RedDevil 4 A Novel Eric C Leuthardt Books

First and foremost, Red Devil 4 is an excellent medical science fiction thriller rich with convincing detail. Clearly the author knows what he’s talking about and didn’t simply “read a book once” about the workings of the human brain. The characters are well-drawn, convincing and easily visualized, their behavior well-motivated and consistent. Suspense was in the “nail-biting” range, the ending impossible to predict yet ultimately satisfying.

The cautionary tale element is clear as man dabbles with brain implants and the development of artificial intelligence but even more chilling is the fact the author is not only a neurosurgeon but also involved in bioengineering, hinting at the potential for a dark prophetic element underlying the story’s premise.

Ethical implications related to medical and legal issues were well-stated and thought-provoking to say the least. The fact that first and foremost medicine is indeed a profit-making business was readily apparent; helping people is purely incidental. Even the challenges of balancing a career with relationship and family obligations were addressed, particularly when a person’s life’s work has the potential of effecting a paradigm shift, making the characters even more believable and human.

I’m not one who cares for graphic or gratuitously gory descriptions but the author managed to make them tolerable, often by surprising bits of dry humor that had me laughing out loud. If you’re a fan of Michael Crichton I especially recommend this book. It’s highly intelligent and masterful in technique. I’m a picky and discriminating reader who continually has “editor mode” running in the background. As such there were a few metaphors that seemed inappropriate for a book set in the year 2053 and whoever the copy editor was missed numerous minor flaws like missing words. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this book as a connoisseur of outstanding writing skill regardless of genre.

RedDevil 4 A Novel Eric C Leuthardt Books Reviews

Always looking for new books that are this exciting, and really dive into the science of how their inner worlds work. This was a great sci fi thriller, which had some genuinely new things to say when contemplating bridging the gap between minds and computers. My favorite book I've read this year!
I loved this one. A real page turner. I read it on a vacation, and so fortunately I didn't have to put it down to go to work! There's a little Dan Brown in it, but definitely with an edge especially in the beginning, and I also really liked the backdrop of brain science written by someone who is obviously an expert. If you like futurist readings like Michio Kaku as I do, this would be a good one in the fiction category. I highly recommend.
This book was actually a gift for someone else, but they relayed that it was a stimulating read. In lieu of getting that person's exact take on the mood, pace and characters, I'm rating all of the above based on my own expectations of a stimulating sci-fi read. So...don't take my completely uninformed word for it.
Loved reading this book. I happened to have a 6 hour train ride to get through, and I saw this book and I thought why not? Well I'll tell you why not. I did not get up between pages 15 and 253, or about 5 straight hours. By the end if it, I was happy at the ending, sad there wasn't more, and strangely heartbroken over a character who was a computer program.
Readers with science and technology backgrounds would probably enjoy the book more, but please take a shot if you're on the fence.
My daughter is a pediatrician with her own practice and three young children. This reading takes her mind off of all her responsibilities and gives her a chance to "get away" because she can rarely "get away" for more than an hour of two weekly. Frankly, anyone who likes mysteries and thrillers will enjoy the book; the fact it is a medical thriller written by a physician makes it even more interesting in terms of author's familiarity with the subject matter.
Wish the emotional stuff had been as sophisticated as the science...emotional is a bit too simplistic...book moves intensely and interestingly though and the plot is scary and possibly a look into the future..worth the read...
Very intelligent sci-fi thriller from an author with a fascinating background. Did some digging after I read the book and Leuthardt is in the top 10 most patents of current inventors! While some people have compared him to Crichton, Mr. Jurassic Park never practiced medicine, he just got his MD and left for hollywood; Leuthardt is a currently practicing Neurosurgeon and inventor. He's working on some of the "sci-fi" stuff from the book in his lab right now, what a cool connection! I will definitely be looking out for the next book from this guy.
