If we were on Give Us a Clue, then Dead Entry would be denoted by the symbolic language for book and play, as it is very much the book of the recent three-part BBC Television series. Basically computer espionage, but much more besides to interest non-computer buffs, an increasing proportion as the initial fad has faded. Plenty of action, double agents, topical environmental issues, and the inevitable saccharined sentimentality as 'Avery is forced to choose between loyalty to his country or his own flesh and blood.'
