The unimportant people in the company, a security guard and a construction worker shape the future of the corporation. They are the key to planting illegal listening devices that probe boardroom conversations.

Executives who read this book will (with justification) worry. This story -- about how a competitor can plant bugs in the executive suite -- is a good one. I especially enjoyed the realism that the author gives to the business of remaining invisible, while doing technical work in the president's office.

A good book for geeks, execs or counterspies.

I purchased this book for a book I am writing about security and surveillance. It is an interesting book. The author is fairly well known in this clandestine business.

The book looks like it is self published. Without a lot of press backing. The book is written in a cold style and is not
a novel but is supposed to be based upon a true story. I searched the Web and did not find the company Axnan in the NYSE or even on the web. So I suspect that Axnan isn't a real company.

The names of the characters are Tom, Dick and Harry so that too iindicates this book is a "theoretical" book that cannot be checked.

The story is interesting in that it provides insight into how surveillance is conducted. It even admits that the work was done illegally.

If you are interested in Corporate Surveillance I recommend this book since there is very little authentic material out there. The current polictical environment being more concerned about less sophisticated criminals.

My book: Protecting Your Assets: The Facility Manager's Guide to Physical Security will be completed in a couple of months and should be published early next year by Fairmont Press.

Enjoy this book and use the information if you are concerned about Corporate Surveillance.

And I hope to meet Glen Whidden one of these days.
