Kyle Pemberton, a Wall Street computer whiz, takes on an overseas assignment after the untimely death of his good friend and predecessor on a critical IT project at his firm. In his new role, he shadows a dubious consultant through cyberspace and stumbles upon a clandestine computer network called the Control Grid. In his quest to investigate, Kyle enlists the help of his trusted colleagues. Together, they launch an incursion into the labyrinth of computer networks and communication lines. Unfortunately, they spark the attention of the Cyberjihad, a terrorist organization plotting to infiltrate this fabric of connections and circuitry to destabilize the world's security and economy. The terrorists scramble to use the Control Grid to eliminate Kyle and his cyber-compatriots, hastening an international crisis. Pemberton ultimately finds himself faced with the colossal task of short-circuiting global terrorism.

I Sure Hope Terrorists Don't Read This book!,
By
This review is from: Cyberjihad (Paperback)
Terrorists find new ways to attack America, that may not be to far from reality! Cyberjihad is a faced-paced, action-packed and well written book that sends chills down the spine in a post 9-11-01 world. The technical details are on par with Clancy novel. Definetly a recommendation for library discussion groups and anyone who enjoys reading great books.

In This Age of Technology,
By J R Turek (East Meadow, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyberjihad (Paperback)
Cyberjihad, by Robert Lanzone, is a thrilling novel linking computer communications, terrorists, and the security of our world. Lanzone uses terminology that is specific yet accessible to any reader, regardless of computer experience. At the opening of each chapter, he uses a timeline that creates a strong, compelling and suspenseful need to read on! I really enjoyed this book and recommend it highly!

Technology Based Terrorists - Can This Really Happen?,
By Hallie Stewart "Hallie Stewart" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyberjihad (Paperback)
Simply from the title you can easily imagine what Cyberjihad is all about. But the depth of author Robert Lanzone's imaginations is what makes this a compellling read.
Picture a Muslim extremeist terrorist cell, living the US and plotting to take over the computer network of the largest financial institutions. Not far fetched at all, right? Now add to the equation a computer technician who stumbles upon some funny buisiness while suspecting a devious coworker. One thing to another and this young computer techie is in way over his head, trying to uncover just how massive this 'Cyberjihad' really is. This book has some similarities to the Matthew Broderick movie, War Games from the 1980's. But it clearly holds you captive to the very last chapter.
