Quoted as "the best psychological thriller writer around" by The Times, Jeffery Deaver shows his strength as a magnificent author of unprecedented status. This is currently my favourite book of all time. This is an amazing book showing off Deaver's skill for multiple false ending, and is a great thriller. It accounts a man known in the cyber world as Phate. He is the best hacker the world has ever seen, and has created a programme that allows him to seize root in anyone's computer, without them knowing, looking, but leaving nothing behind. He takes people identities, and is one of the greatest in social engineering. He can take any information about you and destroy your life. This is the monster the Police Computer Crimes Unit is trying to tag. Phates character is written with the greatest of care, and is one of the best written characters I have witnessed in a book. The CCU decide to call in one time partner of Phate, Wyatt Gillette, imprisoned because of a charge against him for breaking the standard 12 security system. He was a great hacker, but decided not to follow Phates path, instead getting married and planning children. This is the best thrill ride out there. The problems faced by every member of the CCU crew, whom you feel connected to due to the great writing, are amazingly written. You can feel the pain the characters feel as they are yet again lead astray by this mysterious Phate. The motto is that one day, computers will be yet another tool in the murder of human beings, and this emotion and epic dialogue is outstanding. I will be watching out for the forthcoming film, and another novel Jeffery decides to bring out.
The sick minded murder has been taken over by his computer, and the desire to go online. He bases all his kills on a game called Access, where on an anniversary of a famous person, the game coordinators selected a killer, who had to try and kill anyone they could. Stabbing someone in the heart was known as the greatest form of access.

This is yet another book for the Wirral Paperback of the Year. This is an excellent read, for young adults and adults alike. Excellently written, the emotion is captured well, as well as the gripping storyline and thrilling plot. The plot is as follows. *SPOILERS* A young boy, Kyle is having problems at home. His mother has left him and his dad is under the thought that his mum will return. Kyle unsuspectingly takes a train with his school on a trip. This is a dreadful mistake and causes pain and frightening nightmares. The train crashes. As he wanders around, the only one conscious, he realises he can travel into the minds of his friends, and discover their greatest nightmares and secrets. These nightmares are well crafted short stories on their own, as so when you put them together you get an amazing mix of science fiction, horror and adventure.
These stories include quite strange and distressing scary theories if you like, which may scare younger readers. I recommend this for teenagers, who know how to respond to scenes presented within the pages of this book. This however is still one of the best stories out there, and also doubles as a great short story collection that adults as well as teens will thoroughly enjoy.
