The story begun in The Hacker's Heart continues! He's always been secretive. Can he be trusted to love? The mysterious hacker Stryker13 is dead... as far as most people (and government agencies) need to know. In his place is a seemingly ordinary computer-science student named Luke Blankenship, ready to start a new life with the woman he loves. Melinda Rossiter is that woman. She didn't expect to fall in love with Luke, or to lose him, and most of all she didn't expect to get him back. After all they've been through, she'd be a fool not to take a chance on a relationship with him. But when staying with Luke means changing cities and giving up her meaningful job for a much worse one, Melinda starts to worry that the connection they forged isn't strong enough to sustain the day-to-day challenges of living together. And when he gets tempted to venture into high-level hacking again, she has to decide whether their love is worth upending—and quite possibly risking—her life. Please note: this is not a stand-alone story! It's best enjoyed after reading the prequel, The Hacker's Heart.

Hacker Noah Lennox lives in the shadows, fighting a one-man war against the corrupt leader of Sector Five. The only weak spot in his armor is his best friend’s sweet younger sister--the girl he swore to save, even from himself. With her brother dead and a target on their backs, getting her out of the sector--and out of danger--meant giving her up for good. Or so he thought. Emma Cibulski has made her own home in Sector Four, as a full member of the O’Kane gang and apprentice to their infamous tattoo artist. When Noah--the first man she ever loved--stumbles back into her life, it’s her chance to have it all. The spark between them burns hotter than ever, and this time her fantasies are far from innocent. But can they handle the heat...or will Noah’s dark secrets drive them apart forever?

When the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman, Milford Prince, is murdered in Harlem during the ’77 blackout, the Department of Justice dispatches intelligence special agent Emmy Veronica Edmonds (Code Name Nightingale) to investigate. During her inquisition, Nightingale discovers that Milford was heavily involved with a New York gangster known only as “The Man”. Quickly, Nightingale discovers that this enigmatic hood is more than a common thug. “The Man” is the code name for a Russian spy who is deeply embedded in the American political system, and Nightingale believes that Milford was killed because he was about to expose the spy’s identity. To prove her theory, Nightingale searches the drug-ridden Harlem Streets, where Milford was killed, and follows dirty money to politicians and international entities who will stop at nothing to keep power and their secrets safe, and when Nightingale finally catches up to “The Man”, she may not live to tell who he is.

In 2008, Amazon.com established a new record even as sales at the U.S. store chains were the weakest in decades - more than 6.3 million items were ordered worldwide on its peak shopping day; amounting to 72.9 items per second. Awesome! How large a machine do you need to process and ship this kind of volume? How efficiently do you need operate it? And what kind of people do you need to keep it going?The author, a former Technology leader from Amazon.com writing under a pen name, gives us a vivid, sometime brutal inside scoop on Amazon.com's giant machinery, describing its cold and calculating culture in detail. The story begins in Silicon Valley where we go through author's experiences in the fast moving world of a Hi-Tech start up. Soon thereafter, the author's start-up is acquired and he finds himself a job. The economic meltdown forces him to look for greener pastures. He finds one in Seattle, a medley of lush green hills surrounded by snow capped mountains and sparking blue waters. Amazon.com--an Internet company based in Seattle which has taken the stock markets by storm, and has been transforming itself from an online retailer to an eCommerce platform, led by a CEO who leads this transformation but is not afraid to act goofy.It begins as a story of a technologist leaving behind his beloved Silicon Valley for Seattle. It unfolds into a moving story capturing Seattle's beauty, its interesting people and culture; and the inside scoop on the dot-com world - both the excitement and joy of innovation, and also the dark side of a culture driven by metrics, including "Cruelty curve", a quota for letting go of a certain number of people every year, based on their relative performance graded on a "curve".Note: Portions of this book have been previously published under title "Seattle Adventures".
