The Forgotten Room by Lincoln Child
Jeremy
Logan is called in to Lux, a famous think tank in Newport, Rhode Island to investigate
the goings on at the venerable institution.
One prominent thinker went suddenly mad and others are claiming to have
experienced unusual compulsions and visions as well. Logan is an enigmalogist; he searches for
explanations for the unexplained. (In
fact he’s called from Scotland to go to RI where he was looking for evidence of
the Loch Ness Monster.) Upon arrival at
Lux Logan experiences some strange events of his own and the discovery of a
secret room with a mysterious machine seems to be at the heart of it all.
What I
enjoyed most about the book is what at first seems like a paranormal problem becomes
something more mundane yet even more frightening. The made up science of the book seems
plausible. I just hope it is not!
A fun
science-y thriller fans of the late Michael Crichton should enjoy.
