Wow! From 1994!

This is a great book about a kidnapping and has such a clever ending!

It was written four years before I even had an email account yet it covers surprisingly accurate and insightful information about the powers and weaknesses of computers and online capabilities.

I highly recommend this. It is exciting and as fast-paced as Dr. Coleman’s Chunnel thriller called Tunnel.
