Catches you at the start and never lets go. The plot has twists and turns all the way to the end. I'm pretty good at guessing the outcome and what happens to the main characters but not this time. A fun book if you're in the tech business and were around in the heyday of the 90s. Even more fun if you lives in Silicon Valley, the locations are well researched and described exactly as they are.Product details

Web of Betrayal There No Hiding in Cyberspace Clare F Price 9780990372301 Books Reviews
I totally loved this book! I remember 1994 very vividly as it is the year I got married. AOL sent out disks to every one on the planet and most of us had not clue how the internet would change our lives. The multiple story lines are well done and easy to follow. The plot twits and turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I usually figure stuff out before the end of the book but I fell for almost every misdirection.
The main character is believable and relate able. You care about him and you really want the "good" guys to win and the Killer to be caught. Peter is not an infallible hero. He makes mistakes and he suffers. Makes the whole book more enjoyable.
1994, wow, it does not seem that long ago and the way the internet is now is amazing, I can't even begin to imagine how it will be in the future. I was so thrilled to get my first computer, I do remember that there was a lot out there but I generally used Geocities and chat rooms. I was not into the why's and wherefore's of how computers worked, QR codes or any of the technical stuff, I knew that I could do exciting things on the internet and I wanted to learn more.
Web of Betrayal is a story that takes the reader back in time when the internet was young. A story that gets you right from the beginning and doesn't stop. Lots of technical terminology, written by an author who definitely knows her stuff. Then you throw in the the characters, which are very real and believable, and you have a story that is not only about the dawning of the internet, but of murder and duplicity and the need for revenge. I think that if you are an internet geek like I am then you will thoroughly enjoy this book. I highly recommend it!!
A copy was received for review and there was no monetary compensation.
Heading into the historical background for the Internet is an important activity, so immediately I checked out the author's background... Nearly all of my professional career involved the use of, or development of computer systems, so I wanted to also learn from this book about what I personally saw happening... I got a little more than I bargained for, because I spent the first pages trying to figure out who the companies actually were in the battle... LOL
In any event, the author's credentials were out there loud and clear for me and after I got passed her not using real company names, I sunk deep into the story and loved it! One ingenious action the author provided in the book is the inclusion of QR codes to pull part of the time period directly to the reader... .
It only took the prologue to point out that Toby Eastman is a very dangerous man. Note that it is 1993 and he's in Colombia, due to his impending connection to drug lord Enrique Valdez. The fact that Arno, who had made the arrangements for the meet, was burned that night, slowly, was not part of the plan. You'd think that would have made him just a little concerned, wouldn't you?
Toby Eastman is a man you enjoy hating... He's willing to do anything to finish what he's started and a main revenge plan is what he's involved in now... It was ironic to me that what began to happen was due to his own actions. He'd sent a disk to a former colleague who he trusted, with only a statement that it was confidential. The man had thought it was a puzzle like they had always worked on! So when the man received it, he sent it on to several others of his "boys..." Individuals who had been working with him for quite some time.
Soon, they all started dying, seemingly accidentally...
It was January, 1994, when Peter Ellis hits Las Vegas and immediately realized how much he hated the town, thinking it was going to be a long three days! He was struggling after a fiasco had occurred the previous year. That it happened was bad enough...
That it involved his sister was worse... I'm not saying anything more about this one--she doesn't deserve it! LOL! You'll quickly find out more about her and Peter during their early years... and find out just how cruel she is!
That she was involved in Peter's being accused of a fabricated story was, in my opinion, due to her, even if the book really didn't say so... And now Peter was back to square one, rebuilding his reputation as a news reporter. Fortunately, his immediate supervisor was doing as much as he could to support him...
But then his girlfriend dumped him. She had tried to stick by him, but he had started to drink and Jessica had decided to move on... Only to become involved with an important player in the major stories he was soon to be following! Because he's been placed back on covering the CES trade show. David Lockwood was the keynote speaker and why he was here...
It may sound like Peter is on the way out, but, far from it! While you watch him, he picks up pieces of information and ultimately learns about three deaths that are linked to the activities that were now happening. Then, at this show, he was the only individual who pieced together Lockwood's presentation. Tracked him down and broke the lead story on his work!
Peter was Back! But that was only the beginning...and there were enemies out to see him fail! His sister was watching every move he made for her own personal reasons. Jessica's new lover was a major player at Draco Communications who was slowly moving to a top position... And let's not forget our major villain...he's got it in for Peter because he picked up on the murders and is following a trail...
But then there is MediaBuilders who are fighting to be at the top against Draco and some are fighting for both sides. In fact, you'll have a hard time keeping track of who may be involved because the players are, or have been, involved during previous activities. The one thing that comes out, of course, is that those who are honest move to make things right! And that's what readers will enjoy watching and trying to decide in advance what will happen!
Peter was there to meet Alex Kavanaugh. He already knew Alex knew little about the actual technological advances now underway...but...this was the guy who Jessica was now involved with, apparently pretty seriously. Alex was loving, and didn't mind, showing, that he enjoyed having Peter in the position of the jilted lover... Peter was still trying to get Jessica back at that point...
And then Peter met Jordan and he found himself falling in love for the first time, but of course there were also issues between them to be solved... Such as her love of music...
Lots going on in this one--a thriller that will entice you from many directions to both enjoy and watch as corporate deals play a deadly part in bringing the World Wide Wed to all of us to enjoy! Check this one out! You'll be glad you did...

An engrossing thriller with compelling characters. A real cliffhanger. Fascinating look at the dawn of the Internet. Highly recommend.
exciting story interesting info about tech industry good character development
I liked this book from beginning to end. It kept me enthralled and interested in the characters throughout. I especially liked how the author inserted bible references and that it wasn't overly violent or vulgar,
I thoroughly enjoyed the plot throughout. I couldn't put it down and thought the author did a marvelous job of developing the characters, creating suspense and pulling it all together at the end. As an avid reader of suspense novels, I highly recommend this book.
Catches you at the start and never lets go. The plot has twists and turns all the way to the end. I'm pretty good at guessing the outcome and what happens to the main characters but not this time. A fun book if you're in the tech business and were around in the heyday of the 90s. Even more fun if you lives in Silicon Valley, the locations are well researched and described exactly as they are.
