About this title

Synopsis

Refusing to put his encryption program on the market, knowing it could be used by spies and terrorists to break into top-secret security and communication systems, Roger Gordian finds his company the object of a suspicious hostile takeover. Simultaneous.

Reviews

Abridge any Tom Clancy novel, and information necessary to follow the story is bound to be lost. Without the expert performance of Jay O. Sanders, this story--about U.S. encryption software entering the world and Asian market through underworld crime in Singapore--would be impossible to follow. Sanders saves the day, slaying the demons of complicated plot with ease. His deft handling of the many characters in the thriller overcomes the confusion of too many Asian names. His dialects span the globe, including a magnificent Australasian-born, American-educated female on the run. And Sanders's rich voice in the narrative passages is nothing short of delicious.

It is the year 2000, and computers are still working. Indeed, Roger Gordian has a company that specializes in encryption and is staving off what is a very hostile, and deadly, takeover of his firm. His enemies are various narcotics thugs and political extremists who want the military's most secret software and the president as well. The action, most of which takes place in Malaya and Singapore, is typical Clancy (Rainbow Six, Audio Reviews, LJ 11/1/98): nonstop and long on details of equipment and tactics, not so strong on character development. Jay O. Sanders, an experienced reader with a pleasing baritone, does a good job with both dialog and narrative. Recommended for public libraries.AMichael T.
