Synopsis

When terrorists attack Boston, Louis Massina races against time to save the city with a high-tech counteroffensive . . . On Easter Sunday morning, the city of Boston is struck by a widespread and coordinated series of terrorist attacks: an explosion in the T, a suicide bomber at Back Bay Police Station, and heavily armed gunmen taking hostages at the Patriot Hotel.For robotics innovator Louis Massina, aka the Puppet Master, this is far more personal than a savage act of political terrorism. Boston is his city—and one of his employees, Chelsea Goodman, is among the hostages facing certain death. As Chelsea fights from the inside, Massina leads his team of tech geniuses at Smart Metal to deploy every bot, drone, and cyber weapon at their disposal to defeat the fanatics and save his city and friend.That's step one. Step two: Find the twisted mastermind behind the attacks and make him pay.

Goodreads review by Lee

Cliche all the way Parts were exciting, long stretches were meh. I was more interested in the software than the actual plot (which I have read so many times, or watched so many times). The ending sucks.......more

Goodreads review by Craig

There is a saying that "Revenge is a dish best served cold." As we come to learn the act of revenge can create consequences that we do not expect. When things and people we love are hurt we often want to lash out, but when we don't consider all the consequences of our actions the backlash can be cos......more
