Key West -southernmost point in the US, Mile Zero on Highway 1, for centuries refuge to pirates and wreckers and now home to a new crew of techno geek con artists who've set-up their HQ there. Paul and Chloe have the run of the sun-drenched island free to scam the enemies thet left in the silicone valley. They have also brought some tech know how to the island and their new crew have covered the island with big brother style cameras and sensors...but will the gadgets and games be enough when a rival crew hold a top-secret gang summit
"Dakan's sequel is just as much fun as the first volume, a great, rollicking story of crosses, double-crosses, and triple crosses among conflicting tribes of nerd grifters who are working Key West for every penny they can take out of the island. Mile Zero is a labyrinth of twists and turnabouts, filled with charming geek humor, thoroughly likable characters, and a relentless plot that you won't be able to put down."
--Cory Doctorow, co-editor of BoingBoing, best-selling sci-fi author.
"Ever since I didn't like a novel recommended by a friend, I've been hesitant to recommend fiction-it's my fault if you don't like it, I figure. But I feel pretty safe with both of these. Unputdownable."
--Seth Godin author of the New York Times bestseller Permission Marketing.
