A Sci-Fi, Thriller, Historical, Cultural Treat

This is the first time I've ever written a review for a book, but I felt that this one deserved it. I love all of the genres mentioned in my title, and usually read them separately, but this book combined them all. The science was accurate and not so "egghead" as to turn off some readers. Traveling to Russia and experiencing a bit of that culture and a bit of history thrown in was fascinating. And, there was just enough thrill to add spice, but not so much as to be gory. The characters were engaging and interesting and I read the book cover to cover over a weekend. I loved the story and am looking forward to Vladimir's next novel.

Thrilling adventure in the genre of Crichton

If you like Michael Crichton's earlier work you will enjoy this fast paced thriller. Mr. Lange does a superb job of weaving a scientific theme into a fictional adventure. Anne is an extremely accomplished scientist on the verge of completing her dream of developing a machine that can quickly and systematically erase points in the brain that cause psychotic episodes. Through her exposure to the operation of the machine she unleashes something unplanned...a past that she did not know she had. As the story unfolds you are drawn into two worlds, Russian in the 1430s and a parallel life set in the modern day. The suspense level and intrigue are thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to more of Mr. Lange's work.

WOW!

I couldn't put this book down. I was exhausted from a week long business trip and started reading this to unwind and relax. I spent the next two days reading every spare minute. I loved it, loved it, loved it. I am amazed by the plot, the characters and the setting. Dr. Lange nailed it and I can't wait to read his next book.

3 Stars because

It was kind of slow in spots:
I am still reading it but I thought that it lacked in certain areas for a first novel of telling how the MEG actually worked but I did think that there were areas that were truly scary and could be put to reality if attempted but I also digress on and in that area. I notice that in the real notes that the Author is a media whiz of sorts and I'd like to know how to get ahold of him.

Mystery/History/Romantic/Food and Flavor Tour of Russia

Vladimir Lange's first novel, Fatal Memories was a fast read full of fascinating characters, science, intrigue, romance, politics and history! I found it difficult to put down as each new past life experience intruded upon the present. The medical technologies of the MEG (a machine that locates and carves out debilitating memories), the biological experimentation with the DNA/cell memory of mice, as well as the psychological background of each character were spellbinding. I think Carl Jung and Edgar Cayce would have been 100 percent behind the MEG as a tool to heal past psychological wounds in order to live the best present life possible.

After reading Fatal Memories I felt I had been on a `Mystery/History/Romantic/Food and Flavor Tour of Russia' with all of its color and beauty. For anyone interested in biology, medical science, Russian History, mystery and romance, Fatal Memories is a great read.
