William Harrington, the veteran sus-

pense novelist who has been hailed as a

"master of suspense and plot" (Grand

Rapids Press), and whose books have

been called "cliffhangers to the last

page" (Houston Post), is back with Virus,

his most thrilling adventure to date.

Virus explores the fascinating world of

Darius Whitney, a brilliant computer

pioneer turned destructive hacker. His

first goal is to bring down the company

that he founded but saw swallowed up

by a large conglomerate. His plan is to

foul up the reservations network used

by every major airline on Wednesday,

November 21, the day before Thanksgiv-

ing, and the busiest travel day of the year.

Exactly according to plan the virus he

inserts through his company s software

reduces nearly every airport in the coun-

try to chaos, and brings mobs of holiday

travelers to the edge of riot.

Soon, the embittered computer pio-

neer s talents are enlisted by a notorious

Colombian drug baron, who wants him

to disrupt a far more sensitive computer

network. When the ex-Navy fighter pilot

and computer security expert "Scott Van-

denberg is called upon to stop the sinister

plot, Virus takes off at breakneck speed

and doesn t let up until the final page.
