The Silk Worm

by Jedesign Publications Otherworld Publications, Otherworld Publications (Editor)

CIA agent, Richard Gibson, is sent to Hong Kong where he is to meet with a known informant to assess the possibility that a major assault of cyber terrorism, the next terrorism, is about to be unleashed on the free world by brilliant Chinese graduate student, Lee Yong, in an attempt to remove the evil influence of western values imposed upon his country by the capitalist countries of the world. Richard assembles a team of America's top computer experts to try and thwart the attack. Within days of Richard's team starting to work out possible scenarios, the first attack of the Silk Worm hits an airport control tower in northern Taiwan, which results in the crash of two airliners and the death of over three hundred and fifty passengers. The American Ambassador in China is instructed by the President of the United States to lobby the Chinese government in an attempt to allow this team to setup shop in Hong Kong to lead and work with Chinese agents in an effort to kill the attacking computer program and capture its creator. Richard and his group of field agents hit the streets of Hong Kong with telemetry coordinates in hand to search for the physical locations of the ones responsible for the attack and soon discover that they are the ones being hunted.

Gripping. I enjoyed it.

I like this series, I am cheating a bit by listening to the audio books and I really enjoy the readers voice so I am a bit partial.

However, since finishing this book I have been having some withdraws. So I hope that tells you something.

This is an interesting series for me as ut digs deeper than the police do. I wouldn't be surprised if the way police do work on cases were just as they are described in these books; A way to get noticed or how to sweep something under the rug.

Like other authors some details can be spared. I feel like some authors have goal of how many words they want in a book so get a bit elaborate with details that aren't necessary.
