Finished Lethal Code by Thomas Waite.
This book is scary. Not because of monsters or aliens or any of that... rather, it's due to the very real possibility that the events therein could actually happen.
Every week it seems we hear about a new hacking incident... whether it's a digital bank robbery or a hospital's records being held for ransom; it doesn't seem implausible that a team of hackers could take over all the power stations in the US. The ensuing death and destruction is well-illustrated without becoming macabre, though I must admit that I had to pause in my reading every once in a while, as I became too emotional.
The characters are well-developed and believable, the plot is well written and I can't recall a single error in the text or formatting.
For me, this is a very good book, and will go into the favorites list.
