Book Description

February 16, 2004
Bill Blazer is a hard-charging young guy with a quick head and a suspicious mind. He drops out of U.C.L.A. to develop his novel idea for a high-speed, supercomputer. With cunning, guile and little else, he puts together a start-up company. His competitors and a large Japanese conglomerate are snapping at his heels. He needs money to keep his company going. In a deal with the devil, he accepts financing from a New York banker who he believes is now double-crossing him.

His girlfriend Jennie Silvers tells him he is paranoid, but he is convinced everyone is trying to steal his technology. He soon catches one of his employees red-handed. Federal agents move in. Then the whole thing takes an unexpected turn that even Bill Blazer's distrustful mind could not have anticipated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced, informative, entertaining thriller, November 19, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Black Market Flag: A novel about international industrial espionage (Paperback)
Great, tight book that exposes the ugly underbelly of Silicon Valley. It read quickly, like a good Grisham or Clancy novel and the main character, Bill Blaze, is delightfully pompous. I learned about the high-tech industry and Japanes customs. Check this one out!
