Customer Reviews

A fascinating high-tech novel.

I really enjoyed this book. It has everything going for it including interesting characters, good plot twists and lots of high-tech goodies. One of the better sci-fi books I have read. I highly recommend it and hope that there will be a sequel.

A Masterfully Woven Futuristic Tale!

Influenced by his love of technology and his passion for politics and controversial discourse, Paultre presents the reader with a masterfully woven futuristic tale. Just as debates of the benefits of embryonic stem cell research are weighed against ethical and moral dilemmas at the current time, Paultre extends such concerns to a futuristic setting where advanced technology presents society with even more intriguing dilemmas. Where and when does technology and medical progress cross the line? Paultre coaxes his readers to investigate the possibilities. All that, and a love story too!

futuristic thriller...or the world we live in?

Cyberchild is a novel that makes you question the world we now live in, leading one's perception beyond the fictional plot set in a not so far future. The book consumes the the reader and gives insight into possible future technology and the ethical decisions this will force upon mankind. The characters give the social and ethical movements in society a face and force empathy upon the reader. Being the daughter of the author, it almost scares me to have a so vivid an insight into my father`s imagination influenced by his knowledge of technology, which makes the plot of the novel seem even more probable. By the way, I did the cover art ;) So buy the book...

Great Summer Read

Book expertly melds some of today's hot button issues (animal activism and ethnic homelands) into a very believable future world where a visionary (?) wants to supplement humans with a computer built in their brain. The book makes you think about moral and ethical dilemmas (when is violence necessary, when does computerization cross the line) while reading like a Robert Ludlum thriller. Great characters and be prepared for the exciting climax. Get it before the future is here.

Wow! Excellent read.

I really enjoyed reading Paultre's first novel and was impressed by his ability to develop characters that are real and at the same time take us to a world of the future with cars that drive themselves, bio-engineered weapons and more. Finally, I love the Eastern European setting. Great stuff!
