Here’s Barnes
and Noble’s website ‘s review of the book --
“RedDevil 4,
by Eric C. Leuthardt
A science-fiction thriller that is as
thematically powerful as Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain, this debut novel—set in the year 2053—is flawless.
Featuring a cast of brilliantly developed characters, breakneck pacing, and
literally nonstop action, the storyline revolves around the spread of a virus
in neuroprosthetic implants (used by the majority of the population to stay
connected to the Internet) that turns ordinary people into mindless murderers.
Not only is Leuthardt’s portrayal of the near future meticulously described and
incredibly plausible, the social and political implications of humankind
“upgrading” their consciousnesses are chilling to say the least. If you like
your thrillers heaped with a healthy dose of scientific speculation, you’re
going to love RedDevil 4.”
