The ASCENDANT by Drew Chapman *****

Very good book about fighting a war by computers. If you like computers and have a basic understanding of them you can get through the book easily. I liked the main character Garrett Reilly and most of his followers. Everyone was clearly distinct from each other.

China had a dissident among them, called the Tiger and no one really had any idea who it was but Garrett saw a change in the normal order of things watching stocks rise and fall. He has a gift of noticing discrepancies, and he slowly began to unwind what was going on and how to combat it. It seemed they wanted the US to start a war while they were provocating it.

I still cannot make a connection between "the tiger" and the rest of the story, doubt you will either but for a far fetched story line you won't mind for awhile. I have no idea why China was trying to provoke war and trying to connect that to 'the tiger'. Still good reading.

Would buy it.
