About the Book

Author Bio: Author David A. Kraft, a retired President of one of Simon & Shuster's largest business publishing divisions and an ex-columnist for the USNR, has lived through mergers, acquisitions and the horrors of downsizing for over 35 years. He has used this intimate knowledge of the corporate culture to write BigBro.com. Book Description: This is a story of high-level corporate greed. Jack Knox is Computer Security Director of ICCR, the world's largest computer service company, a multi-billion dollar operation that virtually controls the word-wide financial health of thousands of corporations. When profits dropped and growth rate sagged, ICCR, through its ruthless CEO, Martin Strange, mercilessly cut costs to satisfy Wall Street. Knox vigorously opposed the policy. He warned top management of the dangers ahead and was driven underground to fight for his beliefs. He used the only weapon at his disposal, control of ICCR's vast network of clients. He found himself all alone, pitted against the enormous power of the corporation, and soon against the whole country. Cornered, he resorted to financial blackmail. He anonymously threatened ICCR using the pseudonym of BigBro. Immediately his whole world fell apart as he was pulled into a web of intrigue, violence and notoriety. Using the power of the Internet, he hacked into client company files and brought the financial world to its knees. Knox became public enemy number one, sought by the police, FBI and the murderous agents of the savage Martin Strange. BigBro.com adeptly merges truth and fiction in one of the most enthralling cyber-thrillers of the year.
