I am currently listening to this scary, techno-thriller that was lauded by Neil Gaiman. Actually, that was the reason that I decided to give it a listen. I'm not a huge Gaiman fan, but there's not a much more creepy book than his Coraline. Marcus is arrested immediately following the bombing of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. He and his 3 friends are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Being a techno-geek, Marcus is immediately suspect and held for 6 days while his family fears he is dead. When he is finally released, he decides to retaliate against the Department of Homeland Security or DHS. One thing leads to another, and his life becomes more and more complicated with the threat of imminent arrest if he strays too far. I've not yet finished the book, but despite the techie jargon I'm finding it spell-binding and scarily realistic. Take a look, we have it in hard copy and audiobook. It's gotten outstanding reviews by the "real" critics. By the way, there is sexual content in this book that makes the book for mature teens.
