The Lucifer Code

I read this book after thoroughly enjoying Michael Cordy's previous novel, "The Miracle Strain" (now called The Miracle Code). I enjoyed this one even more! He is quite adept at incorporating the latest in science and technology into an intriguing and thrilling mystery. This one takes the reader into the near future, where breakthroughs in quantum physics and computer technology are applied to solve the ultimate question of mankind -- what happens after we die? What is discovered, and how, results in a multifaceted plot that will keep you enthralled to the very end.

This book was a last minute grab and I'm glad I did. The plot was exciting, character development was very good and gave you insight into where they had come from. The ending did provide a few twists and the book certainly kept me turning the pages all the way through. The title gives a hint of the plot, although I'm not quite sure what "code" refers to, other than I know many of Cordy's other books have "code" in the title. The play of science being used in religion is an interesting concept since historically, that has not been the case. Some of the segments in the book left the reader hanging and never really resolved themselves. Hence the 4 star instead of 5. Cordy has given us a thriller that definitely holds its own with some of the best. I'll be checking out some of his other books after this one.

I was spellbound by the plot of the book. Contrary to the book title this is not one on codes like Da Vinci but really an interesting and twisting plot about how computer technology is harnessed to decipher brain waves etc. THe characters remained a bit flat, perhaps there wasn't enough space devoted to building them, but overall a good read. I am tempted tp read another one by Cordy.

One of the truly best books I've ever read and perhaps the best of Michael Cordy's works this book is a must have for any fiction fan. I couldn't put this book down.
