When Seth accidentally listens in on the work of a computer criminal he blogs about it on his website. Within a day of encountering the criminal, he is framed for operating one of the world's largest networks of infected computers. Confused, Seth flees underground and attempts to prove his innocence. What follows is an exciting journey through the world of cyber-crime.

Editor review: 

Rice tea is an action novel for the IT connoisseur. The book is well written and contains lots of action; the plot is simple and easy to follow. The only problem is that at times it contains too much specialized vocabulary making it quite difficult to understand what is really going on. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to learn a little bit more about the mysterious world of computer hacking.

I read it in one go and found it very good. It moves along at a cracking pace and is very informative on the ins and outs of the hacking world too.

A tech filled thriller. It

A tech filled thriller. It opens you up to the possibilities, both negative and positive, of using the internet. A worthy read.

I was so pulled into this story that I forgot about everything. Very well written. Thumbs up.

It is been just a year that I have been graduated and I already missed my student life soooo much. I wasn’t computer major but “Rice tea” is a very enjoyable story to read. It reminds me of those good memories that I had while I used to live in the campus.
