A tense thriller that I enjoyed from start to finish. Two people on the run, they can trust no one, including (especially) the US government. Murder, a top secret project that threatens the world, a touch of scifi, and even some romance. If you like 24, the TV show, you'll like this book.

An interesting plot that supposes we might be able copy a human psyche into a computer with quantum capabilities thus given the "person" god-like powers. Of course, whose psyche would you want to give that much power? It should make you ponder where all our technology is headed in the future. Enough suspense to keep things moving though there is little doubt as to who the bad guys are and who will save the world. I'd recommend it and as a New York Times Bestseller, a good many others would agree.

Heart stopper from start to finish. It's a good thing it's fiction.

Greg Iles writes an intense tale, and The Footprints of God is as tightly wound as any. It is a "techno-thriller" that snares your interest and won't let you go until you've finished reading. You have to find out whether or not Mankind is obliterated. You're never quite sure... until the end.

I just have to say WOW!! This is my type of novel - it educates while it entertains. Quite ambitious in its scope & greatly satisfying in its execution. It not only keeps the reader enthralled, it forces the reader to keep reading. Highly addictive and hard to put down.
When I read a novel of this type, it always amazes me how the author can come up with such an awesome, realistic story.
Most readers will be happy they chose this novel to read!

This is really a book that is different. It makes you think.
It mixes computers, murder, & religion. It keeps you turning the pages & trying to figure out how it can have a "they lived happily ever after" ending.

From back of book, "In a secret government lab, America's top scientists work on Trinity, a supercomputer that could surpass the power of the human mind!
What ensues is murder and betrayal between all scientists involved as a mad power grab for control of Trinity. Great fast action!

Hard to put down -- fascinating and frightening.
Great book! Quick read. Engaging plot. Interesting take on next generation computing and possible ramifications.
A definite thought provoking plot
I really liked this book and it was hard to put down, just a little let down at the end.
Both plot and characters drive this story. Programmers have been working to develop Artificial Intelligence for years -- the Terminator, Data from Startrek Next Generation, HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, War Games, and many other stories are based on AI. Is a thinking, reasoning computer plausible?
Greg Iles says 'Yes.' His technical writing will satisfy techno-junkies (such as I), yet not leave the novice confused. Each person that has a deep profile compiled has side effects, and Dr. David Tennant's narcoleptic dreams about an apocalyptic power are too real to be ignored. However, it is only his out-of-character activities that save his life and the woman he has grown to love.

Good, fast summer read.
Good book kept-me thinking.
Almost great. Globe Trotting. Techno. Absolutely a better writer than Dan Brown. Well worth the read. It moves quick.
Great book.
A cutting edge thriller in which the next phase of human evolution may not be human at all.
This was a very interesting read. It only took me 2 days because it kept my attention. It is also kind of scary to think that it might or already has happened...
In a secretg government lab, top scients work on supercomputer... limmitless science and ruthless ambition.
Iles is a great writer who keeps you turning the pages and wanting to peek ahead.
This book was a fast paced thriller that kept me wanting to read just one more page. I found the characters to be developed well and the plot kept twisting and turning.
This was an exceptionally well written book about a very scary subject. Not that I am a Luddite, but artificial intelligence if ever developed cold be the worst invention by man.
ANYTHING by Greg Iles is Awesome but haven't finished this one yet
Good thriller about a group developing the ultimate computer 'brain'. Follows the Doctor who is the conscience/ethics person on the project after another scientist in the group dies. Fast moving, and makes you think.
Very interesting!
In a secret government lab, America's top scientist work on Trinity ~ a supercomputer that could ssurpass the power of the human mind. Very interesting!
Fast paced thriller, interesting and intriguing. An excellent read.
trinity;a super computer that surpases the human mind; keeps you on the edge of your seat as you search for the outcome of who will be left alive. great reading
In a secret government lab, America's top scientists work on Trinity - a supercomputer that could surpass the power of the human mind. As the project's ethicist, Dr. David Tennant works in a formestorm of limitless science and ruthless ambition. After a fellow scientist is murdered, David uncovers who the killer is. Desperate, he turns to Rachel Weiss, the psychiatrist probing the nightmares that have plagued him since joining the project, and both are forced to flee for their lives.
I always enjoy Greg Iles' books, but this one is more "science fiction" than most.
almost record reading ...could not put it down
This was a good, fast moving thriller. I liked how David and Rachel worked together to stop Project Trinity.
If you like Dan Brown, you'll love this one! I read the review in the front by Dan Brown and had to buy it. I was not disappointed. Before reading this one, Angels and Demons was my favorite...Footprints of God ranks right up there with it.
i agree with the other person it was a little dragged out but boy was this a good read
Cutting edge thriller in which the next phase of human evolution may not be human at all...
A great edge of your seat kind of thriller.
Science fiction thriller about artificial intelligence. Quite a new approach. Its a long novel but only slow at times.
the suspense never fades
Very interesting premise!!!!!
My favorite author. i LOVE ALL OF HIS WORK. This book centers around a supercomputer that could take over the world...
Fascinating. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting.
a great book with a surprising conclusion!!
What if you could separate your conscious mind from your body? What if after your body died, you could continue to live on inside a computer? This is the premise of Mr. Iles's (who happens to live in my old hometown of Natchez, MS) novel, a techno-thriller. It was good, but it was really the last 100 pages that really kept me up at night. Mr. Iles does have great openings to his books, making you want to dive into his stories.
Lovely imaginative read for any computer geeks and lovers of mystery novels. He asks some important questions to ponder and leaves us with crossed fingers hoping our fears don't come true.
Good enough book/author I have requested a send on another of his books.
Fairly good sci-fi premise. Well written. Suspenseful.
Very good, hard to put down. Very entertaining.
It is called Trinity--It is an intelligence beyond comprehension--A miracle beyond all science--And a nightmare beyond humanity's worst fears--- A great author.
Story is great and believable.
No Box!? Who cares! This was one of Iles best! Very powerful!
A good read.
