Another 2009 Christmas present (thanks, Jasel!), and a new author for me. Cyberpunk and WW2 historical fiction makes for a jim-dandy nerd novel. A good book, especially if you're a techno-geek.

My reveiw in 50 words or less...
Combines WW2 cryptography and counterintelligence hijinks with a modern-day high-tech finance company start-up and defending it against hackers. Subtle humor, great characters, and Nazi gold. Two storylines that eventually merge, with a good ending to boot. Next vacation, I'm visiting Kinakuta and Qwghlm.
