I received a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway.

I made it about 15% of the way through this before I deleted it from my Kindle in disgust because I absolutely abhorred the main character. I suppose maybe that's the point, but I don't enjoy reading books that don't allow me to connect with ANYTHING about the main character. Had he been willing to admit any fault in anything at all I might have been able to find some redeeming value, but there was absolutely nothing about this that I enjoyed.

When his dot.com business fails as well as his marriage, he receives a strange proposition from a strange. He is face with a moral dilemma if an act of terrorism justifies having enough money to support his wife and children.

A gripping read as how things can go out of control so quickly.

Interesting for techies. A lot of what's going on in the headlines today. Slow moving book. Not very much action.

Going on. Not my genre of book. But current in the subject of the book. Terrorists, bombs, campus recruiters, computer programming, and worms.
