The beginning was a bit confusing, as the reader is just dropped into the middle of the story, with no explanation of what is going on. The ending was also not very satisfying. I was hoping at least to see how Wendy and Roland were doing. The few pages on them just wasn't enough. And it seemed like so much time was spent just getting all the characters to the monkey house, that I was expecting more to happen there. ( ) This edge-of-the-seat thriller keeps the reader guessing as the author plays with the idea of drugs that can predispose a person to violence when adrenalin is released into the blood stream. And worse than that, the drug can lay dormant for years. The antidote makes the "user" forget what they've done, but once you start taking them, you need to keep them up to keep the demons at bay. Is this the future path for chemical warfare? Soldiers pop pills to make them violent? The scenario is horrifying and what if it was a gas not a pill? The author does a good job of imagining possibilities. Nicholson hits a home run with this exciting thriller. The plot will keep you on the edge of your seat while you try and put the pieces together. The prose is sharp and makes for a quick read. Don't start this late in the evening unless you have the next day off from work. It's weird and frightening, and speaks volumes about our current throw-away society. You may even think twice about that next blood pressure pill. Nice work, Mr. Nicholson! I'm already off to the sequel! “Liquid Fear” by Scott Nicholson: Right from the start Nicholson throws you into mystery. It’s non-stop encounters as the characters—as well as myself—race against a clock they’re unaware is ticking to remember what it is they forgot only to block out what they know in order to keep the fear at bay. David Dunn—or is it Roland Doyle—Anita Mokesky, Wendy Leng and Alexis Morgan are all remnants of a ten-year old experiment gone wrong and buried. At least that’s what everyone thinks. But Dr. Sebastian Briggs hasn’t given up on his project and brings his subjects back together. Will their fear overcome any rational thought turning them into human, raging animals? Kudos to Nicholson for penning yet again another great story to get lost in. A great read no matter the time of day or year. Reviewed by Starr Gardinier Reina, author of “Deadly Decisions” In this dark novel, a drug trial for fear response seemed to have failed ten years ago. One volunteer died and the pther participants lives were ruined. Now, a pharmaceutical company and an ambitious U.S. senator become interested. The story is compicated in that for the first section of the book characters appear with no real explination of who they are. Since paranoia and fear are at the base of Dr. Sebastian Biggs's expirement, it is little wonder that a number of the characters have aliases which adds to the complexity of the story. Things do pick up in the second half of the book with mad scientist Biggs going crazier every moment. Certainly an original concept and I liked the second half of the story more than the first but overall, this book wasn't for me. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

When Roland Doyle wakes up in an unfamiliar motel room with a strange man's wallet in his pocket and a woman's dead body in the bathroom, he fears the worst...and that's before he finds the vial of pills labeled "take one every 4 hrs or else." Or else what?Ten years ago, Dr. Sebastian Briggs's clinical drug trial for a cutting-edge fear-response drug went horribly wrong--or did it? It's true that one trial participant died and five others were left with no memory of what happened to them. But now several interested parties, including a major pharmaceutical company and an ambitious U.S. senator, are willing to back Briggs's continued research. All he has to do is recall his five surviving "volunteers," whose addiction to a mysterious drug has left them largely at his disposal. They will do anything necessary to keep the pills coming and to stave off the creeping phobias, intense sexual impulses, and all-consuming madness that lurk on the edges of their minds. It's easy enough for the good doctor to lure the survivors back to the remote Monkey House, where the original trials took place. But when the pills finally run out...that's when the real show begins. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
