Based on the premise of realising the huge potential of our brains, I actually quite enjoyed this technothriller and found myself being drawn back to read more. It is a bit clumsy at times in terms of style, it has good creativity, the characters are well defined, but it is a bit too cheesy. (

Richards, Douglas E. Wired. E-book ed., Paragon Press, 2012. Wired 1.
In Wired, a bioengineer creates a pill that briefly enhances mental acuity while amping up any sociopathic tendencies you may have. In short, it is a pill that produces mad scientists in a hurry. Villains chase the engineer with the recipe. Can a retired special ops soldier save her? Wired aims to be a thriller with the pace of a Tom Clancy novel, but Douglas E. Richards has not solved the exposition problem. In long, talky passages, characters tell each other what they should already know—three stars. (

Worth every minute spent reading

All I can add to the many reviews of Douglas Richards debut novel is that I read this after reading many of his later books and I still think he's a genius at mixing hard science and technology with a raging good plot! (

Kira Miller and David Desh had a great potential to be instant bestseller upto about 50% of the book. However, it all goes downhill rapidly for the rest of the book. The downfall is so steep that by the end of it, you feel cheated. I wont recommend this book to anyone. Huge disappointment. (

Very interesting and well researched story, despite a tilt at religion that comes across as more unsophisticated than it should, be given the presumed high intelligence of the protagonists at the time. (
