tech, futuristic thriller The plot is OK The second half of the book is definitely better than the first half As a techie sci fi book, you figure that the characters won t really have much depth, but woof The basic writing style is the weakest part of The Last Firewall, but it was worth reading.The book is set in 2035, and the singularity has happened computers are sentient Some of the plot is

of Singularity series and I enjoyed this book, too But I was said to see that ELOPe was not recovered by any chance If I were Mike, I would do my best to give ELOPe a second chance maybe it makes the third chance lol whatever, I miss ElOPe The good news is that in the fourth book there is an A.I long believed to be dead What I really about William Hertling s books is the fact it gives me a hint

...Alright I ve had enough Skipping the last Everybody, read his Kill Process and nvm the Singularity series It s like he s practising writing And I do mean that in terms of prose, plot, characterization, worldbuilding and originality.My favorite of the trilogy Hertling relaxes into his writing, and this one caught me upthan the first two I ve always half jokingly said I ll be the first in line when they invent internet brain implants I stand by my previous position.This is definitely gets a WOW If you like futuristic sci fi then you are sure to love this Worth every moment of reading and it kept me absorbed from start to finish.Two and a half stars, but for the inclusion of the Suarez Naam building as an appropriate nod to the author s betters.
