Hacker School Trilogy: Training Human Rights Hacktivists

by Allan R. Wallace

The one with the rifle appears to be the leader. “You folks look well dressed; this will be a good week. Don’t any of you men shoot anyone. You know why we want the girls whole. We may have to use some fire to get that big guy to tell us where he hides his gold, but we want him alive to talk.” Jake starts to step forward, and the brute king shouts at him. “Don’t move unless I tell you to, or we’ll blast your legs, you won’t need them again anyway. You girls come from behind him. Nice. After me and the men are done with you maybe we’ll give you to the boy. Walk up to me nice and slow, I want to enjoy this.” Jane and I don’t need to look at each other; there is no way we can delay until backup arrives. I hope Bill can get one for us, he may not know Jane, but he knows what I’m about to do. We walk forward slowly. “Leave my sister alone,” I say drawing his attention “I’m the one you want.”

This is one of the free books on Kindle that is actually worth some real money! My favorite thing about the book is the post-apocalyptic world the author paints... a world where most books have been lost due to converting all books to electronic form... sound familiar? In this world, once a certain book had come out all a powerful person has to do is press a button and the book is deleted... permanently.

I liked the characters and the main plot - reclaiming the lost knowledge by hacking - I'm looking forward to more!

I dl'd it because it was free and I am always interested to see how technology is portrayed in fiction. I gave it 3 stars but I think I would give it 4 if there was a little more filled in. However, I enjoyed the seeds of what was put out there. I see that it is a prequel to a trilogy so I might have to check that out for more story and details. Overall, I found it pretty interesting and I kept wanting to know what would happen next.

I think to really enjoy this book you must have to read the others in the series. I think it was meant to be a prequel, but there was quite a bit that was confusing and not explained at all. I can't recommend it if you haven't read the others.

This started out pretty good with a girl in learning how to defend herself in juvenile detention. Then it got weird and all sci-fi. It lost me going way over my head. I had no desire to finish it, but if you are into sci-fi, you may find this book enjoyable.

It was good, but kind of short, but it was to the point, and I really liked it!!!!!!!!!!!!
