This was well written and suspenseful, and kept me guessing all the way through. The characters were likable. The only reason I am giving it three instead of four stars is that the science was so out there. The things that happened just required too big a suspension of disbelief. I mean, the whole premise- a virus that spreads through computer screens and kills people? Impossible and the author did not do a good job of making it plausible.

Still, this book is worth the read, you just have to completely ignore the fact that the whole premise doesn't make sense.

A surgeon with a bad hand and a questionable attitude meets a techie with a broken soul and together they fight a couple of whack-jobs whose goal it is to shut down all technology. Never mind that we will never have hot water again; the TV and coumputer will cease to function. All machinery that uses computers is kaput. Short-sighted choice for a bunch of city people with cell phones. The ending just doesn't make sense. And what would life be like if my computer really did stop wor
