Fasten your seat belts–the white-knuckle thrills at Utopia, the world’s most fantastic theme park, escalate to nightmare proportions in this intricately imagined techno-thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lincoln Child.
Rising out of the stony canyons of Nevada, Utopia is a world on the cutting edge of technology. A theme park attracting 65,000 visitors each day, its dazzling array of robots and futuristic holograms make it a worldwide sensation. But ominous mishaps are beginning to disrupt the once flawless technology. A friendly robot goes haywire, causing panic, and a popular roller coaster malfunctions, nearly killing a teenaged rider. Dr. Andrew Warne, the brilliant computer engineer who designed much of the park’s robotics, is summoned from the East Coast to get things back on track.

On the day Warne arrives, however, Utopia is caught in the grip of something far more sinister. A group of ruthless criminals has infiltrated the park’s computerized infrastructure, giving them complete access to all of Utopia’s attractions and systems. Their communication begins with a simple and dire warning: If their demands are met, none of the 65,000 people in the park that day will ever know they were there; if not, chaos will descend, and every man, woman, and child will become a target. As one of the brains behind Utopia, Warne finds himself thrust into a role he never imagined–trying to save the lives of thousands of innocent people. And as the minutes tick away, Warne’s struggle to outsmart his opponents grows ever more urgent, for his only daughter is among the unsuspecting crowds in the park.

Lincoln Child evokes the technological wonders of Utopia with such skill and precision it is hard to believe the park exists only in the pages of this extraordinary book. Like Jurassic Park, Utopia sweeps readers into a make-believe world of riveting suspense, technology, and adventure.

I loved this book and highly recommend it. A rollercoaster of thrills that make it far too difficult to get any sleep!

Amazing story

I nearly gave up at first, not quite sure why, but glad I stuck with it... A classic Lincoln Child storyline and would recommend to people who like a good, non-gruesome, action-thriller-mystery type book with good guys, bad guys and a ticking clock!

Slow start, but picks up quickly...

The story is entertaining. The characters are engaging. The oversized use of the adjective "oversized" is teeth clenchingly awful after a while. I considered giving the book 3 out of 5 because of it. Where was the editor to weed out this ridiculous overuse of the word?! Maybe they did get rid of a lot of instances of it? Maybe every even remotely appropriate adjective was "oversized" at one point? Either way, it was irritating and distracting. What does it even mean...? Large? Unnecessarily large? Unfit for purpose due to its size? Larger at the top than the bottom...??? Yeah, it was irritating.

Still, good story, good plot. It would have been nice at the end to be reassured about the health outcomes of Pool and the other bloke who helped in the tunnels at the end (no spoilers).

I love audio books and have several by this author but this is genuinely one of the most boring and over extended novels I’ve ever struggled with. The plot is dull. The characters are cardboard. The endless regurgitation of technical details mind numbing. And it’s at least 5 times too long. It did serve the useful purpose of sending me to sleep almost instantly whilst in hospital but I’m out now and so is this lumbering mess of a book.
