I'll start by admitting that I've just ordered this author's backlist, so obviously I enjoyed this book. I did feel that part of it was somewhat contrived, and the introduction of certain characters did reveal where it would end up. Regardless, the writing was excellent, and the characters had a depth that I haven't seen for quite awhile. Alex Treven is a patent attorney who finds his first "gig" client - the inventor of an encryption program called Obsidian - but is soon running for his life when the inventor and the patent office official are killed and all materials in the office turn up missing. Luckily, Alex' brother is a black ops specialist (see, a bit contrived) that steps into the situation to save his brother. Again, I liked this book, and hope that this author's other works are similar!
