Description: If you liked Disney's spectacular science-fiction film "Tron" than you will like this novel. Brian Daley proved his talent at writing about existing worlds created by other artists when he wrote his "Han Solo" trilogy sanctioned by George Lucas and following the success of Star Wars in 1977. Brian Daley does it again, creating a unique world and society that exists inside a computer complete with classic religious overtones. If any novelization of a movie could stand alone, this would be it! This novel is exciting, original and adds to one's enjoyment on the movie instead of simply retelling it. This is a novel for any lover of the movie or for anyone who is simply interested in exploring a new world.

Review Summary: Not Free SF Reader
Date: 2007-09-03
Details: A so-so book about a computer geek guy that ends up sucked into his own computer world. He ends up getting to play some pretty cool computer games for real, though, even if the stakes are really a little on the high side for your average game geek's fancy.
You won't just be losing your twenty cent piece to the Galaga machine here.
Review Summary: This is the book that got me to read...

Details: In high school, I read only comic books and short stories. I absolutely hated novels. While this story is relatively short, it is a very interesting and well written adaption of the movie. After I read this book, I went on the the Han Solo trilogy Mr. Daley wrote and then anything else he wrote. If you want a taste of Mr. Daley's writing style without having to work through a long book, find a copy of this one.
Review Summary: As good as the movie!
