About this listen

It's two years after the Zero Day attacks, and cyber-security analyst Jeff Aiken is reaping the rewards for crippling Al-Qaida's assault on the computer infrastructure of the Western world. His company is flourishing, and his relationship with former government agent Daryl Haugen has intensified since she became a part of his team.

But the West is under its greatest threat yet. A revolutionary, invisible trojan that alters data without leaving a trace—more sophisticated than any virus seen before—has been identified, roiling international politics. Jeff and Daryl are summoned to root it out and discover its source. As the trojan penetrates Western intelligence, and the terrifying truth about its creator is revealed, Jeff and Daryl find themselves in a desperate race to reverse it as the fate of both East and West hangs in the balance.

A thrilling suspense story and a sober warning from one of the world's leading experts on cyber-security, Trojan Horse exposes the already widespread use of international cyber-espionage as a powerful and dangerous weapon, and the lengths to which one man will go to stop it.

What made the experience of listening to Trojan Horse the most enjoyable?

The subject matter is of interest and relevance, mainly surrounding one of the most sophisticated real life computer viruses in recent years. It was good to find out what the main character has been up to since the last book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Trojan Horse?

The escape of the female character from the bad guys.

What three words best describe Johnny Heller’s voice?

Not very appropriate.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I did want to learn what happened next.

Any additional comments?

It wasn't quite as riveting as the first book. Unfortunately, the narrator's pronunciation of several words was wrong, his characterisation/accents was also poor. However, I will probably get the next book in the series.

Not as exciting as his first book, Zero Day...

As a regular user of Marks awesome tool set care of MS; PSExec probably being the most popular, I couldn't wait to listen to this. Was he as good a story teller as programmer? I did get shades of a Tom Clancy book but I felt he didn't spend as much time getting into the nitty-gritty. Could have been padded out a bit more but it brings up a lot of points about modern day cyber terrorism. A good yarn non the less. I would recommend as compulsive reading along with Ghost in the wire



Spoiler alert! there is a bonus at the end of this book that you don't usually get at the end of books.

All too farmiliar

I really liked this story even if it is a little similar to other stories by this author, however saying that it was much easier to listen to and hard to stop listening to it.
All in all worth a listen.

I kept losing sleep with this one,
