The Homeland Connection #3
Web Games
"The First Law of Cyber-Terrorism: Anything that can be turned on under program control can be turned off; anything that can be controlled remotely can be thrown out of control remotely." Destiny Allen doesn't even like on-line games. A Web designer for computer security giant Scenaria Systems, she finds herself involved in a deadly puzzle that blurs the boundaries between the virtual and the real. At stake: the infrastructure of modern America. Her resources: Dina Gustafson, a college friend, and Karl Lustig, an Israeli technology journalist with friends in dark places. The challenge: sort the good guys from the bad before the lights go out. Intricately plotted at a breathless pace, this technology thriller from novelist Lior Samson (author of Bashert and The Dome) is about real risks and virtual worlds, about Internet threats as close as tomorrow's nightly news, and about the ever-escalating warfare between black-hat hackers and modern society.

When cyber-terrorist hackers manage to imbed their codes into the very security system designed to protect users, the world is at risk. From Israeli spies to American gamers, nerds unite to stop the threat.
A fascinating fast-paced and intelligent action thriller, this book will keep you turning pages to the end. It is jam-packed with tons of technology, but even if you are barely able to turn on a computer, you can’t help but become involved in the intrigue.
This is the second novel I’ve read by Lior Samson, and he has used some of the same characters, but this story stands alone. He’s an expert at weaving an intricate plot and creating interesting and believable individuals. Every detail is well-researched and it’s obvious he knows what he’s talking about. Outstanding!

geeky suspense
Fast moving, technical at times (but explained in layman's terms often for other non-nerd characters), this story is suspenseful, mysterious and imaginative.
