Deadly Perversions
By Brett Arquette  

    In this age of the high speed Internet, a company called Talon has created a very sophisticated Cybersex software. Log on, wear your 3-D glasses and immerse yourself in decadence; be anyone you want to be. Cybersex is touted as the only true safe sex, but be careful. Suddenly there is a strange malady striking people down, and it kills so quickly that some are still smiling when they go!

     This first novel by Brett Arquette was edited by his famous mother, Lois Duncan. The chapters are like a series of short stories, but all with the theme of Talon's Cybersex software and RAIDS, the virus that is killing millions.

     Arquette is a master at characterization and imaginative in using cutting edge technology in his story. The story is partly sci-fi, partly medical mystery, and all dramatic, humorous and filled with action. I stayed up very late to read straight through to the shocking end.
