Publisher Description
All credit cards have stopped working. Today. This morning.
What cash you have in your wallet is it. ATMs and bank systems are down. You can’t get gas, groceries… Commerce has essentially come to a halt. Such is the backdrop of THE BACK DOOR MAN.
Our society is computercentric. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. We’re plugged in. Managing our finances online. Downloading apps for our iPhone. Reading the WSJ on our Kindle.
There are things out there on the cutting edge we don’t even know we need to fear. THE BACK DOOR MAN takes us there.
We see it through the eyes of James Kolinsky, a simple family man who works in information security. His day goes from bad to worse when he discovers that his greatest fear is his fault and what’s happened to him has happened to millions of others.
He’s been set up. His family—make that the world—has been taken hostage. The next twenty-four hours we find out what James Kolinsky is really made of.
Customer Reviews
Great read
Dave writes well and can certainly spin a good story. Good characters and a believable plot makes it a worthwhile read. Very technical in places, but well researched. A recommended read.
Could not put it down
It’s been a very long time since I’ve read a book in one sitting, partly due to time, but really this book I’d have found the time, if that had been an issue. Entertaining, well researched (in spite of a review that had some issue with a technical detail, but having a 30 year career in information technology I found nothing wanting in that area) and more than enough suspense to keep this reader fully engaged to the end. Taking a breather, then I’m going back to read more from the author’s offerings.
