In a real thrill ride of a read, God of the Internet by author Lynn Lipinski is a book that will grab readers from the very first pages, and keep them obsessively turning the pages all the way through until the very end. Follow the story of a group of "White Hat" computer hackers, working to assist the United States government as they try to disable the code devised by the hacker known as the G0d_of_Internet", whose code has hijacked millions of computers to do the bidding of an Islamic jihadist group.
One of the White Hats, Mahaz Al-Dossari, recruits his wife, Juliana, to help in their desperate mission. Even though her skills are much below the rest of the group, she agrees to help, to try to save the country from ruin. Besides the stress of that situation, Juliana and Mahaz's marriage is on the brink of disaster, and she fears that he will take their children back to his home country of Saudi Arabia, where she is likely never to see them again. Will the family, or the country as a whole, survive? You'll need to read the book to find out!
I very much enjoyed God of the Internet. This is truly an edge of your seat type of book, and will keep many readers up reading much longer than they every anticipated. Author Lynn Lipinski has done a fantastic job with her realistic story line and intriguing characters, and I am pleased to be able to recommend this book very highly. I look forward to reading more from this very promising author, and hope to do so in the very near future!
