Minds eye douglas richards free download

This is a very good book. You should read it but be warned, you will spend a lot of time with staring at your ebook reader when you do.

Please have the courage to quit, eat and drink something once in a while. The book will still be there. Or you can wait a few years? I've read a few of Doug's books so far, so thought it was time I left a quick review. For me, it's a recipe I can get behind. His books are a fast read. I can usually finish them in a couple nights of skipping tv. I am also very impressed with the quality of a self-published author. To think that he finishes writing it, and instead of spending months at a publisher getting hacked to pieces by editors And lastly, he's a local author!

I live in Sacramento, CA, and it's always fun to read books that are set in places you're familiar with. All in all, I'm a fan and will continue to look forward to the next book by Doug.

Aug 10, Nichole Liza rated it did not like it. Don't let the ratings and NYT best seller list fool you. Mediocre writing and poor character development. Oct 03, Lyndsy rated it it was amazing. I got the book Brainweb, but when I started reading it, I realized I was missing something Mind's Eye. Stopped what I was doing and then went back to read this one. This is an excellent book.

A really disturbing look at what may be coming next for humanity for sure. We seem to be using technology to avoid human interaction now, I can't imagine what being able to surf the web in our heads will do to our desire and ability to communicate with each other on a more personal level. I do suppose tha I got the book Brainweb, but when I started reading it, I realized I was missing something I guess I have to allow for the idea that more disconnection is the better path.

I liked the characters in this one. Richards gives the main character some depth as the book progresses, which is great I wish he would have given more about some of the other characters as well since it seems that they'll be appearing in later books and intimately connected to them.

The writing style is enjoyable. Description is woven throughout the book so we gradually learn what the characters look like, what the environments look like, etc. I don't enjoy it when that stuff gets dumped on me all at once unless it fits the book that is.

Given the advancing pace of technology, the ideas in the book aren't that farfetched. And we already know the despicable things people will do to each other to achieve their goals. The end was a bit of a surprise, which is sort of annoying since I like to be able to see things coming.

I thought about what I might have missed, but couldn't come up with anything. Either it wasn't there or the author was really subtle about the details. Either way, good job. Definitely recommend this book. Jan 14, David rated it really liked it. As if I had never read it before, my Kindle Fire indicates it is new to me.

Maybe a different view four years later. I chose this book along with "Quantum Lens" by the same author. In the meantime I also read "Murder on the Isle of Capri". All three books are quick reads, excellent writing. What if you could browse the Internet simply by bringing to mind As if I had never read it before, my Kindle Fire indicates it is new to me. What if you could browse the Internet simply by bringing to mind whatever you wished? What if you could use the same technology, and like ESP, see and hear every thought from everyone within six miles, and filter it at will?

Imagine who among your close friends, and intimate relationships would want to kill you because you knew their dark secrets. And, they in turn could use the same technology. This story covers several aspects of the old cliches of military intelligence wanting your capabilities, and wanting to kill you. Unfortunately, if you already have bought into the early media propaganda "be afraid" , you might target every follower of Islam as an extremist, and every corporate purveyor of the latest scientific advance as not acting in your best interests, based on this story.

Thankfully, the lead female character is not a cliche, and plays a stronger role than the woman in "Quantum Lens". This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This started out as a really great action packed mystery about a man searching for his identity after waking up in a dumperster.

The book began to drag towards the 2nd half, too many unnecessary details and explanations. Some characters could have remained nameless just for the sake of keeping the reader more engaged. Overall, I give it three stars because the plot was brillant and the way the romance bloomed between the two characters is something I can surely appreciate. So promising. So disappointing Spoiler alert.

The main antagonist is revealed in the end. A jihadist. The book is revealed in the end. A justification of the American way. I tire of the continuous 'we are the world leaders and all is justifiable in the name of anti terror'. Thought provoking! I enjoyed the fresh ideas and creative twists. The questions posed about the growing dependence on technology were frighteningly realistic.

Sep 21, Daniel Kincaid rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster, he realizes quickly a few things that would change his life. He doesn't know who he is. People are after him, wanting to kill him. He has implants in his brain that allows him to surf the internet with his thoughts.

He can read people's minds. Staying alive isn't Nick's only objective, as he starts a journey to piece together what has happened to him and how he ended up with these two unique gifts. But as he and Megan build this crazy puzzle, the When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster, he realizes quickly a few things that would change his life. But as he and Megan build this crazy puzzle, they both realize there's a lot more at stake here than just Nick's life. Is humanity even ready for this new kind of technology?

