Circumference of darkness a thriller

"This electrifying debut thriller delivers a gripping tale of Big Brother gone mad amid a world in peril. Brimming with high-powered suspense, here is the shockingly believable story of three masterminds locked on a breathtaking collision course that may determine the very fate of the United States." "Twenty-two-year-old Jeannie Reese is a computer wunderkind - and the top architect of next-generation security for the government. Her latest brainchild, IRIN, is the most powerful surveillance technology ever developed. On the day of a horrific act of terrorism strikes the U.S., Jeannie's creation is put to work." "Known only as Phr33k, John Fagan is a legendary, reclusive computer hacker. For years he has remained unidentified despite his infamy as the author of a slew of electronic crimes - and his now eerily prophetic, scenarios of warfare against America. But Phr33k is being held by a vast terrorist network that plans to use his genius to deliver a final, fatal blow: a nationwide wave of unparalleled destruction. In his greatest challenge yet, Fagan must find a way to provide Jeannie Reese with one impossible shot to short-circuit the unstoppable scheme he so masterfully - and so unwillingly - helped to create."

  • "Twenty-two-year-old Jeannie Reese is a computer wunderkind--and the top architect of next-generation security for the Department of Defense. Her latest brainchild is IRIN, the most powerful surveillance technology ever developed. To date, IRIN has remained ultraclassified and inactive. But on the day a shocking act of terrorism strikes U.S. shores, the presidential order comes to launch Jeannie's creation against the dark forces behind the attack. Known only as Phr33k, forty-one-year-old John Fagan is a legendary, reclusive computer hacker. For years he has expertly hidden himself while operating freely within the shadows of the Internet's background noise. He has remained in complete seclusion despite his infamy as the author of a slew of massive electronic crimes--and despite his long-ago, now eerily prophetic, scenarios of terrorist warfare against America."@en

  • "In 1993, a legendary hacker known only as PHR33K outlined a far-fetched plan for the ultimate terrorist attack, in a members-only online chat room. Eight years later, he awoke on September 11, 2001 to see the World Trade Center in flames and his casual brainstorm materializing into a murderous reality. Among the injured in the Pentagon strike was twenty-two year old Jeannie Reese, former child prodigy and current lead designer in the government's Total Information Awareness program. As the response is mobilized, she receives a green-light to activate her pet project, ARGOS, a highly classified, omnipresent domestic surveillance system. She soon uncovers phr33k's years-old blueprint for September 11th, and Jeannie sets out to track down this dark figure of the Internet underground and bring him to justice for his role. But the hunt soon leads Jeannie down an alarming trail of revelations: the terrorists are gathering again, they achieved only a fraction of their aims on 9/11, and a massive follow-up attack is coming, designed by the most formidable mind she's ever encountered, conceived to bring about the end of the United States of America.--p[4] Cover."
