Fast, furious and so fine!

Massucci has given us a fascinating look at the possible downfall of western civilization should an evil cybergenius get loose.In this many level story the, now happily past, Y2K issue is used as a mask for a much more insidious plan to gain boundless fortune and power. The main characters are that very evil genius, a 3 person highly trained and skillful special forces strike team, a number of top computer and biotech scientists, and Albert, the first functional biocomputer. In addition, there are a great number of tough and/or brilliant, good and/or evil players who are all blown away using various interesting and/or grotesque forms of military armament and/or civilian fatal devices.Despite some truly grotesque concepts that still haunt me, I must proclaim this a captivating adventure, beautifully wrought with real characters involved in a fascinating struggle to the death to save themselves, their friends and US. It's a fast and consuming read.Go for it!!!!

An Exciting Book

Another exciting book from Joseph Massucci. The subject matter is very believable and scary, and the demented, bankrupt bad guy is one of the creepiest I've read. Another awesome element of this story is the intriguing military hardware -- what great fun! The good guy (Marshall) and heroine (Julie) certainly add to the quality of this story. Massucci will have to do a sequel. An exciting read!

Keeps You Up!

The Millennium Project kept me up till all hours! Not having a military or technical background, I nevertheless found it fascinating. Massucci has a way of combining characters, dialogue, and technical facts that make the story easy to follow. The character's are interesting, action is awesome and the ending makes you want more. This would make a great movie! I'm looking forward to seeing the author's next work.

Not Really About Y2K

I found this fast-paced thriller very engaging. But not because of Y2K. In fact, rather than boring me with computer bugs, the story is a fascinating (albeit violent) look at industrial and financial terrorism, a diversion I found refreshing, not to mention thrilling. I don't believe the world is about to come to an end from this computer glitch or even the second coming, but obviously some people do. And this book takes a breathtaking look at what might happen if some of those crazies exploit our vulnerabilities to gain real power. Apocalyptic headlines aside, I enjoyed this book for its likeable characters, fast story and loads of suspense. Just when I thought it was safe to get on an airplane at the stroke of midnight, the book's master terrorist starts pulling them from the sky like toys. And there's even a good piece of common sense in the book: when our terrorist uses computers to play havoc with aircraft, an old helicopter is put back into service in order to avoid disasters. I must also mention our heroes' use of chemical and semi-biological computers with massively parallel capabilities -- this is absolutely awesome technology which, I understand, is considered to be strong possibilities for the future. And there's so much more here to enjoy. All-in-all, a great read!

WOW!

I just read "The Millennium Project" and thought it was great! Started reading it last night and finished at 3:00 am. I couldn't put it down. Great Plot, with all the twists and turns and equally great characters. Someone needs to make a movie about this book. Would make Rambo, Terminator 2 and the Die Hard movies look like Disney flicks. I'm recommending it to all my friends and fellow investors in Y2K stocks.
