Emma Lee Davis must delve deep into the past to find a weapon to end the Infowar that threatens to de-stabilize a computer-dependent global economy. Project manager of a tiny firm of cyber-sleuths, Emma scrambles to make the connections between a body washing up on a beach in Singapore, and the technical derring-do at a German university. She tracks a desperate hacker planning a unique software auction, a determined entrepreneur who will stop at nothing to acquire 'bleeding edge' software and tumbles onto a new generation of terrorists with their own agenda.

I devoured this book in two days, stopping only to eat and sleep, both of which pastimes figure prominently in the story. Emma, the protagonist, is an epicurean whose passions are good food, good clothes and good sex. She is also a dedicated computer geek with a political conscience and, thank goodness, a rye sense of humor. In one of the memorable scenes that captures her indomitable spirit, she performs a strip tease in public in order to create a diversion to help a colleague escape from mayhem.The action spans continents. from Singapore to Boston, with many stops in Europe -- particularly Germany -- along the way, giving a nod to the picaresque tradition of early fiction. The sometime exotic settings are so well drawn that you feel you are part of the scene, and the author describes in vivid detail what the characters are wearing, how they dress their hair, and their widely varied personal mannerisms. And there is action aplenty; you'll rarely find Emma key stroking, and in fact, stroking an 8-oared shell is perhaps the only strenuous activity that she does not undertake.
I found the description of computer sleuthing and the development of soft-ware weapons that would bring the cyber universe to its knees hit the right balance between technology and a rip-roaring good story. The reader learns the rudiments of covert action via computer, but is never burdened with technical detail; this is a novel, not a software manual. All the same, most of the two dozen characters are computer experts, some bent on perpetrating crimes; some trying to preventing them, and others like Emma whose abilities are sought by both sides.
The plot writhes along through a maze of suspenseful obstacles, both in Emma's professional and private lives, and only in the final pages do we learn what, if any, resolutions have occurred in either domain. I would recommend this book to any one who would enjoy meeting an all-american noble woman

The Shadow Warriors edition by Judith Copek Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The Shadow Warriors is set in the world of computer viruses and malware, and the intelligent and often quirky people who counter them and create them. It spans several genres mystery, thriller, and techno- both of those things. There's also a generous dose of romance. The narrator and main character is an attractive woman with a history, many male admirers, a lover of good food, fancy restaurants and hotels, and a classy dresser. She's also intelligent, computer-savvy, and inquisitive, traits which put her in the middle of a complex and dangerous situation.
Reminiscent of the famous Millennium Bug of 2000, the story centers around the efforts of a group of computer hackers, including the protagonist, Emma Davis, to retrieve some software which has gotten away from its creators and been turned into--possibly--a fearsome, world-stopping doomsday suite of computer programs. While this goes on, Emma must sort out her personal life with three men, one being her husband. The threat of digital disaster is a timely and entertaining notion, and there is no need to detail the course of the action here. It's enough to say there are murders, chases, narrow escapes, creepy suspects, intimate trysts (PG-13), and building tension enough for anyone looking for an absorbing experience.
While there is some amount of techno-speak it is minimal and will not disturb the reader who does not care to wallow in it. The heroine closely observes the dress of other characters and describes meals and hotels in considerable detail. It may be that female readers will particularly enjoy this aspect, but in fact this male reader did too--the author's descriptive powers are considerable. Many of the settings are described wonderfully well--those who have traveled widely, or would like to, will especially enjoy this aspect of the book. The author also has a fine ear for dialog.
The text is cleanly written and edited, and the small number of typos and grammar glitches that slipped through did not significantly detract from the experience. The story line was quite complex, what with the heroine's personal life intertwined with a large group of other significant characters, some with similar names. The reader should be prepared to make an effort to keep track of them.
The Shadow Warriors was a timely and fun book. The general reader would enjoy it, and I for one look forward to more by this talented, promising author.
