Synopsis
First published in 1976, "The Mind-Riders" features a remarkable anticipation of virtual reality gaming, in which the revised sport of boxing pits physically identical virtual fighters against one another, operated by electronically-connected "handlers" -- with viewers receiving transmissions of the combatants' emotions as their simulations slug it out. Ryan Hart, banished from the sport in its early days because of his lack of marketable emotion, is brought back by an obsessed media executive who wants to see the reigning champion beaten at any cost. Hart is not certain that he can win, after such a lapse of time, nor is he certain he can resist pressure to give the vast virtual crowds the dose of sadistic exultation they crave. But that doesn't stop him from heading into the virtual "ring" and fighting the bout of his life! Rousing science fiction adventure by a master of the genre.

Cover Art: Tony Roberts (illustrator). 1977 Edition. © 1976: A stand-alone novel by Brian Stableford. 1st printing of 1977 edition:- Synopsis: The best man always wins - the best handler, that is. The boxers slugging it out in the ring were just holographs, patterns of light, but to millions of Network viewers they were genuine flesh and blood. They looked real, and with a E-link between the handler controlling the sim and the viewer's mind you could actually feel them emotionally - their excitement, power, anger. Even their fear and crushing sense of defeat. After the fight, when the holos faded out and the handlers took off their headsets, the boxers ceased to exist. There were no scars to heal, except mental ones - and Network wasn't interested in things like that. But for years one handler had been tortured by painful memories of a previous fight - so much so, that when he came back to the ring for the last time he was fighting not just to win, but to regain honour and self-respect in a world he had ceased to believe in:- (original cost £0.65).
