CYBERSONA by Fred Yager
HEARTLAND REVIEWS: "...Awakening in the hospital as a quadriplegic, Garland Daniels uses a voice-activated computer interface to live out his dreams of revenge in a web-based virtual reality game. Much to his delight, he is able to reprogram the game to allow him to enter the body of another player, a recently laid off high school teacher. The displaced teacher manages to find a body for himself in a ten-year-old boy. Once this stage is set, it is a race to exact revenge and justice all around, with quite a surprise ending.
The pace of this novel is frenetic. As fast as the story develops, it still allows the reader to reflect on the aspects of revenge and justice tempered by forgiveness and compassion…."
