Customer Reviews

Very fun read

My professor recommended this book and I'm glad she did. This book was a very fun read. It is action-packed and highlights the role of logistics and computers in modern society in an unforced manner. What did feel forced were a couple of the "romance" scenes but these are fairly short. I'd recommend this book to anyone. It definitely reads like a good novel, not an academic book, but does make you think about the impact of computers and logistics on society.

Must read for any logistics professional.

I really enjoyed this novel of logistics and intrigue. Taking a subject perceived to be as dry as logistics and bringing it to life in the form of Jane Akers was truly unique. I look forward to another book on such subject matters, written in the same fashion!

The story really pulls you in!

I enjoyed following the main characters through all the plot twists as the stakes got increasingly higher.

Excellent thriller with information on logistics in business

This book is must reading for managers in business. It is both entertaining and thought provoking

Another great business novel

Along the lines of "The Goal", a business novel that is truly enjoyable. Bringing the subject of logistics to the front of the human brain.
