After Death by

My rating:
2 of 5 stars
I am afraid I am going to have to join the camp of the didn't enjoy folks, the writing seemed stale and the character development was nil.
Michael Mace is the only survivor of an incident at a research facility. When he awakens in the Morgue, he can connect to the Internet with his mind and manipulate it. This power will be used over and over to thwart the bad guys.
Not sure why Nina Dozier and her son John were added to the story they really don't offer much other than an interracial love interest for Michael Mace and a chance for Michael to show he can outwit John's biological Father who is the leader of a gang.
The main protagonist is Durand Calaphas the Internal Security Agency's most vicious agent. The man is sick and we spend most of the book trapped in his mind where he believes life to be some sort of video game. Kill enough people and you get to ascend to a higher level. Determined to kill Michael Mace and ascend to the next level Michael thwarts him by unleashing robot dogs on him.
On the way to rescue Michael the robot dogs witness a serial killer disposing of his latest victim. Another subplot that isn't really connected to the main storyline.
With John's biological Father and Calaphas dead John, Nina & Michael with new names go off to live happily ever after with a Golden Retriever named Lucy while Michael aka Superhacker exposes the bad guys on the Internet.