Can we handle it? Will we use it to usher a new dawn, or will human civilization destroy itself completely? Struggling to stay alive against forces all around them who want them dead, Nick and Megan need to not only solve a dark and sinister conspiracy and also affirm to human society is ready for the changes that are about to come.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Douglas E. Richards is a genius. It's not only his uncanny ability to come up with fascinating concepts and stories and execute them to the nth degree, it's also his ability to write flesh and blood, real-as-you-are characters, pitting them against impossible odds, and through all of that make them learn about themselves and the society we live in, and give them them chance to evolve.

Nick, Megan and Alex are wonderful characters, and even though this book is a high-octane roller-coaster with barely time to breathe between events, revelations and plot twists all done marvelously , there was still plenty enough time and space for the reader to get to know them inside and out.

But it's something I came to expect from Richards, and he doesn't disappoint. The story itself, as mentioned before, is fascinating, and Richards uses the opportunity, as usual, to examine the human condition. As with previous novels I've read from his, there are many moral dilemmas tackled in this novel.

I love how technology isn't something to be taken lightly or for granted, something Richards explores in-depth this novel, mostly how dependent most of our society has become on the internet and technology in general. Have we lat touch with ourselves, with our humanity? Have be become too depraved, allowing our most crazed, disgusting fantasies come to the surface via the internet?

Have we lost touch with who we really are? And would it be a good thing to be able to read people's minds? Knowing what they really think of us, or letting them know what we really think of them? Would we accept those thing sand move on, or will we be petty, starting fights, wage wars and ultimately kill each other? Grim concept, I know. But as Richards tackle those questions and make you think, he also tries to remain positive- which is important.

The problem, for me, with most of modern sci-fi, is that it had become too dark, too gritty, and way too negative. It's as if humanity is doomed no matter what. And hey, maybe we are. But being positive isn't necessarily the same as being naive- quite the opposite.

Yes, our society has a tendency to be quite unpleasant, cruel, violent. But we seem to have forgotten we also have many, MANY positive attributes. Glass half full and all that, you know? And laugh- Richards has a great sense of humor too. Five stars! Hell of a fun ride.

A shocking technothriller written by a master. Mind's Eye is a book about Nick Hall. Hall wakes up in a dumpster with no memory of who he is or how he got there. What he discovers next will shock himself and you as the reader. Nick can read other people's minds and thoughts. While incredibly interesting, this is also full of incredible pain and annoyance as he cannot turn it off.

He also realizes that he can surf the web within his own head. When he thinks of a question -- the answer pages just a A shocking technothriller written by a master. When he thinks of a question -- the answer pages just appear in his "vision" like a heads up display. There's one problem--Nick is being hunted.

Someone out there wants him dead. The narration was done by Adam Verner. I've listened to other titles from Verner before and really enjoyed his tone and narration style. He is definitely one of those narrators that adds to the story instead of taking away from it.

Verner gets through incredibly technical and scientific sentences and paragraphs with ease. Using his ninja-like tongue to maneuver this complex, yet compelling novel. So, I had to take a few days to gather my thoughts on this because I enjoyed it so much. I don't know if it was because it reminded me so much of a Michael Crichton novel, or if I had just been looking for a new author to fall in love with.

But man, did I really enjoy this novel. It may take up to minutes before you receive it. The file will be sent to your Kindle account.

By being able to access his assassin's thoughts, Nick is able to counter their efforts and escape their clutches. He also learns he has been a guinea pig for cerebral implants which give him the web surfing capabilities.

But reading minds seems to be a double edged sword. He has no way to turn the ability off and as long as he is near other people, he receives a constant Also, he learns the innermost thoughts of anyone he comes in contact with and discovers a lot of the population to be sick and demented. I won't get into much more of the plot as I don't want to give away any of the twists.

The book is full of action and double crosses. It will keep you guessing as to what will happen next. The middle of the book slows down a bit as the pros and cons of mind reading and thought-driven internet access are debated.

I think Nick and his friends make a good case for what is their final decision on his abilities. However, the government and certain sociopathic individuals have other plans. If you enjoy a fast paced adventure with a slant to cutting edge technology, the I think you will enjoy "Mind's Eye.

The characters were fun to read, the action was pretty solid and the plot was fairly twisty. There was a bit more exposition than I thought was necessary but it didn't really detract from the story's flow much.
