Daddy's Little Felons

De: Rick Bennett

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

If you liked Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp, then you'll enjoy Morgan Rapier. Daddy’s Little Felons, Rick Bennett’s second novel, introduces former Navy SEAL and computer wizard Morgan Rapier, a one-man force of nature whose retaliation against Russian & Chinese hackers inadvertently starts (and eventually wins) a world-wide cyberwar. His creative attack against an Islamic hacker nearly ignites a holy war. The video of his beating up a child abuser goes viral and becomes the #1 Navy SEAL recruitment vehicle. And his tracking down a serial killer in Utah embarrasses quite a few prominent locals, whose ancestors took part in the infamous Mountain Meadow’s Massacre. But the net effect of Daddy’s Little Felons is to build a case for privatizing world-wide Internet security with licensed and bonded cyber privateers as provided for in Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Privateering made all the difference in the Revolutionary War. It could save us from devastation in our modern age. About Rick Bennett Rick Bennett’s one-man ad agency took Oracle from $15 million to its first billion-dollar sales year. His guerrilla marketing has helped create billion-dollar companies (Oracle and Salesforce.com, to name two), along with numerous hardware, database, circuit design and AI companies. His advertising helped trigger acquisition of his clients—Forté by Sun, Vantive by PeopleSoft (who was then acquired by Oracle), Junglee by Amazon.com, IntraLinks by TA Indigo Holding Corporation, BigFix by IBM—and his Wall Street Journal ads secured major equity investments in one client from Hewlett-Packard and Oracle. He learned guerrilla warfare from the late Tony Schwartz, whose famous Daisy TV ad destroyed Barry Goldwater in 1964, and with whom Bennett worked in 1980 to pass Massachusetts’ revolutionary tax-limitation initiative. Bennett is also an inventor and mathematician covered early in his career by Business Week and The Wall Street Journal, and he has appeared on television shows such as ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s Today and Tomorrow With Tom Snyder, the McNeil-Lehrer Report, and Mike Douglas. Bennett created Salesforce.com’s frontal assault on Siebel, the most famous of which is their “I will not give my lunch money to Siebel” campaign. For six years he sat on the Safeguard Scientifics (NYSE: SFE) technology advisory board. He currently sits on the Quantum Leap Innovations board of directors, periodically rents his brain to technology clients who want to drive a stake into the hearts of their competitors, and writes a cyber privateering blog: http://www.TheMorganDoctrine.com. He lives with his wife of 48 years in a Utah mountainside home they call The Pirate Cottage. Bennett is currently working on the sequel to Daddy’s Little Felons.
