Utopia : a novel Cover Image Book

Utopia : a novel / Lincoln Child.

Child, Lincoln, (author.).

Summary:

Utopia is a world on the cutting-edge of technology; a theme park attracting 65,000 visitors each day. But things are beginning to disrupt the once-flawless technology. A friendly robot goes haywire, causing panic, and a popular roller coaster malfunctions, nearly killing a teenaged rider. Dr. Andrew Warne, the brilliant computer engineer who designed much of the park's robotics, is summoned from the East Coast to get things back on track. However, Utopia is caught in the grip of something far more sinister. A group of ruthless criminals has infiltrated the park's computerized infrastructure, giving them complete access to all of Utopia's attractions and systems. Their communication begins with a simple and dire warning: If their demands are met, none of the 65,000 people in the park that day will ever know they were there; if not, chaos will descend and every man, woman, and child will become a target.
