How do you hide state secrets when teenage hacktivists have as much quantum computing power as the government? Alexander Hopkins is about to find out on what should have been an uneventful red-eye flight from Russia. Nothing is what it seems in this heart pounding short-story from international best-selling author Peter Cawdron.
Review 4 of 5 Stars
Technology has advanced and the U.S. government behaves like a police state in this interesting short story by Peter Cawdron. The main character in this story, Alexander Hopkins, is having a really rough day. He meets a beautiful Russian model on his trip home, is confronted and harassed by security personnel after arriving at the airport and then the day goes straight to Hell from there. This story is an action-packed ride. For me, however, this story simply wasn’t long enough. I enjoyed it, but am used to reading longer things from this author and would have liked to see the story developed more. That being said, Peter Cawdron originally set out to write this for a magazine so there may have been a word-count limit of which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story itself. The premise isn’t that far-fetched, which has got to make you think.

Sounds like fun. Now if there was only an 8th day of the week I could read all this great stuff!
Tell me about it. I’m just getting to books that have been on my list for a year.
Yeah. I have a kindle that is full of samples, free downloads during a giveaway, and awesome $.99 sales (by the way maybe pick mine up and offer a review! shameless I know!!! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N16R1B6 ). My kindle is so packed I am almost considering one of the tablet wannabe fires or something because they are faster and easier to organize. Still love my kindle keyboard. IF I won the lotto I’d buy a small cabin near a remote lake and sit on the dock, drink coffee, and read and write ALL DAY! I could survive without TV and movies. But a life without book??? That would be terrible. But as I say that I just saw a new trailer for Interstellar. So…yeah TV I guess could hang around.
Shameless self-promotion is necessary for writers. I’ll check it out.
