Our view
A young gamer sets out to stop a rogue hacker in “The Eye of Minds”, a science-fiction adventure whose final twist readers single out. It opens the “Mortality Doctrine” trilogy. Some find the road to that ending simple, one episode after another with little explanation, and too reminiscent of well-known films; they also notice loose ends that the next volume may be meant to tie up.
