The God's Eye View - Barry Eisler

Barry Eisler the good read on Markus Walter blog
good books on Markus Walter blog
NSA director Theodore Anders has a simple goal: collect every phone call, email, and keystroke tapped on the Internet. He knows unlimited surveillance is the only way to keep America safe.
Evelyn Gallagher doesn’t care much about any of that. She just wants to keep her head down and manage the NSA’s camera network and facial recognition program so she can afford private school for her deaf son, Dash.
But when Evelyn discovers the existence of an NSA program code-named God’s Eye, and connects it with the mysterious deaths of a string of journalists and whistle-blowers, her doubts put her and Dash in the crosshairs of a pair of government assassins: Delgado, a sadistic bomb maker and hacker; and Manus, a damaged giant of a man who until now has cared for nothing beyond protecting the director.
Within an elaborate game of political blackmail, terrorist provocations, and White House scheming, a global war is being fought—a war between those desperate to keep the state’s darkest secrets and those intent on revealing them. A war that Evelyn will need all her espionage training and savvy to survive. A war in which the director has the ultimate informational advantage: The God’s Eye View.

Okay, the heading is misleading. There isn't exactly much to read. It's a picture book and, as the title suggests, it's all about Nekro's art. The illustrations are simply exquisite. If you like what you see in the two blog entries Nekro has here, then this is a must buy.
  • Five years have passed since Nekro's debut in 13 Inches when he surprised us all with his monochromatic images, a bold terrain previously visited by authors like H.R. Giger that very few artists dare to explore. Nekro, however, has ventured back into this territory and has returned with a spectacular new volume which exhibits the significant evolution his artwork has undergone and confirms his place as one of today's most important fantasy illustrators. Without letting go of his particular style, Nekro has improved on all levels, his images overflowing with symbolism and detail which force the reader to stop and contemplate them while trying to decipher the many mysteries that are held within.
  • A spectacular edition with more than 60 previously unpublished illustrations, as well as a collection of his most recent book cover art and other collaborations, XIII includes an explanation of his creative process in addition to texts by Luis Royo and Victoria Francés, among others.

Hugh Howey Beacon 23, Markus Walter blog
For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It is a lonely job, and a thankless one for the most part. Until something goes wrong. Until a ship is in distress. In the twenty-third century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail. At least, they aren't supposed to.
I'm an avid reader, going through a book a week. For some time now, nothing's stood out. Until this week. Even if you are not a sci-fi fan, this is a very good read.
