   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) FDKreader | Jul 12, 2021 |  ) Carole0220 | Mar 21, 2020 | Marc Bowman, a highly successful computer consultant and software designer, walks into his job at a major tech company one morning only to find himself fired on the spot, stonewalled by his boss, and ushered out of the building. Then things get worse: An explosive argument drives his wife away and a robbery threatens to yank a million-dollar idea—and his whole future—out from under him. In a matter of hours, Marc has gone from having it all to being sucker-punched by fate. But it’s only Monday, and before the week is over, he’ll be stalked, ambushed, wiretapped, arrested, duped, double- and triple-crossed—until he can’t tell enemies from allies. Suddenly, the only thing standing between him and the wrath of everyone from the FBI to Homeland Security to his desperate ex-bosses is a flash drive full of data that might just be the holy grail of high-tech secrets—and a holy terror in the wrong hands. Now, as the gloves come off and the guns come out, turning back is hopeless and giving up is madness. The only person left for Marc to trust is himself. And the only thing left to do is keep running—or end up a dead man walking. My Thoughts: From the beginning to the end I had no idea who to trust! Andrew Grant has woven an excellent tale of intrigue that could easily be happening in our technology-filled world. I kept thinking I knew what was next, even until the very end...but each page brought a new twist and more questions. The book was well-written, and thought-provoking. We have all read books where ordinary, everyday people suddenly find themselves in trouble and/or on the wrong side of the law. These people sometimes just as quickly acquire talents for preforming tasks that only military, law enforcement or Superman would be expected to do all the while digging themselves a deeper, darker hole. Even though Marc Bowman brought most of his problems on himself, you just couldn't help feeling his helplessness, desperation and despair throughout the entire ordeal. Never have I wanted to pick a character up out of the pages of a book and move him to somewhere else as much as I did this hopeless, incompetent man. In spite of this I thoroughly enjoyed this latest offering from this author. ( ) Carol420 | May 31, 2016 |  ) Tatoosh | May 15, 2015 | ) erikmurri | Apr 13, 2015 | no reviews | add a review
