Mindwar Trilogy (Book 2)
Part of a trilogy by Klavan about a high tech attack on America. A terrorist has created a mind world in order to carry out his planned cyber attack on the U.S. Opposed to them is a secret American government organization working to thwart the planned attack.
Rick Dial was a star quarterback when his career was cut short due to injuries suffered in an auto accident. Unable to walk his gaming instincts were called to the attention of the government agency who then recruited him. Rick had already been trained and sent into the mind world as was described in a previous novel.
Information is gathered about another planned attack from mind world and Rick is the only one that is available to go back in and thwart it. The terrorists, as a means of stopping Rick kidnap his best friend Molly and threaten to kill her if he does not stop his actions in the mind world. The plight Molly is in and her attempts to escape are delineated along side of Rick’s actions to prevent the attack on the U.S.
The novel is, of course, science fiction, but is highly imaginative and logical based on the facts presented. It is very well done as an adventure story and keeps the reader glued to the book. The story is planned to be continued in the next book in the series with the ending of this crafted to lead logically into the next.

In the aftermath of the events at El Corazon, Carter and Mel are faced with the possibility of losing Lily altogether. Because Mel has already been turned, they know that Lily carries the same gene. The progression of the Tick virus has been slowed temporarily thanks to the medical team at El Corazon, but Carter knows the only way to save her is to find the cure. And the only way Carter and Mel can get the cure is to work hand in hand with the very people who betrayed them.
Ever since escaping the Farm and surviving the events that followed, Carter has been especially careful in protecting Lily. And it could be to the detriment of the rest of the survivors at Base Camp. So when Lily’s pregnant friend McKenna decides to head to Canada, Carter supports Lily’s wish to travel with her.
Life for Lily and her twin sister, Mel, has irrevocably changed. A viral outbreak has left much of the country’s population infected, mutated into creatures driven by bloodlust. They call them Ticks. And nothing is as tasty to a Tick as the hormonal blood of teens. The so-called solution was the creation of the Farms – facilities built to house and protect the nation’s teenage population. But Lily knows this is far from the truth. Instead of protecting the kids, the Farms collect and dole out their blood as food for the Ticks.
When your computer loses your email, do you ever stop to wonder if it did it on purpose? What about when your car starts making that funny noise, then stops as soon as you get a mechanic to look it over – do you wonder if maybe it’s plotting to drive you crazy? If you’ve ever felt like technology is out to get you, you might actually be right.
