Opis

HACK OR DIE Every day, government and industry networks are under worldwide attack by hackers. The National Security Agency, responsible for safeguarding US computer systems, has run out of options. Behind its impenetrable veil of secrecy, the NSA has taken the law into its own hands. Skilled hackers are captured and ordered to work on an information warfare program called DATASHARK. Those who refuse "disappear." But one of the hackers imprisoned by the NSA has powerful friends, able to threaten even the US government. Ryan Jones is an aerospace engineer with experience on the Space Shuttle, the B-1B bomber and other classified defense programs. He is a patented inventor, an instrument-rated pilot and a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do. He thrives on research, interviewing computer specialists, reformed hackers, police detectives, military officers and SWAT team members while writing DATASHARK. He and his wife Carol live in St. Louis.
