[Chris Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book. It’s rare to find a novel that captures both the suspense of a great thriller and the realism of someone who’s lived the world he’s writing about. The story is gripping, the plot tight, and the technology frighteningly real. Bob Gourley’s background in cyber and defense shines through on every page—this is fiction that feels possible, even probable. A fantastic, highly readable debut!
