Summary: WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER?
Comment: Jeffery Deaver has come up with a real thriller here that will not only keep you up much too late at night, but also keep you offline as far as your computer is concerned. The plot is simple: a computer "wizard" known as Phate has come up with a "daemon" or hidden computer program that allows him to take over the computers of ordinary "citizens" like you and me and manipulate their lives and lead them to their deaths. (If you don't understand the "codeslinger" lingo, Deaver provides a three-page glossary at the start of the book to bring you up to code.)
Anyway, to stop this computer killer the CCU (The Computer Crimes Unit of the California State Police) has come up with their own "wizard", Wyatt Gillette who just happens to be doing time in prison for doing some hacking of his own. Like some gigantic real-life computer game, Phate seems to be in complete control - even going so far as to brutally and blatantly murder a member of the CCU team trying to capture him. It's a race against time, and Phate is using every computer skill that he has in order to delay and misdirect his pursuers.
Deaver has written a book with well-developed and interesting characters. And even if you know less about computers than I do, (which happens to be next to nothing) this tale will keep you turning pages as fast as you can, and by the time you finish the book you'll realize that you even learned a bit about how the computer world works. This one really earned my top rating, even if it did keep me from turning my iMac on for a while..

Summary: A WICKED CYBER THRILLER
Comment: Phate is a computer wizard, lurking the world wide web for victims...
After a killing sends the California State Police Computer Crimes Division into a frenzy, the head of the division makes a desperate judgement call...free Wyatt Gillette, a man imprisoned for computer hacking, his expertise on the computer will enable the force to catch the madman called Phate.
Keeping one step ahead of the police, Phate sends a shocking message by killing an officer involved with the case.
Wyatt must work quick, and with the help of detective Frank Bishop, this unlikely pair will enter into a twisted game set forth by Phate, and with precision moves the two will stop the bloodthirsy killer before he kills again.
'The Blue Nowhere' is another good entry in a long line of psychological thrillers by Jeffery Deaver. After starting a little slow, the novel blasts off to unveil a sick, suspenseful plot that will have readers turning the pages all night.
Jeffery Deaver has created a nightmarish novel that will have computer users thinking twice before logging on.

Summary: A Thrilling Roller Coaster. Very Highly Recommended!
Comment: Being heavily involved in Internet application development, I found this book to be extremely riveting. It was recommended by a friend of mine who is a regular user of the Internet. In other words, this book will appeal to anyone that enjoys edgy thrillers.
The technical overtone is not at all overwhelming. On the contrary, it is informative and at times very stimulating. I have read two great thrillers this year. One of them was religious (The Da Vinci Code) and the other was technological (The Blue Nowhere.)
It's the perfect novel for nerds, tech junkies, programmers and computer gurus. It will definitely delight and satisfy the vast majority of thriller/suspense lovers, though. I couldn't put it down until I was through it's that good. I highly recommend it!
