Search - Mind Catcher

This one is every bit as good as Darnton's perhaps better known THE EXPERIMENT!

From back cover: Brain damaged in a near-death trauma, thirteen-year-old Tyler lies in a New York hospital bed. At his side, his father waits helplessly as two scientists take charge of the boy's fate.
One is a neurosurgeon. His unorthodox approach uses computers to control the patient's responses. The other is a researcher with an experimental method of his own--isolate the spark of human consciousness . . . and capture it forever.
Together, they're sending Tyler far beyond the frontiers of medical science into a dark and terrifying netherworld of man and machine--a place no living soul has gone before . . . and from which one desperate person will try to bring him back.

This book was very hard to put down! I thoroughly enjoyed this very fast-paced book, and recommend it to anyone who likes suspense.

"What really scares us about science & technology isn't that they will be perverted by mad researchers or abused by dictatiors. It's that their progress is unstoppable, irreversible. John Darnton taps into that FEAR in his latest 'science adventure' thriller." --Los Angeles Times --

A chilling paranormal thriller.
