Kate Donaldson is one of the CIA's finest operatives, a legend in the field of industrial espionage. But after taking the fall for a botched operation, she gives up on law enforcement, retiring to form a profitable high-tech company in Texas. Successful and in love with a software specialist, Kate is finally content - until her lover, the inventor of a computer algorithm designed to help solve Y2K-type problems, is seriously hurt by the same terrorist that ended her career. Enraged, Kate returns to the field to stop a madman willing to use whatever means necessary to cripple the world's information systems as the clock ticks down on the Y2K.

5.0 out of 5 stars
FANTASTIC,
This review is from: Y2k (Mass Market Paperback)
I grabed this book while having some EXTENSIVE layovers in Dallas airport. It was my second book by R.J. This one was even better then 01-01-00. I read the entire book while on my way back home and never even noticed the flight and time wasted in the airport. Thanks R.J. for making what chould have been a borring time great. The book took you from America to Europe. It had everyone involved, the CIA, England Secret service, XKGB operatives....and best of all it had a plot of people falling in love. love makes for the best underlying plot of all. Great job.

BLAND,
This review is from: Y2k (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this book was par at best the charecters were over emphasized. The whole plot is too unbelivible, (the main charecter just happens too fall in love w/ the same people wh tried too kill her previously, yet the tourture scenes had given a good visual and the villan was smartly chosen , but in the end just ends up too bland and seems like a carbon copy of a short Tom Clancy novel, alright if you're a spy,CIA,espionage junkie otherwise you can read if you have nothing else.

Pleasant enough..but bland,
By Fosky Bob "human" (Vacaville, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Y2k (Mass Market Paperback)
In the tradition of Tom Clancy & the rest of the technothriller gang, Pineiro's 'Y2K' is decent if already outdated only months after its release.What it essentially boils down to is Slobodan Milosevic's desire to un-Y2K-compliant the United States. Considering the lack of Y2K-related problems, Milosevic wouldn't have caused a stir. It seems like Pineiro wanted to write a Y2K story but couldn't come up with anything plausible. Good writing, nothing spectacular.
