Summary

A blockbuster new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lincoln Child， centered on a dominant tech company--Chrysalis--whose ground-breaking virtual reality technology is redefining the way we live 。。。 and possibly introducing a catastrophic danger to the world。

Like millions of people around the world， Jeremy Logan （famed enigmalogist， or investigator of unexplained things） has grown to rely on his incredible new tech device。 Made by Chrysalis， the global multi-billion-dollar tech company， the small optical device connects people in a stunning new way， tapping into virtual reality for the first time on a wide scale。

And yet， when Logan is summoned by Chrysalis to investigate a disturbing anomaly in the massive new product rollout， Logan is shocked to see the true scope of the massive company。 He also quickly realizes that something in Chrysalis's technology is very wrong， and could be potentially devastating。 The question is what， and where is the danger coming from？ In Lincoln Child's wildly inventive new novel， high tech comes to life alongside the myriad dangers it poses， making for one of Child's most infectious， entertaining thrillers to date。

Jeremy Logan is back to solve the unsolvable。 People connected to the tech company， Chrysalis， are dying， and Jeremy is called in to find out why。 Like Child's other titles， readers are sucked into the story right away。 He does a wonderful job of pulling readers in and setting the scene。 We are introduced to the tech company and a list of characters who are unique and interesting。 I found myself questioning each of their motives and even their honesty。 As Jeremy explores possible suspects and mo Jeremy Logan is back to solve the unsolvable。 People connected to the tech company， Chrysalis， are dying， and Jeremy is called in to find out why。 Like Child's other titles， readers are sucked into the story right away。 He does a wonderful job of pulling readers in and setting the scene。 We are introduced to the tech company and a list of characters who are unique and interesting。 I found myself questioning each of their motives and even their honesty。 As Jeremy explores possible suspects and motives， he dives into the company's virtual reality system and questions if it could be the true method of death。 Be warned， there is a lot of tech in this book。 While it is very interesting， for those of us who are not fully engaged by these things， it does bog down the progression of the story a bit。 Kudos to Child for once again doing his research。 Overall， I enjoyed the book。 It's interesting and relatively fasted paced。 Fans of Child's solo books and those coauthored with Preston are sure to like this addition to the Jeremy Logan series。 Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC and the opportunity to read and review Chrysalis by Lincoln Child。 。。。more

Ok， I might have actually gone with a 4 rating， thinking 4。5， until the ending， which blew me away！ I think my "problem" with this one was a difficulty visualizing it。 It felt very "on a spaceship" to me。 Brilliant story， simply terrifying in a Robin Cook way。 Ok， I might have actually gone with a 4 rating， thinking 4。5， until the ending， which blew me away！ I think my "problem" with this one was a difficulty visualizing it。 It felt very "on a spaceship" to me。 Brilliant story， simply terrifying in a Robin Cook way。 。。。more

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for gifting me an advanced copy。I really enjoy the Jeremy Logan series。 It's a lot of fun。 This one wasn't quite as good as the others I've read in the series。 I think I just wasn't as invested in the technology that made up the premise of the novel， nor did I connect with any of the characters all that much。 That said， the story was entertaining， action-packed， and a fast read， so this one got three and a half stars rounded up。Recommended for fans of techno Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for gifting me an advanced copy。I really enjoy the Jeremy Logan series。 It's a lot of fun。 This one wasn't quite as good as the others I've read in the series。 I think I just wasn't as invested in the technology that made up the premise of the novel， nor did I connect with any of the characters all that much。 That said， the story was entertaining， action-packed， and a fast read， so this one got three and a half stars rounded up。Recommended for fans of technothrillers or Pendergast/Lincoln and Child。 。。。more

To me what makes this a number 1 novel is the author’s ability to all the technical aspects of AI technology understandable to anyone without talking down to those who actually create software。 Amazing and intriguing。 Surprising and intricate plot。 Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this arc

Jeremy Logan， famed enigmalogist， is hired by the tech giant Chrysalis whose new virtual reality device is about to go live。 As the clock ticks down to the global launch， Logan quickly sees there is a very dangerous anomaly in the new technology that could be weaponized。 Although I am a fan of Lincoln Child's solo work， this book didn't hit the mark for me。 The basic story was good and populated with interesting characters and an amazing company compound that had everything in it， but the extens Jeremy Logan， famed enigmalogist， is hired by the tech giant Chrysalis whose new virtual reality device is about to go live。 As the clock ticks down to the global launch， Logan quickly sees there is a very dangerous anomaly in the new technology that could be weaponized。 Although I am a fan of Lincoln Child's solo work， this book didn't hit the mark for me。 The basic story was good and populated with interesting characters and an amazing company compound that had everything in it， but the extensive tech descriptions bogged down the narrative。 Virtual reality has never appealed to me which didn't help improve my reading experience。 It was an intriguing concept but ultimately disappointing for me。 。。。more

Jeremy Logan is back in Chrysalis， the sixth book in the long-running series featuring the intriguing enigmalogist， that began back in 2007 with the novel， Deep Storm。 This time， Logan is called to the Chrysalis Advanced Research Center， a high-tech campus hidden away in a remote corner of the Berkshires。 Something is very wrong at the facility， which produces a high-tech virtual reality device known as Omega， which has all but become ubiquitous with millions around the world relying on the futu Jeremy Logan is back in Chrysalis， the sixth book in the long-running series featuring the intriguing enigmalogist， that began back in 2007 with the novel， Deep Storm。 This time， Logan is called to the Chrysalis Advanced Research Center， a high-tech campus hidden away in a remote corner of the Berkshires。 Something is very wrong at the facility， which produces a high-tech virtual reality device known as Omega， which has all but become ubiquitous with millions around the world relying on the futuristic gadget。But things are not all they seem Chrysalis。 People associated with the company are dying， and even though there appears to be no common denominator between the tragedies， Logan is suspicious。 Because Chrysalis is in the midst of launching the next generation of virtual-reality devices。 Could there be a connection between the deaths and the fancy new VR interfaces？In his new novel， Chrysalis， Lincoln Child deviates from the supernatural roots of the Jeremy Logan series and veers squarely into the dangers of the modern high-tech world， where everyone is linked to everyone else。 Could one bad actor manipulate these global connections for their own nefarious purposes？ I have enjoyed the other five books in the series， and this new installment is a welcome addition。 My only slight disappointment was that I felt it strayed a little from Logan’s supernatural roots。 That said， the novel barreled along at a fast pace and held my interest throughout。 Logan is an interesting character who reminds me a little of a less serious Robert Langdon。 I hope we will see Logan again in the near future， continuing his supernatural journey。In the meantime， if you haven’t read the other books in the Jeremy Logan series， consider giving them a go before you arrive at Chrysalis。 If you have devoured them already， you will enjoy spending some more time with the famed enigmalogist and getting to know him just a little better。All in all， a solid entry in the series which I hope will continue for many more books。 。。。more

Chrysalis by Lincoln Child The premise of this book is intriguing and thought-provoking。 Jeremy Logan is a unique character。 The public's addiction to technology and what the future holds are both conceivable。 The technical descriptions， although fascinating at times， detracted from the primary story。 There was just a overload of information。 Thank you to the author， publisher， and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book。 Chrysalis by Lincoln Child The premise of this book is intriguing and thought-provoking。 Jeremy Logan is a unique character。 The public's addiction to technology and what the future holds are both conceivable。 The technical descriptions， although fascinating at times， detracted from the primary story。 There was just a overload of information。 Thank you to the author， publisher， and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book。 。。。more
