In The Silence: A book/plot that enlightens and inspires Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
David and Paul childhood friends all through high school part ways for more than twenty years. Both served in Vietnam, Paul as a foot soldier and David stationed out of harm’s way as an electronic technician. Their lives take up again when Paul, now a priest flies out to Colorado to confront David with some life-threatening news. It seems that not even prayer can help Paul find the forgiveness he is seeking. But, it is David that is in harm’s way, ever since he unlawfully obtained a Clipper Chip decoder box. The little black box contained the MYK78T integrated circuit (IC), the National Security Agency secretly developed to ease drop and unscrambled encrypted messages over telephone lines, just before the end of the Cold War in 1991.

Footnote: The US government claims to have declassified the Skipjack algorithm used in the chip set for the Chipper Chip Decoder box. If that were true, why then do hackers still use an 80-bit key and a symmetric cipher algorithm when they ransom computers? Don’t believe everything the government claims to be true…

From the Back Cover

David and Paul, childhood friends all through high school, part ways for more then twenty years. Both served in Vietnam, Paul as a Foot Soldier and David stationed out of harms way as an Electronic Communication Specialist. Their lives take up again when Paul, now a priest, flies out to Colorado to confront David with some life threatening news. It seems that not even prayer can help to overcome either of their journeys.

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2016
This book gave me everything I look for when reading. Friendship, mystery, evil trying to win over good, love, faith, hope, and the love of our God. This book brought tears to my eyes several times. Beautifully written.
