It’s like nothing anyone has ever seen before. Utopia is the
brand-new frontier of theme parks, a fantastic collection of Worlds
each so authentic it takes the average visitor’s breath away.
Teeming with cutting-edge holographic and robotic technology, it
has captured the nation’s imagination. But it has also attracted a
group of ruthless criminals. After infiltrating the park and its
computer systems, their leader—calling himself John Doe—sets the
parameters: If their shocking demands are met, none of the visitors
to the park that day will be harmed; if not, then all hell will
rain down. Dr. Andrew Warne, the brilliant engineer who designed
much of the park’s robotics, suddenly finds himself in a role he
never imagined—trying to save the lives of thousands of innocent
people . . . one of whom just happens to be his daughter.
