Summary: Be willing to suspend your disbelief...a little
Review: A difficult book to get started, it clearly improves as it goes along. As I read the book, I had to keep reminding myself that the author is a real life security expert. Hmmmm... Just how much is really possible? If you really want to read something scary, read Nobody's Safe by the same author. Speculate on how poor your security is, I did.

Summary: Richard Steinberg, each book better than the last!
Review: Excellent book. Started it on a Friday nite and finished early Saturday morning. Kept me glued to my seat. I have been looking for an author who keeps me interested like the early Robert Ludlum books (The Bourne Series) and I have found him. This is the 3rd book by Steinberg, and I would recommend all 3.Other great reads; Gemini Man & Nobody's Safe by Richard Steinberg and Domain by Steven Alten

Summary: Great thriller -- highly recommended
Review: This was a very good book for its genre (political/techno thriller). The writing was very good, and particular the character development was outstanding. The plot is essentially a variation of the Manchurian Candidate, but updated for the modern times. In light of all the coverage on the connection between Clinton and the Chinese, and the theft of national security data by the Chinese, the plot is timely. The only reason why the book is not a 5 star is that the motivation of Xenos (the protagonist) is a bit weak. I didn't understand why he was so compelled to try to save Alvarez. Aside from this one small flaw in the plot, the book was great.
