Publisher's summary

Circles is the most popular social network in the world: vast, ubiquitous, and constantly evolving. Days before expanding into China, Circles suffers a devastating cyberattack - and a key executive is brutally murdered.

As he fights to save the company he helped build, top engineer Sergio Mansour uncovers evidence of a massive conspiracy that turns the power of Circles against its users. But as Sergio investigates, someone is watching his every move - someone ruthless enough to brand him a criminal and set a vicious hit man on his trail.

Desperate to clear his name, Sergio turns to Malina Olson, a beautiful and headstrong doctor who has an agenda of her own. Now, he and Malina must survive long enough to expose the truth in a world without hiding places, where a single keystroke can shift the global balance of power.

Good listen.

Riveting story Perkins

Exciting and riveting. Excellent narration. Enjoyed very much and was hard to put down the Kindle.

Surprisingly good!

This book won't blow you out of the water, but it is easy to relate to the story and the characters. It is also scary how close to real life it can be. I think the narrator did a great job to bring the story to life. Give it a try!

Ominous

It kept me enthralled, despite my not being a "techy "
I wonder if a social-bot guided me to write this review 🤔

Yes... LISTEN TO THIS NOW: 12-2-16

Creepy how Morrison stole from headlines he could not have read! This book, written before America's 2016 election is impossibly close to the hottest of the moment's conspiracy theories.... And yet it precedes any of them. Scott Allan Morrison is delightfully prescient.

WARNING get this book quickly and get listening. It will have a brief shelf life in terms of its plot. David Colacci again creates an ensemble, an emotional sense and an effective drive that brings the breathless conclusion to life.

But... get this book quickly and get listening., get this book quickly and get listening.. get this book quickly and get listening. Nuff said, this is my first Scott Allan Morrison book... I'll buy more soon.

Conspiracies Abound

The right to privacy. Is it possible anymore in our digital society? This is a fairly fast moving book which capitalizes on some of the conspiracy theories out there regarding social media and its impact on current events. I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it should be read soon as to not outdate itself in the near future as technology is changing so fast. Circles resembles a popular social media site for the present but possibly not the future. Just sayin...

Interesting Story

This story was slow at times but overall a good book. It was very detailed and thought out and I actually learned a lot from it even though it was fictional. I saw so many parallels to things that are going on in the world right now. Wish there was a second book!

Nerds, Politics, Killers, and Love

This book has it all. It attracted me because of the tech stuff, then comes a murder and our hero has to go on the run. He runs right to a girl he barely knows but really likes. She may not be all she seems either. Who is a hero to trust?

Mixed Feelings

Would you try another book from Scott Allan Morrison and/or David Colacci?

Not very enthusiastically.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have made the protagonist a lot less exotic. He had too much unbelievable baggage. His angst seemed silly. The actions scenes would be more believable. I believe the author knows computers. I do believe he has ever been in a fight nor visited a construction site.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked it when he was hacking.

Did Terms of Use inspire you to do anything?

Yes, to change my privacy settings and cull my friends' list on Facebook.

Any additional comments?

The book was so promising. The author's purple prose was off-putting.

Just very ordinary.

Not much of a thriller. If you're really interested in cyber attacks etc. this is not going to be your book. Disappointed.

Pretty entertaining read

Really liked the contemporary subject of social media and our privacy. I really liked the characters and their development. Look forward to more.
