Virus

by A.M. Khalifa

Herbert is about to kill for the first time in his life. In a holy war, foot soldiers need not know the master plan. It’s enough that each believes in what they are fighting for and leave the tough moral questions to those who lead them. This is the virus.

Virus

I found this short story interesting, how can you be sure even with training and commitment that you have a killer.

An odd book

Definitely an odd book, far from hard sci-fi. There are too many gaps in the programming and logic. It's a lot like Hollywood where the writers don't understand the first thing about computers and technology. Still, if you can get past that it's a fun short read. I still prefer the author's crime fiction. I think he should stay away from sci-fi or at research it properly before writing.
