During the early and most dangerous years of the cold war, a handful of Americans, led by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, revolutionized spying and warfare. In great secrecy and beyond the prying eyes of Congress and the press, they built exotic new machines that opened up the Soviet Union to surveillance and protected the United States from surprise nuclear attack. Secret Empire is the dramatic story of these men and their inventions, told in full for the first time.

When the obituary of legendary computer game architect Matthew Sobol appears online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events that begins to unravel our interconnected world. This daemon reads news headlines, recruits human followers, and orders assassinations. With Sobol’s secrets buried with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed, it’s up to Detective Peter Sebeck to stop a self-replicating virtual killer before it achieves its ultimate purpose - one that goes far beyond anything Sebeck could have imagined.

Too much trash for too little gee'wiz
Revisado: 09-18-10
I'm not a prude, or at least I don't think I am, but the volume of profanity with emphasis on the F word was overwhelming. I understand how injection of some of the more colorful language sprinkled sparangly can give the characters the image the authnor wants us to imagine, but I was continuously distracted by all the language. The plot is interesting, but I find it rather far fetched -- good for a fiction novel. However, how did it end? I'm not really sure. Save your credit or dollars and move on to another. I am a fan of Leo LaPorte, referenced in another review, and disappointed that he recommended it. No stars for me.
