Ulterior Motive

Finally, here arrived a comtemporary high-tech/computer-industry/intelligence based futurist fiction. There are so many micro-plots and big plots. Each player has ambitions and weakness for money and power. Still want a job at MegaSoft to become a puppy?

Loosely based on a certain software giant in Washington, this is a great, suspenseful read. While I very much enjoyed all of the intrigue of the politics, office hierarchy and sniping, what riveted me most was the insider's view of what it is like at a high-tech company such as Microsoft, sorry, Megasoft. As anyone who uses a computer knows, there is more information about us out there on the Internet than we would want anyone to know. The fact that it would be possible to be monitored by "Big Brother" is extremely scary, made even scarier by the fact that it is entirely possible. I read the book when it first came out and just re-read it this past weekend. It is definitely a keeper.

This was a great book! I like mysteries and I am a technical person. Thus this book was a great match. Couldn't put it down!

This was one fantastic read! Dan contacted me via e-mail and I was a bit pessimistic when I first received it. I decided to check out the reviews anyway, and with the description sounding pretty interesting, I decided to order it. I'm not sorry in the least as it was very difficult to put down. It was really a page turner. Jonathan Goodman worked for Megasoft and his life was good until he witnessed a murder of an employee in one of the parking garages. This murder happened only weeks after an attempted assassination of Megasoft's CEO, Jack Malcolm, who was running for President of the United States. One twist led to another; there were more twists and turns in the book that made it impossible to put down--you just had to keep reading to find out what happened.You won't be sorry you ordered this as it's a terrific book with a great plot. This would make a fantastic movie--without a doubt!

I was also e-mailed my Danny. Being a bit pessimistic about the way I was confronted, I decided to read about the book and read the reviews on "Ulterior Motive". Looked interesting enough so I decided to buy it. I'll tell you, I'm not sorry in the least as this is one of the best first novels I've ever read. Danny writes as though he's been writing for years. Had he not e-mailed me, I may never have heard about his book.The story tells of an employee at Megasoft who enjoys his job and co-workers totally. He and his friend, Kenny, are banging heads in a positive way in their great working relationship and close friendship. You feel their closenessas much as you fear for them when they uncover what's fishy at Megasoft. The founder, JackM, is running for president with a faithful following by his employees. You trust him. You respect him. You fear him. You ache for Jon as his wonderful world slowly slips away from him.Ulterior Motive is a must read. You'll be very disappointed if you don't because you're missing one hell of a read and one fast paced book.
