"A keep-you-up-all-night thriller. Intense action, mind-blowing concepts, and breathtaking twists. Enjoy the ride." â??Boyd Morrison, bestselling author of The Vault.

Kira Miller is a brilliant genetic engineer who discovers how to temporarily achieve savant-like capabilities in all areas of thought and creativity. But what if this transcendent level of intelligence brings with it a ruthless megalomania? David Desh left the special forces after his team was brutally butchered in Iran. Now he has been reactivated for one last mission: find Kira Miller, the enigmatic genius behind a bioterror plot that threatens millions. But when Desh learns that the bioterror plot is just the tip of the iceberg, he is thrust into a byzantine maze of deception and intrigue, and he becomes a key player in a deadly game he can't begin to understand. A game that is certain to have a dramatic impact on the future course of human history...

Wired is a smart thriller crammed with breakneck action, mind-expanding science, and intriguing concepts readers will be contemplating long after they've read the last page.… (mehr)

Based on the premise of realising the huge potential of our brains, I actually quite enjoyed this technothriller and found myself being drawn back to read more. It is a bit clumsy at times in terms of style, it has good creativity, the characters are well defined, but it is a bit too cheesy. ( )

Richards, Douglas E. Wired. E-book ed., Paragon Press, 2012. Wired 1.
In Wired, a bioengineer creates a pill that briefly enhances mental acuity while amping up any sociopathic tendencies you may have. In short, it is a pill that produces mad scientists in a hurry. Villains chase the engineer with the recipe. Can a retired special ops soldier save her? Wired aims to be a thriller with the pace of a Tom Clancy novel, but Douglas E. Richards has not solved the exposition problem. In long, talky passages, characters tell each other what they should already know—three stars. ( )

Worth every minute spent reading

All I can add to the many reviews of Douglas Richards debut novel is that I read this after reading many of his later books and I still think he's a genius at mixing hard science and technology with a raging good plot! ( )

Kira Miller and David Desh had a great potential to be instant bestseller upto about 50% of the book. However, it all goes downhill rapidly for the rest of the book. The downfall is so steep that by the end of it, you feel cheated. I wont recommend this book to anyone. Huge disappointment. ( )

Very interesting and well researched story, despite a tilt at religion that comes across as more unsophisticated than it should, be given the presumed high intelligence of the protagonists at the time. ( )

"What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome." -Friedrich Nietzsche, Philosopher (1844-1900)
