Horde This Book
By Declan McCullagh ([email protected])
Book Review America's computers crashed on January 1, 2000. Cars won't
start, planes won't fly, and the military is in shambles. Soldiers of
unknown origin have seized control of a key high-tech company. China
is about to invade. The one man who can save Western civilization from

government intrigue that's sure to satisfy Chuck Norris fans but leave
anyone else hoping for more.
