Review by Nigel (300601) Rating (8/10) Review
by Nigel The main story revolves around the employment of Jon Sciler, a Far Warrior, as a games tester for Maze. The Far Warriors are the survivors from the second Dirangesept expedition who are hated on Earth for failing to capture the planet. The game Maze is developing is far superior to anything currently available. The brain is tapped directly and the player experiences, for all intents and purposes, another perfect reality. As time passes Jon comes to realises there is more to Maze than meets the eye. With other testers dying in the game, and then in 'real' life, a race is on to find out what is really happening. This
novel is an excellent debut by the author Roger Levy. In much
the same manner as Greg
Egan, he explores how we perceive reality, as well as spinning
a very readable science fiction thriller. |
