Z4CK

Summary: Excellent book for techies and non techies alike.
Review: This book has it all, great character development, excellent plot, several sub-plots....and just the right amount of technology to make it believable while not over-the-head of a non technical person.

You will find this a fast read, becuase the writing is fluid and really pulls you into the web of intrigue surrounding the main character.

One of the best fiction books I have read in years. Not hardcore Sci-fi (a good thing) but a solidly written facinating tale that opens your mind up to the possibilities of what one person with a wealth of experience and knowledge could do in today's technological society.

I'd say more, but that would spoil the many terrific surprises and twists that await you in this wonderfully written tome.

I cannot wait to read more great novels from this new and refreshing author !!

Summary: A real page turning thriller
Review: Z4Ck starts in the future, and through a flash-backs tells the story of a man who creates a magic bullet which allows him to circumvent security on the Internet. The book is realistic in the way the computer hacking is depicted, with wireless hacking, dumpster diving, and social engineering all included. Tools like Nmap and Nessus are mentioned. It's not however, too technical, so anyone with an interest in computers and the net can understand whats going on. It's a really easy read, that keeps you turning pages till the end. Thoroughly recommended.
