Breaking and entering [sound recording] : the extraordinary story of a hacker called 'Alien' / by Smith, Jeremy N.,author.(CARDINAL)589508; Ross, Jonathan Todd,narrator.(CARDINAL)561707; Recorded Books, Inc.(CARDINAL)340508;
Narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross.When she arrived at MIT in the 1990s, Alien wanted to study aerospace engineering, but she was soon drawn to the school's venerable tradition of high-risk physical trespassing: the original 'hacking.' Within a year, one of her hallmates was dead, two others were on trial, and two had been institutionalized. And Alien's adventures were only just beginning. After a stint at the storied, secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory, Alien was recruited by a top cybersecurity firm where she deployed her large cache of virtual weapons-and the trespassing and social engineering talents she first developed while 'hacking' at MIT. The company tested its clients' security by every means possible-not just coding, but donning disguises and sneaking past guards and secretaries into the C-suite. (She once got into the vault of a major bank by posing as its auditor.) Alien now runs her own boutique hacking outfit that caters to some of the world's biggest and most vulnerable institutions-banks, retailers, government agencies. Her work combines devilish charm, old-school deception, and next generation spycraft. In Breaking and Entering, cybersecurity finally gets the rich, character-driven, pacey treatment it deserves.

Iron Man: Mutually Assured Destruction / by Shand, Pat,Author.(CARDINAL)608526;
Tony Stark isn't a man who enjoys relaxing, but a weekend getaway with Pepper Potts is too appealing to say no to. The downtime is short lived, though, as Maria Hill, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, crashes the party, bringing with her information about a twenty-foot tall alien robot unlike anything scientists have ever seen. Having learned of the alien technology, Count Luchino Nefaria sees the potential to turn the robot into a weapon that serves Nefaria's own purposes. He recruits the Ghost to steal the robot, but when the alien technology is brought out of its dormant mode, it turns out to be too much for even one of Earth's most skilled hackers. Iron Man is overwhelmed, the Ghost is under the robot's control, and Nefaria is in over his head. With little time and even less help, Iron Man calls on War Machine and Rescue to prepare one last stand against an alien technology focused on one simple mission: the complete destruction of mankind.

Blindspace / by Szal, Jeremy,Author(DLC)no2022107979;
Vakov Fukasawa is a Reaper. An elite soldier injected with a dangerous drug called stormtech: the DNA of a genocidal alien race, the Shenoi. It makes him stronger, faster, more aggressive. At a price. A price that, if the House of Suns cult isn't stopped, all of humanity will have to pay. Vakov saved his estranged brother from the cult and killed their leader. Now they want his head on a spike, and they're hunting him and his friends down to get it, while continuing their mission to awaken the Shenoi and plunge the galaxy into mindless violence and chaos. There's a dangerous journey ahead, but Vakov and his misfit crew of eccentric aliens, troubled bounty hunters and rogue hackers will take any risk to stop the alien awakening. Only there's one risk Vakov hasn't shared: the one he himself poses. He got a terrifying glimpse of the Shenoi in the depths of interstellar space, and the violent nightmares he's suffered since suggest their DNA isn't just inside his body -- he might already be fighting them for his mind...
