Three novels complete in one volume: Mindkiller: Wireheads, addicted to an electric current fed into the pleasure centers of the brain, are the new junkies. Karen, a former wirehead who barely escaped death by pleasure, is determined to bring down those who sell the wireheading equipment, but she and her lover Joe instead turn up evidence of a shadowy global conspiracy--not to control the world, but to keep anyone from realizing that the masters of mind control have been controlling us all for some time now . . . . Time Pressure: When a beautiful girl appeared in a globe of blue light in a snowbound forest and said she had come back in time, Sam thought it was the most wonderful thing that could possibly happen. But then he began to notice sinister things about her, and thought he would have to kill her to save the present. Except that there was a third possibility, and that really was the most wonderful thing that could possibly happen . . . Lifehouse: June Bellamy had gone for a walk in a park--and came back with memories missing. She didn't know that, but her partner could tell because she'd told her answering machine about strange people in the park. Now June and Paul are on the run from insidious superhumans who can edit their memories and track them down no matter where or how well they hide. They are desperate--but not nearly as desperate as their pursuers . . . Three suspenseful stories of people in incredible and desperate situations, all of them unknowingly involved in a secret that could mean the salvation of all humans who were alive, who would ever live, or who ever had lived . . .   … (more)

I read these, and they held my interest, but I had a critical voice sniggering in the back of my head the entire time. The world would be a better place if we'd all just be cool, man. I'm not saying this is wrong, but it stuck me as childish and a bit dated. ( )
