“Toys” is not the usual novel Patterson fans are used to reading. It is a science fiction novel in which humans are the target of extinction from man made beings that are out of control. The subject is reminiscent of “Logan’s Run” and other science fiction novels that show what happens when technology is out of control. The problem with this one though, is there is too much confusion. It is a great subject but it is not handled very well. “Toys” is a very disappointing science fiction novel.
