Omaha
Jack realizes that things have taken a serious turn for the worse. He knows he needs to be very careful and very ruthless. He's lost a lot of troops in the past few days to a bunch of computer geeks living above a dance club in Omaha. This is not good for business. Jack is a drug lord. From St. Louis, he rules a vast inland empire of drugs, prostitution, smuggling, gambling, loan sharking and just about every other known vice. No one messes with Jack. His fuse is short and his reach is long. So Jack calls a couple of feral psychopaths who do odd jobs, generally leaving a wake of corpses. He knows they'll handle this job the right way, no slip ups, no witnesses, and not too squeamish about collateral damage. This time, Jack wants a lot of damage. This time, he wants to annihilate the geeks.But Jack's a little of of touch with the realities of the modern, computer controlled world. He never really understood whom he was up against and he never knew what hit him.

I honestly didn't know what to expect from this book, as the cover wasn't a true reflection of the story that lay within but within 1 page I was hooked.
This was a really interesting story as it wasn't like anything I had read before. I came to really care for the main characters as they plot to fight and bring down the key drug lord in St Louis. The fact they were nearly always one step ahead was great as we got to learn about every form of surveillance known to man and maybe more besides! I didn't understand all the tech talk all the time but what I didn't understand was explained really well for the less savvy among us like Mike (and myself!)
I really found myself wanting to live in one of the apartments above the club as it was described so well and it was incredibly appealing with the huge technologically advanced entertainment system and picture window overlooking Omaha.
I loved the incredible, painstaking attention to detail that Kevin O'Kane went into to bring us this compelling book and the natural, easy banter between the main players was entertaining. All the twists and turns really made me want to keep reading all day!
I would recommend this book to anyone,full marks from me.
