What if a ship carrying a cargo of stolen Russian missiles bound for Iran was mysteriously hijacked? What if Israel was secretly behind the hijacking? What if the guy who fills the vending machines in the office break room figured the whole thing out?
Based on actual events, OPEN SOURCE is a geopolitical thriller that follows Casey Shenk, a Savannah, Georgia, vending route driver with an insatiable curiosity, as he uncovers a black-market arms deal-gone-bad and the truth behind a high-level plot to shape world politics. Casey draws his evidence from open sources; by reading beyond the headlines. When his theorizing catches the attention of the wrong people and anonymous threats turn deadly, Casey looks to Susan Williams, an intelligent, but insecure, analyst for the New York-based consulting firm Intelligence Watch Group for help. The two soon find themselves in the crosshairs and fighting to save their own lives, while preventing an even greater injustice that could affect the balance of power in the Middle East and plunge the world headlong into the next Great War.

A well written novel by an author who knows his stuff.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 febbraio 2018

Although this is a novel, the author must have had a lot of experience in Intelligence analysis work and the procedures used to get information. This includes getting information from open sources, which are usually newspapers or other public media available in foreign countries. Is this book an exaggeration of real intelligence work? Yes, but also an excellent novel that keeps you reading. One of those rare books that is so interesting (IMHO), that you don’t want to turn the pages too fast. I did not want the book to end. I did not notice any anti Jewish theme as one reviewer mentioned. I thought the book projected the work of various foreign intelligences agencies fairly well.

A good conspiracy tale.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 2 febbraio 2014

Acquisto verificato

Casey Shenk is a delivery driver who refills vending machines around Georgia. He takes interest in current affairs and in his spare time writes a blog. He is fascinated by a story, the highjacking of the MV Baltic Venture by pirates. Using open sources anyone can find on the internet, Casey tries to find what is going on that mainstream media is not telling the public.

The plot for this book is very good. It is a good conspiracy tale that builds nicely as different characters are fed into the story. It is rather involved and gets you thinking because it is so plausible. This novel is about geopolitics, terrorism and rogue elements fighting for their cause.

Casey puts all of these little snips of open source information found on the internet together and joins up the dots. Through his persistence and research, Casey finds out who the pirates are and what is really going on.

I enjoyed reading Open Source because although this is fiction, it is not far fetched. These sort of dodgy dealings by rogue elements go on all the time. I got to the end of this book and thought, "I wonder just how much of this goes on?" as the general public sleeps happily in their beds. This is a good thought provoking read that I will vote 4 stars.

The perils of a common blogger

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 agosto 2011

Acquisto verificato

Casey Shenk is an ordinary man, living an ordinary life, with a sub-ordinary job, two ordinary friends and one unusual passion: blogging about world politics. He speaks only English, has a rather pedestrian education and loves spending time in lower class bars: but he is curious about the world he lives in, he doesn't tire easily, and enjoys solving puzzles. The problem is that he also likes publishing his opinions and findings on the internet.

This is dangerous.

Intrigued by a bizarre news item, he uses his Google-fu to scour the public internet for clues and explanations; based on what he finds in open sources he assembles a plausible hypothesis, and posts it on his blog. The hypothesis is more right than wrong, and powerful people take notice; some see him as a problem to be solved once and for all, while others see him as a potential resource to be used.

"Open Source" is a good and unusual thriller. In contrast to the trend of ever more frantic action, the book returns to the humane pace of yesteryear, allowing the characters to eat, drink, sleep, think and work. The incipient relationship between the two main characters is well handled, and a joy to follow. The characters move at their own pace in a rich environment. The plot unfolds gradually, making the reader wish it would never end.

This book could be the beginning of an excellent series; I am looking forward for a continuation, or indeed for any new book by Matthew Frick.

(Scale: * - unreadable, couldn't finish. ** - bad or very bad, but readable. *** - good work, well worth its price. **** - very good in its genre. ***** - timeless masterpiece.)

Be careful what you look up on the net.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 luglio 2012

As said by a previous review this would make a first rate screenplay or film.
Perhaps the author could add a little more weight to the characters The violence is there but not overly excessive or graphic.It was also refreshing to note that sex was not used as a page turner where it could so easly have been used.
Overall a good read for a freebee.
