Brain Prosthetics.
Need to answer a phone? Look over at the white circle that pops up in your virtual viewing pane and choose to answer or ignore the ringtone that only you can hear in your head. Dr. Hagan is the neurosurgeon to some powerful people - including the family of the richest person on earth. Dr. Hagan can do what once was thought impossible, heal the brain - and when your last name is Devron and your son needs something - it gets done.
As a hobby, Hagan dabble in artificial intelligence. Well, dabble might not be a strong enough word. If a hobby causes you to constantly have your job threatened, have your wife walk out on you, and almost kill billions of people - it might just qualify for obsession status.
The trouble with super advanced prosthetics implanted in someones head is that when things go a little wacky - it isn't an easy fix. And when the prosthetic is like a primordial swamp that can give "birth" to new virtual life forms - that's not good. And you might get an idea of the character of this new "life form" by the user name it chooses for itself - RedDevil_4.
It is up to the odd couple team of cops to find the connection in murders popping up all over the city and put an end to it. Krantz, an old curmudgeon of human, still is using outdated prosthetics in his head. You know the type - still has his Beta and VHS VCR's so he can play his whole library of tapes that he finds in future antique stores. Krantz is old school, solve a cases by hard work and gut feelings. Tara is the former military, super-hot, super-cop partner that can't stand working with someone whose brain implant means she has to wait a whole 3 seconds to download an encyclopedia into Krantz's head.
When these three are forced to team up, they will need everything they have - and somethings that they don't quite have yet - to stop RedDevil_4 from wiping out everyone with an implant. That means only the lost villages in Brazil and some pygmy tribes in Africa are left. So whatever this team needs to do, including getting past robotic driveway gravel (I know, doesn't sound menacing - but you are sooooo wrong.....) must get done.
------------------------
Red Devil 4 is a fast paced thriller with well developed characters and almost constant action. The story had more than a few twists and turns that kept me guessing just enough to keep my interest. If you are a fan of medical science fiction - this needs to be on your brain implant e-reader!
