But, as she leaving on her bike to go home she is hit hard by a bus and is in a coma for a few years. Working on her prototype in the lab using human trials, this could be a great thing. People who have anmesia or waking from comas or perhaps even helping a blind man see. When you first begin, you feel convoluted, and disjointed and then.you are grabbed and taken on a thriller roller coaster ride until the surprise ending! Ula Miskin a brilliant neuroscientist is working on a project that could change people's lives. The reviewer is a veteran correspondent for National Geographic Magazine and the author of seven books. ![]() They’re in place and evolving all around us today, untested in their formidable powers and heedless of potential consequences. Innovations related to the development of artificial intelligence, which relies on many of the same mathematical premises that enable Ula Mishkin’s unsettling computer program, are no longer a matter of fiction or a distant imagined future. Justifiably so: As recently as a decade ago, this book’s storyline and narrative mechanisms would have consigned it to the arcane universe of science fiction. Gabbay makes the technological feats behind the mating of Mia’s mind and a computer program entirely believable and compelling. Eventually, the truth does emerge - the motives and identity of the murderer are unearthed - in a shattering collision between reality and appearances that only seems inevitable after the fact.Īccess Point is a bravado performance by the author, an accomplished screenwriter as well as a novelist, known for his air-tight plots.

If the book draws on classic crime motifs that reach back a century - the midnight slashing of an attractive woman in London, the erratic efforts of Scotland Yard to solve the crime - its subtext is the unleashing of a thoroughly modern scientific revolution. But there is nothing simple about the murder, the murderer or the investigation. The subject, put simply, is the fatal knifing in England of a young American art student, Mia Fraser, and a determined detective’s search for her killer. But its plunge into the dark shadows of contemporary life is arguably far more unsettling. Nightmare is also the operative metaphor of Access Point. It marks a significant departure in theme and setting for Gabbay, author of a critically acclaimed cycle of spy thrillers that follow American agent Jack Teller through a series of nightmarish crises: the espionage crucible of Lisbon during World War Two the Cold War backdrop to the Kennedy assassination in Berlin and Florida the unending tensions set in motion by the Iranian revolution and the fall of the Shah in 1978.
