Hotshot lone shark Cal Stevens is called in to investigate what appears to be a hacker trying to bring down the internet. Of course, it turns out to be far more than that.Cal's wiseass wisecracks in the face of danger may not necessarily make him the most realistic character, but he's great fun to be around and you could easily picture his dialogue working well in a movie.A pretty PR specialist, a conspiracy-oriented blogger, and a Tech "Czar" are among the many characters that populate this Cal Stevens novel. All of them are infused with their own unique personalities.While the unraveling mysteries do provide the reader with some weighty food-for-thought, Cloud Crash is ultimately a fun action romp with cool characters, nice banter, and prominent locales. The ultimate beach read!
