“ The Silence has the intrigue of John Grisham, the spice of Mickey Spillane and the technical aspects of Tom Clancy.”—Tom Quinn, Former CEO, Design Systems, Inc "A fascinating book that gives the reader a glimpse into warfare of the future. The outcome of future wars will be determined far in advance of the actual conflict. This is but a preview of things to come.”—Paul Broadbent, Former Sr. CIA Defense Intelligence Program Manager “A major cyberterrorism event will occur in 2003, … one that will disrupt the economy and bring the Internet to its knees.”—John Gantz, Chief Research Officer of IDC "This chilling new novel links the world's increasing dependency on the Internet to vulnerabilities that can be exploited for evil. This launches John Mariotti as a new master of the genre."—Calvin Myer, Co-founder WorldWide Ltd. “We always prepare to fight the last war but never the next war… this should be the wake-up call to America. Mariotti is blowing the bugle for all of us.”—John Ellingson, CEO, Edentification "Mariotti has created a fast moving thriller full of vivid characters who hook the reader’s emotions and find a place in their heart. The good guys are good; the bad guys are awful; and the women are terrific. It's hard to believe this is Mariotti's first novel"—John Grom, CEO, Executive Search
