Dead Beef is a terrible title. I wasn’t too sure I’d want to read it although I’ve read Eduardo Suastegui’s books, so decided to take a chance.

It turns out the books is pretty darned good, and I’ll read Pink Ballerina (another terrible title) since it’s part of the same series called Our Cyber World.

Enough on the titles. Mr. Suastegui can title his books however he wants.

My duty as a reviewer is to assure anybody considering reading this book they will not be disappointed. I can do that. The author has an extensive knowledge of computing and hacking. While I know some of what he describes is not today’s reality, he can make it believable and I trust his future vision is pretty accurate.

I also like the main character, Martin Spencer, being surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women. But like in the later Bond movies, they’re very dangerous women and do a heck of a job protecting Martin while he goes to cyber war against his best friend, Julian. Why is Julian being the bad guy here? He might not have much to say about it, but he still dukes it out via internet, satellite, and keyboard to his best ability. Will Martin save the world despite his friend’s best efforts?

Read the book to find out.
