I first became aware of Locked In Syndrome (LIS) through Jean-Dominique Bauby's memoir ,The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.  I can't imagine anything more horrible than to have a fully functioning mind imprisoned in a paralyzed body with no way to communicate.Michael Wallace has constructed a storyline in his series, Devil's Deep , that takes the terror and helplessness to another level.  As soon as I finished reading The Devil's Deep which is the first book in the series, I immediately followed it withThe Devil's Peak (Devil's Deep).What could be more terrifying than LIS?  It's being a victim of LIS and being at the mercy of sadistic individuals who want to make sure that others never realize that one is trying to communicate.I have read a few other thrillers by Michael Wallace and really like the fact that he can sustain suspense in very different story lines.  His premise in this series takes a very real physical terror and combines it with evil plotting to provide a very good reading experience.
