I love this one! I could read it over and over again. Suspense and mystery. Two twin brother a good and bad. The story unwraps quick and keeps readers on there toes. They call it The Academy. Housed in a secluded, cliff-top mansion overlooking the rugged and picturesque Pacific coast, it is a school for special children. Children gifted—or cursed—with extraordinary minds. Children soon to come under the influence of an intelligence even more brilliant than their own—and unspeakably evil. For within this mind a dark, ingenious plan is taking form. A hellish experiment meant to probe the ultimate limits of the human brain. Computer whiz kid Adam Aldrich lives for his exploration of virtual reality. Lured ever deeper into his video fantasy world, he does not imagine that his reality will soon become a living nightmare. Until the moment he sees the blinding light. Adam's fate will be called a tragic midnight accident. But is it something far worse? Amy Carlson, serious and shy, is fascinated by human behavior. But when she volunteers for an experiment in choice making, she unknowingly narrows her own options. When Amy's fate is sealed, will it be suicide—or murder? For Josh MacCallum, brilliant but lonely, Amy's cry for help leads to a frightening knowledge. Soon Josh will suspect that Amy's desperate plea comes from the depths of darkness, from a blackness so horrifying that not even he with his genius-lever IQ could envision it. Soon Josh will uncover the terrifying truth about The Academy. And he will come to understand that no one will believe him. Not unless he can pit his young mind against an intellect so powerful, so evil, so cunning, that nothing can resists its seductive invitation—into the shadows...Read full review

If you like science fiction, this is a book for you. Read it when I was a kid and wanted to see it again.

I liked that it was a mystery,a sort of whodunit book. It's the type of book I would reread again. Although John Saul tends to write his sentences that were confusing to me,I'm really not sure I understood the plot. That's why I would have to reread for another time. But the character's personalitys came through,you knew about them.
This book is dark. Its a wild ride that gives you goosebumps throughout the story. It made me fear computers for a while...its a great read and I highly recommend it!
