| William Harrington, the veteran sus- pense novelist who has been hailed as a "master of suspense and plot" (Grand Rapids Press), and whose books have been called "cliffhangers to the last page" (Houston Post), is back with Virus, his most thrilling adventure to date. Virus explores the fascinating world of Darius Whitney, a brilliant computer pioneer turned destructive hacker. His first goal is to bring down the company that he founded but saw swallowed up by a large conglomerate. His plan is to foul up the reservations network used by every major airline on Wednesday, November 21, the day before Thanksgiv- ing, and the busiest travel day of the year. Exactly according to plan the virus he inserts through his company s software reduces nearly every airport in the coun- try to chaos, and brings mobs of holiday travelers to the edge of riot. Soon, the embittered computer pio- neer s talents are enlisted by a notorious Colombian drug baron, who wants him to disrupt a far more sensitive computer network. When the ex-Navy fighter pilot and computer security expert "Scott Van- denberg is called upon to stop the sinister plot, Virus takes off at breakneck speed and doesn t let up until the final page. |
