From the Publisher:
Years in the future, the U.S. is a splintered country. The city-state of Philadelphia is ripe for revolution. Mark McGovern, the son of a rich politician, lives in a world of expensive parties and frivolous biological mods, a sharp contrast to the poor underworld of his best friend, Darin Kinsley. When the two accidentally release a sophisticated virus called a ‘slicer' into the net, Mark must try to stem the tide of casualties before the charged political situation explodes.
But the slicer is more than a virus. To destroy it, Mark must first sort truth from lies, not only for himself, but for the mind of the child who holds his fate.
What other people are saying:
"David Walton's Terminal Mind is a fast-paced thriller that slices across the landscape of a darkly imagined future."
~Judson Roberts, author of The Strongbow Saga
"Terminal Mind is a fast-paced SF-thriller with a very human heart. Walton creates a believable world, full of high-tech innovations that excite the imagination, but what hooked me were the characters: a varied cast of fully-fleshed individuals, conflicted and engaging. I didn't want to put it down."
~Elaine Isaak, author of The Eunuch's Heir
"If you like distinctive character voices, cool science fiction gizmos, and a dozen plot threads that weave together into a dazzling whole, you need to read Terminal Mind."
~Mike Shultz, frequent contributor to F&SF
"...a gritty, fast-paced, page-turning read"
~Ian Creasey, frequent contributor to Asimov's

Rating: 
I really enjoyed the book. The mystery starts with that killer first paragraph. Who is that speaking? Once I started the book, I couldn't wait to get back and finish it. rnrnThe future that Dave imagines seems to be a reasonable extension of today's technologies. Philadelphia, Norfolk, the internet, and biological engineering have matured and evolved. The human characters in the story remain very human though. You will find yourself cheering for the good guys and booing the bad guys as the story develops.
