Product Description
Product Description
Jason and Kenny needed investors for their startup company but when Italian drug smuggler Roberto Campioni makes them an offer they can't refuse, they get more help than they bargain for: the Feds and Interpol are watching, the smuggler's cartel created in violence during World War II is crumbling, and Roberto's henchmen, even with their love of Clint Eastwood movies, aren't the type of corporate advisers the pair dreamed of. And all Kenny wanted was an island vacation with his new girlfriend... ---------------- "Our other merchandise is sold by the gram, or by the kilo" said Luca. Carmine smirked at Jason. "Think you can sell software by the kilo?" Jason returned the smile. "I'll sell it any way they'll buy it." ---------------- "Master hacking, topless snorkeling, wine, war, and corporate intrigue spin smoothly in Larry Ketchersid's fast moving, high octane second novel, spanning two continents, two time periods, and all kinds of friendship, business, and love. If you like high-tech action served with cultural savvy and keen human insight, you'll snap up Software by the Kilo." -Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates and New New Media "In Software by the Kilo, Larry Ketchersid writes about romance like a romantic, about computers like a geek, about the Mafia like a Don, about war like he's been there. Perhaps, best of all, he writes about ordinary people as though he were one." - Robert Flynn, author of Echoes of Glory and Wanderer Springs

Very enjoyable and fun to read! A fiction based on historical, factual events that kept me entertained and up reading way past my bedtime to find out what happens next in the plot! I also found it quite entertaining/amusing how Larry perfectly captured the Italian way of life - something I've come to know very well having lived in Italy for some years now. There's also just enough WWII history mixed in to keep you entertained (and maybe even educate you a little) without going overboard. (I'm not a big fan of war history books...which I wouldn't classify this one as...it has just a taste, just enough to make sense and add meaning to the plot.)
I'd recommend this book to any type of reader, but ESPECIALLY to those that have worked in technology companies (especially startups) or have been to Italy or Greece, as you will relate to A LOT of the book. Happy reading!

Software by the Kilo
11 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wonderful new novel by this author. His knowledge and understanding of the material make for a very interesting read. The tie in of WW-II and present day history of Italy is extremely well done. The interaction between computer Geeks and the Mafia is both humorous and a bit frightening. I expect more of this genre from the author. The sooner the better.
