Trouble and Her Friends

by Melissa Scott

Trouble and Her Friends Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

India Carless, alias Trouble, managed to stay one step ahead of the feds until she retired from life as a hacker and settled down to run a small network for an artists co-op.

Now someone has stolen her pseudonym and begun to use it for criminal hacking. So Trouble returns. Once the fastest gun on the electronic frontier, she has been called out of retirement for one last fight. And its a killer.

Less than a hundred years from now, the forces of law and order crack down on the world of the internet. It is the closing of the frontier. The hip, noir adventurers who got by on wit, bravado, and drugs, who haunt the virtual worlds of the shadows of cyberspace are up against the edges of civilization. Its time to adapt or die.

Synopsis:

Set 100 years in the future, this is a cyberpunk SF novel about intrigue and adventure in the virtual reality of the computer networks, at the moment when the law is cracking down on a new generation of computer criminals. Someone has stolen Trouble's identity on the nets and she, the greatest hacker of them all, returns from retirement to track down and confront the impostor.
