Nope, this was the first one. It was fairly funny and had some interesting stuff, but I'm hoping for improvement in the next couple of books.
Anyway, among the books I've recently read, I highly recommend Joe Haldeman's Camouflage, Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried and Charlie Huston's Caught Stealing.

No, just no. Please do not use those two names in the same sentence. William Lane Craig is miles ahead of Graham in terms of intellectual superiority. LOL. __________________

Cliff Stoll - "The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage"
Pretty interesting actually, although IT has progressed a lot since this book was written (1989). It talks about how a hacker broke into various military computers -- Army, Air Force, CIA, etc. Involves the NSA, FBI, etc. Caught by an astrophysicist...

I think they get better as they go along. The "City Watch" books are my favorites. |
