Publisher's Summary

How does a young woman from suburban Melbourne become America's public enemy number one?

When Gaby Baillieux releases the Angel Worm into the computers of Australia's prison system, freeing hundreds of asylum seekers, she sets off a chain reaction. These prisons are run by US companies, and so the doors of some five thousand American institutions have also opened. And to some watching eyes, the secrets of both countries threaten to pour out.

Was this a mistake? Or has the elusive Gaby declared cyberwar on the US, as part of the longstanding covert conflict between the two countries that has as its most outrageous act the CIA-engineered coup of 1975 – a coup so brazen we immediately forgot it as part of our great Amnesia?

Long winded

6 chapters in and the story hasn't started yet! We are still character building! It's more a story about an arrogant journalist his life, family, thoughts,friends, job history. Maybe it gets better but I like a book to grab me from the start.

Worst audio book

Only got halfway through this and it was six hours of waffle. Gave up in the end and couldn't listen any more. The most boring
book I have listened to.

The title of this book is perfectly apt

I've only just finished, and this is already the most forgettable read of my life

Don’t know what the book is talking about

Tried hard to patch up a hacker story as it was hyped, but I failed... the narrator was good tho
