I read this book months ago and never got around to reviewing it (bad bad bad) and now I barely remember it at all, even when I read other reviews. That is not a good sign. The story line is one you might find with Connie Willis, actually. Rival research labs working on the outrageous idea that out of body experiences can be controlled and directed. Some kind of glitch, an outsider with a possible fix. All the stuff of normal SF. Just not very memorable. I received a review copy of "Trial Run" by Thomas Locke (Revell) through NetGalley.com. Thomas Locke, which is Davis Bunns' pseudonym, is a fantastic writer. This thriller or suspense novel is one of those stories that does not invite you to come in and live in its reality for the duration of the reading. It hauls you in kicking and screaming all the way, and once in, there is no way to get your mind turned off long enough to eat or sleep because you just HAVE to know what is happening to your friends and colleagues next. Yes, it is that kind of a book, and there is no way to predict the next step, never mind the outcome. Excellent story telling, just what readers have come to expect from him. Vivid imagery, even when what you are seeing and experiencing have never been part of your life. Yet the reader sees it clearly in the mind’s eye. Feelings that the reader has never had become an active part. Thank you to Graf-Martin Publicity Group and Revell Publishing, a division of Baker Publishing Group, for the opportunity to read this book. I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. A positive critique was not required. The opinions stated are my own. This is a good beginning to a new series. I don't know a lot of computer language so I would get a little confused here and there but I always got caught up. I love the characters and look forward to reading the next in the series It would be nice to be able to move without moving your body. I look forward to seeing where Thomas Locke will take us next. I received a copy of this book from Revell reads for a fair and honest opinion. A great book for those who like suspenseful thrillers. It gives you some ideas to ponder at the start of the book and then as the book progresses, it fills you into a deeper understanding of those ideas. I am not usually a fan of this type of book ,but decided to give it a chance. It kept me reading to see how things would turn out. So for all those sci-fi, thriller fans out there, I would give it a chance. I received this book free from the publisher to review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

But six years ago, I read and was intrigued by the human consciousness theme in Fault Lines, the prequel novel in this series. Besides, I already know that Thomas Locke (Davis Bunn) is an excellent writer.
So, I made an exception and took some time to get through all the stuff I didn't understand so that I could latch on to the scenes that made sense to me and the parts I found interesting about consciousness and time. Including some aspects of those themes that I've heard and chewed on before.
I do plan on reading the last book in the series too. ( )
