"TERMINAL COMPROMISE"
by Winn Schwartau
A high tech thriller that comes from today's headlines!
"The Tom Clancy of computer security."
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Karen Forcht, James Madison University
"Terminal Compromise" is a highly praised novel about the inva-sion of the United States by computer terrorists.
Since it was first published in conventional print form, (ISBN:0-962-87000-5) it has sold extremely well world-wide, but thenagain, it never hit the New York Times Bestseller List either.But that's OK, not many do.
Recently, someone we know very well came up with a real brightidea. They suggested that INTER.PACT Press take the unprece-dented, and maybe slightly crazy, step to put "Terminal Compro-mise" on the Global Network thus creating a new category for bookpublishers. The idea is to offer "Terminal Compromise," andperhaps other titles at NOVEL-ON-THE-NET SHAREWARE(tm) rates tomillions of people who just don't spend a lot of time in book-stores. After discussions with dozens of people - maybe evenmore than a hundred - we decided to do just that. We know thatwe're taking a chance, but we've been convinced by hackers andphreakers and corporate types and government representatives thatputting "Terminal Compromise" on the net would be a fabulous stepforward into the Electronic Age, (Cyberspace if you will) andwould encourage other publishers to take advantage of electronicdistribution. (It's still in the bookstores, though.)
To the best of our knowledge, no semi-sorta-kinda-legitimate-publisher has ever put a complete pre-published 562 page book onthe network as a form of Shareware. So, I guess we're makingnews as well as providing a service to the world's electroniccommunity. The recommended NOVEL-ON-THE-NET SHAREWARE fees areoutlined later (this is how we stay in business), so please readon.
WE KEEP THE COPYRIGHTS!
"Terminal Compromise" is NOT being entered into the publicdomain. It is being distributed electronically so hundredsof thousands more people can enjoy it and understand just wherewe are heading with our omnipresent interconnectedness and thepotential dangers we face. INTER.PACT Press maintains all copy-rights to "Terminal Compromise" and does not, either intentionallyor otherwise, explicitly or implicitly, waive any rights tothis piece of work or recourses deemed appropriate.
