Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Michael Warren Lucas certainly does know a thing or two (probably even three) about the inner workings of computer geeks (and unix like systems). Being one of those people myself, it was very interesting to read a crime story set at a computer conference, complete with correct details as to how people at such a conference think and act and generally do things.
Dale Whitehead is a technically very savvy administrator, but quite the introvert. He is happy, content and very capable when he can direct his thoughts towards a screen and the world behind it, but actually talking to and interacting with people in meatspace can be somewhat of a challenge. Dale travels to Ottawa to give a talk at the BSD North. It's not only his first time to present at such a big event, it's his very first time at any non-local event. Upon arriving, he learns that he's to share rooms with somebody. Needing to interact with his roommate at least a bit out of politeness is already bad enough, but even worse, when the conference starts the next morning his roommate drops dead in front of everyone...
