DETROIT ? MITechNews.Com Editor Mike Brennan will be a guest Saturday at 4:15 pm on WJR Newsradio 760AM to discuss his new cyber crime novella, Cyber Styletto, which paints a startling picture of the cyber war raging on the Internet today.

Brennan will be joined in the segment by Richard Stiennon, a noted cyber security expert, who served as technical advisor to the writing team, which also included Gian DeTorre, an award winning fiction writer and literary critic. They will be interviewed by Gary Baker and Foster Braun on the InternetAdvisor.Net a nationally syndicated program.

What?s more, Cyber Styletto was featured this week in WWJ Newsradio 950AM?s Great Lakes Technology and Innovation Report. You can link to that story by clicking on GLITR

The book takes actual cybersecurity attacks using sophisticated malware, think the recent attack on Iran?s nuclear programs with the malware named Stuxnet, as well as social engineering techniques to imagine what an attack might be like in the United States.

?Cyber Styletto is a new genre in literature, bringing the modern, secretive world of cyber espionage together with a good, old-fashioned thriller,? DeTorre said. ?I hope our audience has as much fun reading it as we had producing it.?

Said Stiennon: ?Sometimes it is difficult to explain the complexity of advanced cyber attacks. Cyber Styletto succeeds in highlighting the potential for abuse of our networked world by bad actors; and it does so in an entertaining good read.?

Added Brennan: ?When I started working with Richard more than a year ago on what we thought would be a great science fiction tale, we had no idea that when we published it our fiction would turn to fact. Our plot and many of the characters are ripped from today?s headlines. The novella morphed from a good story to a great read when Gian joined the team. We believe we have written a story every cyber security professional and government policy makers should read carefully.?

The eBook sells for $2.99 and is available at Smashwords.Com. The paperback is available for $13.37 at LuLu.Com

The authors plan an illustrated paperback version by late summer.
