This is another paragraph Review: In this 21st century version of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral two computer wizards engage in the kind of high-tech combat that only a hacker could love. Wyatt Gillette, a cybergenius who's never used his phenomenal talent for evil, is sitting in a California jail doing time for a few harmless computer capers when he gets a temporary reprieve--a chance to help the Computer Crimes Unit of the state police nail a cracker (a criminally inclined hacker) called Phate who's using his ingenious program, Trapdoor, to lure innocent victims to their death by infiltrating their computers. Gillette and Phate were once the kings of cyberspace--the Blue Nowhere of the title--but Phate has gone way past the mischievous electronic pranks they once pulled and crossed over to the dark side. While Trapdoor can hack its way into any computer, it's Phate's skill at social engineering as well as his remarkable coding ability that makes him such a menace to society. As Wyatt explains to the policeman who springs him from prison so that he can find and stop Phate before he kills again, It means conning somebody, pretending you're someone you're not. Hackers do it to get access to databases and phone lines and pass codes. The more facts about somebody you can feed back to them, the more they believe you and the more they'll do what you want them to.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in None Issued jacket. 430 pages. Book is in Very good condition throughout. Imagine Being Approached By A Man In A Bar Who Knows Everything About You. You Go For A Drink, The Last You Will Ever Have.
This book deals with the early stages of the internet and the considerable amount of hacking that went on at that time. (I'm not sure it's any less now!) If you look at shows like SNEAKERS with Robert Redford you'll understand the time frame and the mindset of those times.
Overall this was a very good read, typical Deaver.
Crime, computers, and even a glossary of terms used then. It will hold your attention.
