Product Description
This breathtaking novel, set against the backdrop of the software world and the Internet, takes you on a thrill ride from Massachusetts to California.

Marty Gladstone and TJ Gatwick are two powerful software entrepreneurs in a race to be first to market with a new operating system. The influential Silicon Valley journalist, Erin Keliher, can make or break either product. But her loyalty shifts as she gets involved with one of the two men.

Then everything goes haywire: Erin becomes the reluctant conduit for a brilliant yet warped computer hacker named Doomsday who has created a virus that is virtually unstoppable. The FBI tries to track Doomsday down to no avail. Finally, the Feds urgently appeal to Marty and TJ to put aside their differences and work together to thwart the efforts of this notorious cyberterrorist...before the Doomsday Virus takes down the country’s entire financial infrastructure.

5.0 out of 5 stars COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!, October 12, 2003
By A Customer
Fast paced thriller set in the world of high tech. I am not a computer person, but thoroughly enjoyed this novel and really got into the whole world of hackers and viruses and competition between programmers to top each other's products...Really a great thriller for anyone who enjoys page-turners. I learned a lot about a world I have little connection to, which was a blast, but also really got into the characters, the story, and the outcome, which is chilling. Loved the author's style, and his inclusion of actual events from history, including many "famous" computer viruses of the last ten years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GREAT THRILLING READ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Techno-Thriller from a Techno-Insider, July 14, 2003
By A Customer
Mr. Silverstein has created a tremendous novel that takes us through the boom -- and then the bust -- years of the techno-splosion and the software wars. The characters are real and compelling; the plot is suspenseful with many twists and turns; and the details are full of a sense of realism that can only come from a true industry insider.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gripping Story!, April 5, 2003
By A Customer
This is a smart techno-thriller. Instead of depending on a lot of unnecessary physical violence, the book gets into the havoc computer viruses can cause. It is tightly written, has interesting characters, a strong plot, and a good love story. Highly recommended!
