The widespread availability of computers and access to telephone and Internet technologies has contributed to the sharp rise in the number of people going online over the years. Unfortunately, many of these people found their way online through less-than-honest means, and once online, they would set out to perform a great deal of mischief and damage to various computers and computer information ...

Suit up with Grisham,Patterson and DeMillle
Having been immersed in the pits of NYC investment banking and as a civil litigator for over 35 years I feel uniquely qualified to say that Cort Malone's depiction of the suspense and intrique of the underbelly of those worlds is right on the mark. Even as a rookie, I feel that he can suit up against Grisham, Patterson and DeMille and would be an odds on favorite in keeping your page turning ...

This book has a solid five star rating in its soft cover version and it costs far more. As far as I know, this is the only electronic version yet available on this well rated seller.

iUniverse Star, 2004

More than just a spy novel
Maybe I'm biased because I grew up near Evansville, Indiana, and have seen first-hand many of the landmarks that provide the setting for this book, but I found this work an absolutely pleasant surprise. I didn't have high hopes simply because the trailers made it sound like a spy novel. It's a spy novel I couldn't put down. It also dives into the thought processes and propaganda machines of ...

Dutton Adult, 2008

BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
SPYCRAFT is the book, every lay person should read. This book shows that good intelligence work rather than being glamorous, can be a tedious and perilous occupation that involves pain-staking preparation. Intelligence means gathering necessary information for policy makers to make realistic and level-headed decisions. With provided intelligence, policy makers can take steps to prevent disasters ...

The Trial of Evan Gage

Rowan Wolfe

1st Books Library, 2003

Best I've read since " The Firm "
Wow! I never expected the " page turning" experience that some of the other reviewers described. Perhaps the only mystery more complex than the one laid out within this book is why this book isn't a best seller. It clearly is heads and tails above any book I've read in this category. Would love to connect with the author. Brilliance! Absolute brilliance! KJ Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Unexpectedly Amazing!!!
I thought this might be cheesy. It was fantastic! After having loved Ian Fleming, this was a great substitute. I look foward to reading the rest of the series.

Puffin, 2005

Anthony Horowitz ; Alex Rider
Another great Alex Rider fast paced ride. Alex has grown on me, I now hear we are going to get another, I really hope they make a film of Eagle Strike, this was a great novel. Alex hanging from a hot air ballon with one arm while kicking an attacker would be great to watch. Better than James Bond.

Y2K The Millennium Crisis

Bradford Morgan

Xlibris Corporation, 1999

A political scenario to plausible to ignore!
Two credible stories woven into one complex and gripping novel. If you love to hate the current administration in Washington DC, you'll be captivated by the explanation that Morgan has laid out for the President's behavior. In the other Washington, a prudent family gets swept into the chaos of a Y2K stricken nation. Most exciting drama I've read in years!

I Spy A Winner!
The I Spy Spooky Night book is one of many 'I Spy' books our family has enjoyed.

They will entertain no matter what your age. Our children and now our grandchildren have pulled these books out many times. They are like magnets and ...

Antonio Prohias

Topeka Bindery, 2001

spy vs spy complete!
Classic book with background information. Creative, imaginary, entertaining & impossible enterprises detailed. Great for adults to younger teens. Originally purchased for my 12 year old and so popular he and his friends that we gave several as gifts to his friends. My 8 year old also picked up the book and spent time studying the pictures and laughing at the absurd lengths these spys go to.

a picture book with a lot to read
Great collection but what surprised me was how long it actually took to read all of the text. Packed full of useful information.

Robert Walker

Writers Club Press, 2000

Good Book
I really enjoyed this book. Being an avid reader I can tell by reading the first few pages if I am going to enjoy a book and this one interested me from the start. I would definitedly like to see some more "Cheetah Files". The characters were intersting and believeable. Just the right kind of action and intrigue.

Francine Pascal

Topeka Bindery, 2003

Wow!
My friend at school and I are both Fearless freaks, and we do this whole book-swapping thing. Well, when I handed her over one of my books, she handed me this, and I thought that it was an unnecissary book to read, and it would make no difference whether I read it or not...until I picked it up. WOWEE! It was great! The book is all about how Gaia is bumped into on the street in 2002, and given a ...

Francine Pascal

Simon Pulse, 2002

Filled with various plot twists that will keep readers reading long into the night...
Even though her father and uncle are twins, Gaia has always had the ability to tell the two of them apart. Not anymore. For her father and uncle are no longer different people. They've finally morphed into one evil person. Both of them have the same plan: to destroy Gaia, and use her as nothing but a lab experiment. Fine, well they can have each other, because Gaia isn't taking this lying down. ...

Comfortably Numb

Guy Jones

1st Books Library, 2002

The Title Misleads
While the state of comfortable numbness may be an appropriate description of USAF personnel doing long shifts on JSTARS or AWACS, that description does not apply to readers of Guy Jones' book with that title. Numb, maybe, over the first pages as Jones sets the stage a little slowly; but never comfortable and definitely not numb over the entire book. The promotional blurbs on the cover liken ...
