    Story
    (241)

    An airliner’s controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction. At first, these random computer failures seem like unrelated events.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    I am not sure who would enjoy this book.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Mark Russinovich again?

    Probably not.


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    For me it was hard to make a distinction between the the quality of the narration and the quality of the writing.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Zero Day?

    The code snippets that are elaborated in the text are not essential to the plot.

    Thousands of autonomous computer programs, or daemons, make our networked world possible, running constantly in the background of our lives, trafficking e-mail, transferring money, and monitoring power grids. For the most part, daemons are benign, but the same can't always be said for the people who design them.

    Erica says: "Possibly The Best Techno-thriller Ever"
    "Crichton like techothriller - excellent narration"

    Would you consider the audio edition of Daemon to be better than the print version?

    This is a well written and engaging thriller a level above Crichton in plot finesse and technical sophistication. The fact that it was published in 2009 makes it downright prescient.


    What other book might you compare Daemon to and why?

    This is only my second review. Now that I know that positive reviewers are asked about similar books, I am going to read other positive reviews to see what other books might be similar.


    What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    A great sense of the rhythm and pace of the story and of the character's speech.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Not, one, no.


    Any additional comments?

    The is a roller coaster of a plot with well developed characters and cool technology details.
