A really tense and gripping series debut, I kept reading because I had to know how it ended. For this lifelong committed malophobe the shameless, brazen shilling for Apple got pretty tiresome, pretty quick though. I don't know if the author actually WAS paid to make the techical superiority of all things Apple a major plot point, but it certainly FELT that way by the end. A drinking game involving a shot every time an Apple product was praised would be very dangerous.
That aside, the actual story was great, and I'm hoping the next one has less overt advertising in it. Perhaps the security and privacy advantages of FOSS can be integral to that storyline instead. :)
