A Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph and Guardian Book of the Year When
Gaby Baillieux, a young woman from suburban Melbourne, releases the
Angel Worm into the computers of Australia's prison system,
hundreds of asylum seekers walk free. Worse: the system is run by
an American corporation, so some 5,000 US prisons are also
infected. Doors spring open. Both countries' secrets threaten to
pour out, Was this intrusion a mistake, or has Gaby declared
cyberwar on the US? Felix Moore - known to himself as 'Australia's
last serving left-wing journalist' - has no doubt. Her act was part
of the covert conflict between Australia and America that dates
back decades. While Gaby goes to ground, Felix begins his pursuit
of her in order to write her story; to save her, and himself, and
maybe his country.
