Dreams of Flesh and Sand

By W.T. Quick

Book Overview

Double En, the most powerful corporation ever created, and its founders, Nakamura and Norton, are two of the most brilliant minds in history. But now they have launched a private war against each other and winner takes all. While Norton is hidden deep inside the heart of the Double En's mainframe, Nakamura is busy hiring the very best in computer warfare -- that's Iceberg Berg, master of security systems. No one can penetrate a barrier he has created, except for one woman, his ex-wife, Icebreaker Calley. No wall has ever been barred to her. Together again, they face the impossible task of separating Norton from his beloved matrix before the man becomes the computer and the computer becomes more powerful than anything humanity has ever seen.

Real...powerful Cyberpunk

This is the real thing. Not only does this work and the others in the series provide an excellent example of cyberpunk, but it also covers nano-technology. There are real characters in the book and real character development. The character development is actually part of the book and is germaine to the action. These books are what cyberpunk can really be about. I recently reread it and it still rocks in 2008.

Which side is which?

Iceberg Berg, a man who knows how to create security systems, has been hired to protect Double En's matrix. Calley, a lady who knows how to penetrate any computer network (and the ex-Mrs. Berg), has been hired to attack the matrix. The problem with their jobs is that it looks like they were both hired by the same corporation - Nakamura-Norton. This is cyberpunk to the gills - powerful corporations, assassins, implants, private armies, gangs, lasers and lots of plot twists. Plot twists down to the last page!
