Ulterior Motives

Rating:
Summary: Never see a plot as thick. Ten-thumbs up if I have ten.
Review: Finally, here arrived a comtemporary high-tech/computer-industry/intelligence based futurist fiction. There are so many micro-plots and big plots. Each player has ambitions and weakness for money and power. Still want a job at MegaSoft to become a puppy?

Summary: This book was great!!
Review: I bought this book based on the Amazon reviews. I often wonder what other books people read before they read the one they reviewed. I thought this book was average at best, and at worst I had to struggle to keep interested. The plot was the same as ten other novels, the story was so over-explained as to be ridiculous (this could have been a 100 page novel and still got its point across). I will say that the action is well written, so I suspect that consequent novels will be better conceived/written. Its a quick read, but nothing will stick in your head past the last page.

Summary: The BEST I've read!! Great book, Danny.
Review: I was also e-mailed my Danny. Being a bit pessimistic about the way I was confronted, I decided to read about the book and read the reviews on "Ulterior Motive". Looked interesting enough so I decided to buy it. I'll tell you, I'm not sorry in the least as this is one of the best first novels I've ever read. Danny writes as though he's been writing for years. Had he not e-mailed me, I may never have heard about his book.

The story tells of an employee at Megasoft who enjoys his job and co-workers totally. He and his friend, Kenny, are banging heads in a positive way in their great working relationship and close friendship. You feel their closenessas much as you fear for them when they uncover what's fishy at Megasoft. The founder, JackM, is running for president with a faithful following by his employees. You trust him. You respect him. You fear him. You ache for Jon as his wonderful world slowly slips away from him.

Ulterior Motive is a must read. You'll be very disappointed if you don't because you're missing one hell of a read and one fast paced book.

Summary: Never see a plot as thick. Ten-thumbs up if I have ten.
Review: Loosely based on a certain software giant in Washington, this is a great, suspenseful read. While I very much enjoyed all of the intrigue of the politics, office hierarchy and sniping, what riveted me most was the insider's view of what it is like at a high-tech company such as Microsoft, sorry, Megasoft. As anyone who uses a computer knows, there is more information about us out there on the Internet than we would want anyone to know. The fact that it would be possible to be monitored by "Big Brother" is extremely scary, made even scarier by the fact that it is entirely possible. I read the book when it first came out and just re-read it this past weekend. It is definitely a keeper.
