Netwars: The Code
netwars: The Code - Compilation, for the first time all six episodes of the serial cyber thriller appear in one collection.
-- Hackers. Cyber warfare. Terrorism. Forget Edward Snowden and the NSA. Do you really know who's monitoring your data?
-- Welcome to the Deep Web. Those parts of the internet no search engine explores. The place where you can buy anything. Drugs, children, weapons. Anyone can do it. And get away free.
-- It all starts with a plane crash. Anthony Prince, head of PrinceSec, a firm that provides high-tech security for the government and major corporations, dies in an airplane accident when crossing the English Channel. Responsible for Prince's death is a hacker named Strider, whose real name is Scott Mitchell. During his day job at the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) Mitchell uses legitimate means to get the bad guys. As Strider, he pushes the boundaries of the law to punish them. On the night of Anthony Prince's death, PrinceSec suffers a cyber-attack. Passwords, secrets, security measures to high profile targets are stolen. When the NCCU is called to assess the damage, they find a link between Prince and a criminal hacker group called Black Flag.
The race is on for Mitchell to protect his identity as Strider and to stop Black Flag before the next attack.
-- netwars: The Code is part of a transmedia project based on real facts and cyber-attack scenarios.

I loved both books, ‘Netwars: The Code’ and ‘Netwars: Down Time’, from start to end - story, characters, pace, everything. They were two books that were so vivid to me, I remember them as my own memories, as if I had been part of the story. Awesome.
