Cartoonish plot. Obviously no knowledge of computer security, even though it's central to the plot. Characters so cliched as to be borderline offensive.

I'm withholding a rating because I read this under less than ideal circumstances: I borrowed the audio book on CD from my local library, and listened to it over several sessions, with long gaps in between. Combined with a few mistakes such that I listened to chapters out of order.

On the plus side, Woosley does know Baltimore, and her descriptions make it clear that she has experience with people with cancer, or at least she's done her research. And hey, who wouldn't want to see Babylonian gods firebomb the Chesapeake?
