Terror Tracker chronicles the extraordinary true-life adventures of an investigative journalist who gave up his job and set out to penetrate the underworld of international terrorism. Alarming, riveting and entertaining, this is a fast-moving insider's account of the West's war on terrorism; it's also an inspiring tale of innovation and triumph in the face of stacked odds.Author Neil Doyle leads us into a world where underground bases, nuclear suicide bombers, secret terrorism factories, doomsday devices, espionage and imminent global economic meltdown are everyday affairs. He describes his efforts to sort myth from reality and his encounters with the colourful characters he meets along the way: spies, ex-spies, terrorists, hackers, editors, patriots, defectors, jihad warriors, scientists and militant clerics. At the climax of the book, he reveals details of a covert sting operation that resulted in the acquisition of a cache of video and audio tapes showing terrorist suspects attending secret meetings in London. Although he didn't know it at the time, Doyle's journey began in 1993, with an assignment to report on the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. That experience led him to resolve, on the afternoon of 11 September 2001, to abandon his job as an online news editor in favour of investigating al-Qaeda as a freelance operator. In what was a unique experiment and a dangerous gamble, he decided to go with his intuition. In the days following the 11 September attacks, he set out to trace the current whereabouts of Osama bin Laden - and succeeded. Terror Tracker also lifts the lid on the unseen battles now being waged between al-Qaeda computer hackers and their Western counterparts.

Review
This book reveals the unseen battles being waged between Al Qaeda computer hackers and their Western counterparts. It includes the astonishing story of an American housewife, turned cyber-siren, who uses internet chat rooms to lure terrorists to their deaths - quite literally. Both alarming and riveting, this is an insider's account of the West's war on terrorism. The author could well be described as one of a new breed of cyber-journalists. (U.S.I Journal 20050101)

I got through this book at a quick flowing pace.
It sets a background behind present day world trouble, with the author initially being around as a technical journalist as the seeds to present day global terrorism were sown.
We are brought up to date with insights into the activities of people considered extremists in the UK and the use of the World Wide Web on various fronts.
There is a chronology of events arount 9/11 that doesn't slip down the slope of conspiricy theories.
Well researched from good material and human sources giving the reader a good insight as to how things are and a good grounding should they wish to look further...

Neil Doyle's book Terror Tracker is an outstanding piece of research and investigative of journalism that exposes the workings of Al Qaeda. Doyle describes how he was twice able to locate the whereabouts of Osma bin Laden and writes about his role in the downfall of Abu Hamza? To show just how good this book is I have listed below some of the comments made by various newspapers. It is very rare that newspapers write such glowing comments.
