Sean Randall reviewed Wired by Douglas E. Richards
Review of 'Wired' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was quite a compelling thriller. The opening, which is what really gripped me, reads like a chase scene from a high-budget action movie and of course I had to read on then.
The religious overtones aren't overly bothersome; indeed you'll hardly notice them. Nevertheless Richards clearly does throw a religious motif, so the verbal aggression has that muted, God-fearing feel that the believer US novelist tends to adopt. There were a few stereotypes, such as the computer geek thrown into things over his head by association and all-powerful government officials wielding unitary authority, but the plot was good, the premise solid and the foibles forgivable. I'd read more.
