Walter Jon Williams regularly draws praise for pushing the limits of the science fiction genre. His third novel featuring AR (augmented reality) games designer Dagmar Shaw, The Fourth Wall follows Sean, a washed-up child actor recruited to star in Dagmar's latest movie project. But when people on set start dying, Sean wonders if Dagmar's secretive behavior is hiding a more dangerous game. "Williams and Dagmar fans will rejoice, and it should attract the near-futurists and techno-thriller crowd as well."-Kirkus Reviews

"The story kept me reading all the way through, but it was not that satisfying in the end. It was interesting to see what Dagmar Shaw is up to. I imagine in the next book we'll see how what she's doing in this book goes horribly wrong." — Daviddavidscrimshaw.com (4 out of 5 stars)

" A great addition to the series. New characters, new perspectives, new puzzles, and new insights. "
" Another enjoyable page turner. I had real trouble putting this one down as witnessed by the fact I blew through nearly 400 pages in 3 days. "
" Dull - too much Hollywood chit-chat and not enough SF. Plus the ending was a bit lame. "
" Fantastic. Great blend of genres. Could not put it down. "
" 3.6 stars. This one was OK, in parts excellent -- but WJW is too good a writer to do tech-thrillers. I hope he goes back to writing SF next time. Maybe these pay the rent. "
" The character of Sean and his world of fading child stardom is alien yet feels very authentic. "
" I will keep reading this series. I was excited to see a new book in it, and was not disappointed. On the other hand, it still doesn't have the same flair as the first book. "
" I found it too predictable on the main plot, but the side one was good. If there ever is a fourth book in the "Dagmar Shaw"-series I'll probably not read it... "
" I enjoyed this third installment of the "Dagmar" ARG series by Williams but this book felt a little flat compared to the first two, which were both incredible reads. "
