Cloud Crash was a well done local terrorist techno thriller. While some of the twists and turns were bordering far-fetched, it still maintained a level of reality that was on this side of believability. The technology didn't go overboard to sound like a manual, but also wasn't too vague so as to not be understood. There were a few scenes that were on the slow or redundant side, but otherwise the pace flowed really well.While most of the book was predictable and you knew what was coming, the adventure of getting there was done well. A couple of the twists made me shake my head a little, but a couple pages later I forgot about them and was immersed right back into the story. One particular medical facility was the focus, but this book could ring true of almost any business (much of it was also affected by events). The author displayed some great knowledge of how the digital world is held together and also how little it would take to bring it to it's knees.This is a very good book for those of you into technology, conspiracy theories, or those paranoid of how easy it would be to halt the digital world that we live in. While an organized attack by many individuals or groups would be much more realistic than a "lone gunman"-type, it didn't hinder the book as much as I thought it would as the action started. At the moment it is a $2.99 purchase from Amazon, I found there to be more value than that in this book so it should be a definite buy.
