SynopsisThe classic thriller and "New York Times" bestseller is reissued with a new look. Prone to violent seizures, Harry Benson undergoes an experimental procedure that implants electrodes in his brain, sending soothing pulses to the brain's pleasure canyon. However, Harry learns how to control the pulses and increase their frequency. Harry then escapes--a homicidal maniac loose in the city--and nothing will stop his murderous rampage. Reissue., Michael Crichton's best-selling thrillers are so fast-paced and delightfully riveting that they inevitably go on to become box office hits. Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Eaters of the Dead have most recently drawn crowds to the big screen. Although The Terminal Man boasts no dinosaurs or bloody battles, this sci-fi classic does present some disturbing questions about the morality of electronic mind control. Brilliant, neurotic computer specialist Harry Benson suffers from violent seizures. To the members of the Neuropsychiatric Research Unit of a Los Angeles hospital, he is the perfect human guinea pig. They are convinced that computer-controlled electrodes, when implanted in his brain, will soothe his violent impulses. Apparently, the operation is a success-until Benson escapes the hospital and learns to program the implants himself. Suddenly, the perfect patient has become a homicidal time bomb. Based on a bibliography of careful research, this modern Frankenstein story is unsettlingly believable. Let George Wilson stimulate the various excitement centers of your brain with the riveting impulses of his vivid narration.
