Boek met gedateerde en onjuiste voorspellingen van de toekomst van de stand van de technologie. Mensen bezoeken het Internet in een soort Virtuel Reality, de meeste burgers hebben geen mobiele telefoons (mm, zou dat niet lekker rustig zijn), agenten in dienst van de overheid hebben een zogehten 'Virgil' (Virutel Global Interface Link), een communicatie-device met GPS ontvanger, computer etc. in een.

Dit soort boeken zijn ideaal voor op het strand, tijdens het reizen, of ergens waar je met een simpel boek rustig kunt zitten lezen, zonder dat het storend is als je even afgeleid wordt. (

This is a highly predictable, action, right-winged novel. The good guy characters are made heroic and the bad guys are immoral. Seems like material for a low class action film. I would not waste your time with this propaganda. (

Epigraph

War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight,
The lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
- John F. Kennedy

Dedication

First words

'Okay, Commander,' Boyle said. 'We're clear.'
Steve Day stepped out into the muggy autumn night from the cooler air-conditioned restaurant, surrounded still by the wonderful odors of exquisite Italian cooking.
