[Thomas Stroemquist · Rating 3 out of 5]

Truth be told, I don't remember the finer details of this book. I do remember that I checked it out of the library for a second reading though, liked the straight forward and formulaic plot (but with an amazing twist: Data hacking - not even a term then - and data theft, in 1974!). However, I also remember thinking, even then, that it hadn't aged well - and I can only imagine how one would feel about it now.

The storytelling haven't aged well either - reminiscent of Alistair MacLean's 70's, the heroes are male, hard, strong and misogynic - the women are beautiful, wide-hipped and in need of saving.

A fast read. Highly enjoyable.
