"The first Law of Cyber-Terrorism:
Anything that can be turned on under program control can be turned off; anything that can be controlled remotely can be thrown out of control remotely."

Destiny Allen doesn't even like video games. A Web designer for computer security giant Scenaria Systems, she finds herself enmeshed in a deadly game, a puzzle that blurs the boundaries between the virtual and the real.

The challenge: sort out the good guys from the bad before the lights go out.

A fast-paced technology thriller, Web Games is about real risks and virtual worlds, about Internet threats as close as tomorrow's nightly news, and about the ever-escalating warfare between black-hat hackers and modern society.
