Great technothriller with a really likeable cast, I love these books!
The integration of several sub-plots, the detailed portrait painted of the primary character, the ins and outs of planning the destruction of a corporation, and the final surprise ending, very much an "out of the box" solution for an impossible situation, gave me great satisfaction, to the point that this author joins Robin Cook, Dick Francis, and Michael Creichton as a trusted provider of light entertainment.

I just couldn't get into this one. So I guess I don't have much to say!
Sarah T. from SAINT JOSEPH, MO wrote on 5/16/2006...A very interesting and well-written book about computer crime. The two main characters, Kidd and Luellen, are apparently in another book of Sandford's which I haven't yet read. The story is fast-paced and an easy, enjoyable read.
