Zero Day – A Novel

You might have noticed that every now and then I not only discuss mobile related things on the blog but also security related thoughts, which usually have a mobile edge as well. In that regard I very much enjoy listening to the weekly "Security Now" podcast with Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte which recently pointed me to "Zero Day", a novel by Mark Russinovich. So far I was always very disappointed by authors putting computer and security related issues in a novel as they were not deep enough into the technology to describe things realistically. Quite a different story here. I can't remember when I last read a contemporary 300+ page novel in less than a week. This one is a first in many years and thus highly recommended. The link above leads to Amazon where you can find more details. No need to repeat them here.
