Description
Just as a major environmental summit is about to start in Hamburg, a massive storm hits the city. When the flood waters recede, a headless torso is found washed up. Initially, Jan Fabel fears it may be another victim of a serial rapist and murderer who stalks his victims, then dumps their bodies in waterways around the city. But the truth of the situation is far more complex.
Fabel’s investigations lead him to a secretive environmental Doomsday cult called “Pharos”, the brainchild of a reclusive, crippled billionaire, Dominik Korn. Fabel’s skills as a policeman are tested to their utmost as he finds himself drawn into an unfamiliar, high-tech world of cyberspace. And he quickly realises that he is no longer the hunter, but the hunted.

good
Enjoyable, but not my favourite if the series. Two reasons, one, the themes aren't the most interesting to me (environmental activism and cyber crime), and two, Roman. Poor Roman. I did the conversion, and he would have been 400lbs. Which is a very big guy, but nowhere near the My 600lb Life level that he is written as, unable to move for more than a few minutes without almost suffocating. He represented the stereotype of the sad, repellant, morbidly obese computer nerd, sickly, slovenly, pathetic, but also a total douchebag who looks down on the peasants he is forced to interactwithin real life. He's written so that you can practically smell him through the page. It made me extremely uncomfortable. He was dehumanized, made into a literally gross caricature. (And the other thing is, unless he's 4'10", there's a fair chance that he shouldn't be so totally helpless.) It was depressing. Oh, oh, abd then there's the way he was voiced! I listened to this one, and the narrator is great, but dang, Roman literally sounded like a wheezing, snuffling pig. He practically oinked. Ouch.
Ok, getting off my soapbox, even though the themes weren't my thing, this was still a good book. Excellent writing and cleverly put together plot that moved quickly.
The only thing is, because it deals with technology, it inevitably gets dated almost instantly. It's an interesting picture of a very specific point in time.
