★★★★★
A great continuation of the series
5 out of 5 stars
As I’ve written in numerous other reviews, Douglas E. Richards is a master of his craft. In my opinion, he writes technothrillers better than anyone else writing today. BrainWeb was no different.
Picking up where Mind’s Eye left off, we are once again in the midst of someone who can surf the web from his head and read other people’s minds if they get too close. While this may sound insane, the way that Richards writes the story had me tripping over every word to get to the end.
Nick Hall is a really great protagonist. He’s incredibly likable and understands that what he has is a gift. He tries to only use his powers for good and tries not to use them against his friends and colleagues.
The opening scene had me glued to my seat. The fictional attack that Richards writes about drew me in so quickly that I didn’t even know an hour had passed before I felt like I took a breath.
What ends up happening to Nick and his friends in BrainWeb is thriller writing at it’s finest. Every scene showed just how fragile the system that they were using was and it felt like there were bad guys lurking around every corner.
Overall, if you enjoyed the first Nick Hall book, I would almost guarantee that you’ll enjoy this one. If you like a good technothriller, check out the first book first and then come back to BrainWeb for more.

Another series I really want to read!! Your reviews have always been positive for this author 🙂
Yeah, I grew up reading Michael Crichton — these are the closest I can get to his books now that he’s passed.
