Project Reality #2
Malware
The world has changed, and Jack is its new ruler. Having delivered his firmware update to all those in possession of HF-Tech's chips, and tricked all the hacked and rooted ROM users into installing his reality-altering software bundle, nothing can stand in his way.
Almost.
Revived by Vix, his mind and memories restored from a backup, Dan sets out to find a way to infiltrate The Shard and pull the plug on Project Reality before the few surviving nations of the world choose to stop Jack by taking the extreme step of starting World War 3.
Things are, however, not quite as straight forward as they seem, and Dan soon discovers that there is a far greater foe lurking just beneath the surface ...

I'd rate this book as a 3.5/5
Whilst the first book was more about hacking and a little less far-fetched, this book is what happens after the hacking and when things have all gone wrong. Much of this story happens in cyberspace and it has a number of similarities to the Matrix in that respect.
This isn't a bad book by any means but it doesn't live up to the first book. A little far fetched and with a few plot holes (not to mention a very convenient and rosy ending) it lacks the believability of the first instalment.
Read it to find out how the story ends, but it won't make much sense without the first book to fill in the back story.

The second book, the first being Firmware. Firmware ending on a sad note, and yet had the glimmer of hope that some people were eagle eyed to spot - and Malware takes it on from that note and finishes the story.
A great British cyberpunk romp

In my opinion this and Firmware alone are really novellas. But if you read them together you get a decent length novel that is an enjoyable read.

Not as good as the (excellent) first book but still a good yarn
