Synopsis

The breathtaking sequel to Warp Speed—science fiction written by a real scientist who is also a gifted Writer.

Steven Montana, computer whiz and hacker extraordinaire, was attending college in Ohio when his world fell apart. A swarm of huge meteors fell all over the world, on Europe, on the United States, and in particular on Steven's home town in California. In an instant, his family and all his friends were gone.

Suffering fits of deep depression, he dropped out of college and ended up working as a repairman in a video games store, where he did a brilliant job of repairing a thirty-year-old video game. That caught the attention of the game's owner, who happened to be in a position to get Steven a government job, cracking computer codes, and reverse engineering unusual hardware.

When he was given a tiny piece of hardware to examine as a "test," he worked out its functions so well that he and his boss were called to Washington for a Top Secret meeting. They asked him countless questions, yet declined to answer his; but he would soon learn all the answers.

This book wasn't as good as the first book. Again we go with the geek guy who is clueless towards women. The thing about this book is that the nanomachines (which the author says could theoretically be a reality some day) are a lot like a 9th level wizard spell from D&D. In other words, super high p......more

Goodreads review by Tim Shelton on February 19, 2022

No stakes, no conflict. Everything just comes easily to our protagonists. Especially a back for genocide and a jingoistic philosophy that carried over from the previous book. Reader beware Taylor has a folksy way if spinning a yarn but t this point in his writing career he didn't have much of a gras......more

Unfortunately the book started slow - TMI on computerspeak - once I got further into the book it flowed fine - perhaps if I reread Warp Speed I may have been able to grasp the concept right away.......more
