CyberTerrorism. Get used to that word and understand it because
you're going to see more of it in the newspapers and hear it on the
news in the not too distant future. Mark Russinovich is a
CyberSecurity expert who has turned his considerable knowledge into
a very scary and too plausible novel. "Zero Day" is not science
fiction; it is science fact, and it is a clear warning of Doomsday.
A must-read for all Americans and for those entrusted with our
security and our survival. Nelson DeMille While what Mark wrote is
fiction, the risks that he writes about eerily mirror many
situations that we see today. Howard A. Schmidt, White House Cyber
Security Coordinator An up-to-the-moment ticking-clock thriller,
"Zero Day" imagines the next 9/11 in a frightening but all too
believable way. An expert in the field, Mark Russinovich writes
about cyberterrorism with a mix of technical authority and dramatic
verve. I was riveted. William Landay, author of The Strangler When
someone with Mark Russinovich's technical chops writes a tale about
tech gone awry, leaders in the public and private sector should
take notes. Daniel Suarez, author of Daemon Microsoft computer guru
Russinovich's first novel, a cautionary tale about the imminence of
the great cyber attack to wipe out the Internet. "Publishers
Weekly" Nothing if not topical, this is a competent thriller
boasting a full share of conspiracies, betrayals, violence and
against-the-clock maneuvers. "Kirkus Reviews" Russinovich's debut
thriller is worth a read; conspiracy theorists will thoroughly
enjoy it. "Library Journal" "Zero Day" by Mark Russinovich paints a
chilling picture of what might happen if hackers lose interest in
stealing credit cards and become more focused on cyberterrorism.
... Whether or not you're a computer geek, "Zero Day" tells a
compelling story with thrills and chills to entertain you. I found
it more plausible and fun than Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress." "The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer" Guns, babes, rootkits, blade servers,
damsels in distress, and assassins. ... Strikes a good balance
between technical believability and plot pace. "TechRepublic""
