead of our time thrillers.

Amazon will not allow me to rate this book. The author lost four stars on that post.I enjoyed this book and think other readers will, too. If you have never thought about Matrix Learning, information delivered to the brain by artificial means, or thought remapping, it is time to give them some thought. I call this book science fiction and thriller, but it comes closer to the truth than ever imagined.Thank you, Mr. Richards, for a good read.
Another fast paced adventure, destined to join Richard's long line of best sellersAnother winner!I couldn't put the book down...I went from absolutely certain of situation, understood the rationale and was 100% with Quinn and sharing his rage...to WHAT?????What just happened, huh...OMG...how does Richard come up with such wonderful adventures and plots and twists so consistently! This book is sure to rank right up there with Cure, Brain Web and every other one of his books that I had a hard time...
Fascinating subject and interesting concept that misses the mark I think. It plods along and slows down in some places. Because the story transpires in such a short period of time, but the backstory is rather complicated, much of the book is spent having people explain what happened in the past, often while constrained by zip ties. Not enough of the book is devoted to the "thrill" part of this self-described thriller. I did enjoy Richards' explanation of his research and the science behind the p...
Did not finish book. Was not what I expected when I chose it.
