THE TERMINATION NODE
Scheduled for January 1999 hardcover release from Random House/Del Rey Books --
THE TERMINATION NODE
First in a series of technothriller novels by Lois H. Gresh and Robert Weinberg.
"The threat to our nation's information systems is real and growing daily. The technology for intrusion, attack and corruption of on-line systems is here today and will become widespread in the upcoming years. Therefore, it is both refreshing and frightening to find an intelligent book that actually captures the threat and conveys it in as realistic manner as THE TERMINATION NODE by Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg.
"Gresh and Weinberg have done their homework. They understand today's computing technology and draw a convincing picture of how hacker threats are likely to develop. The technolgy they describe will inevitably arrive. A book like THE TERMINATION NODE is an early warning of 21st century crime and terrorism."
--Dr. Howard Frank, former Director, Department of Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and currently, Dean of The University of Maryland Business College.
Among other achievements, DARPA is credited with the development of the internet, and remains closely involved with R&D involving internet terrorism and intrusions. As Director of DARPA's internet unit, Dr. Frank is a well-known authority on internet security: its past, present, and future.
