> "Terminal Compromise" is a highly praised novel about the invasion of the
> United States by computer terrorists.
>
> Since it was first published in conventional print form, (ISBN: 0-962-87000-5)
> it has sold extremely well world-wide, but then again, it never hit the New
> York Times Bestseller List either.  But that's OK, not many do.
>
> Recently, someone we know very well came up with a real bright idea.  They
> suggested that INTER.PACT Press take the unprecedented, and maybe slightly
> crazy, step to put "Terminal Compromise" on the Global Network thus creating a
> new category for book publishers.  The idea is to offer "Terminal Compromise,"
> and perhaps other titles at NOVEL-ON-THE-NET SHAREWARE(tm) rates to millions
> of people who just don't spend a lot of time in bookstores.  After discussions
> with dozens of people - maybe even - more than a hundred - we decided to do
> just that.  We know that we're taking a chance, but we've been convinced by
> hackers and phreakers and corporate types and government representatives that
> putting "Terminal Compromise" on the net would be a fabulous step forward into
> the Electronic Age, (Cyberspace if you will) and would encourage other
> publishers to take advantage of electronic distribution.  (It's still in the
> bookstores, though.)

> NOVEL-ON-THE-NET SHAREWARE Fees For The People:
>
> The suggested donation for individuals is $7.  If you hate Terminal Compromise
> after reading it, then only send $6.50.  If you're really, really broke, then
> tell a hundred other people how great it was, send us a rave review and post
> it where you think others will enjoy reading it, too.  If you're only a little
> broke, send a few dollars.  After all, this is how we stay in business.  With
> each registration, we will also send a FREE! issue of "Security Insider
> Report," a monthly security newsletter also published by Inter.Pact Press.
