In the year 2010, computers are the new superpower. Those who control them control the world. To enforce the New Laws, Congress creates the ultimate computer security agency with the FBI: the Net Force.

Instructions on how to make a bomb...a list of every U.S. spy in the Euro-Asian theater...Someone with access to classified information is posting it on the Internet-and it's costing lives. Net Force Commander Alex Michaels is in the hot seat. Now, before a hostile Senate committee, he must justify the very existence of the Net Force.

Meanwhile, a virus is unleashed that throws the federal financial systems into chaos. And the Net Force operatives must hunt the wily hacker through the twists and turns of cyberspace-down a path that leads them dangerously close to home...

I was late for work, so I just grabbed the book that I had been reading off and on while sitting on the bus. When I ride my bike I have a more direct route to work, but this morning I went via the post box near the MillPoint Caffé Bookshop. Conscious that I was riding on the footpath, I walked my bike past the bookshop and round the corner to join the bike path.

On the bookshop window sill was this book. I enthusiastically put it in my bike basket thinking what a great find, as I was not looking forward to reading my current book. As it turns out, work was so busy today I didn't have time to read a book. But I'll look forward to reading and releasing at another time.

I skimmed this book because it was very easy to read, but also the plot and or theme was a little predictable. But if you like reading about the interactions between the internet and 'real life' in an espionage setting, then it is worth picking up.
