01-01-00 by R. J. Pineiro (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).
“Pineiro’s enticing new novel [is] almost guaranteed to add more paranoia to the lives of the paranoid, yet, finally, to offer hope as well...” (Publishers Weekly)
At 1:01 a.m. on January 1, 2000, computer systems around the world are synchronized to unleash an apocalyptic virus. Susan Garnett, senior analyst at the FBIs high-tech crime unit, must uncover and disarm the virus before the countdown brings catastrophic results.
Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.
NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Edward Lewis. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
“Smart, well executed, and colorful, with engaging characters and...vivid dialogue...Pineiro has created something genuinely original and thoroughly entertaining.” (Booklist)

Susan Garnett, senior analyst at the FBI’s high-tech crime unit, traces the virus’ signal to its point of origin, an area near Tikal in the Yucatan, the site of one of the largest and most advanced cities of the ancient Maya. Susan and Cameron Slater, an anthropologist who has studied the Maya extensively, must draw on their combined knowledge of ancient glyphs and modern algorithms to crack the code hidden in the virus before the year 2000.
