Code Red

Rogue Hackers #1

by John Minx

You Cannot Hack Your Destiny . . . A genius hacker is plagued by strange visions which haunt his dreams and hint at a mysterious destiny. Caught red-handed with US military designs, Jacob Wylde is sent to PROPS, a top secret research facility where a handful of tech criminals are trained for active duty as cutting-edge cyber spies. Here he meets Rebecca Kent, a committed hacktivist with secrets of her own and a burning desire to secure her freedom. As their relationship develops, dark forces are already at work, plotting the pair’s ultimate destruction. And it's only a matter of time before these fugitive cyberpunks must battle for survival and seek redemption on the fly. Code Red is an explosive thrill ride taking in the mountains of North Carolina, the frozen wastes of the South Atlantic, the wilds of Ireland, and the streets of Washington DC. Join Jacob and Rebecca today as these next-gen code warriors square off against the deep state and wage their own brand of cyber warfare - for fans of fast paced technothrillers, and character driven sci-fi alike.

About the author

Short-listed for the Michael Marks Awards, and To Hell With Publishing Prize, my novel A Study in Revenge was also a recent Kindle Scout winner.
In my personal life, I'm a bit of a nomad and have spent more than a decade on the road, crossing several continents in the process, with extended stays in China, Ethiopia, and Brazil. The one constant being a love of fiction writing - I'm as passionate as ever about composing novels on the hoof.
My imagination also likes to roam about and I've written taut domestic thrillers, stories about talking dogs with delusions of grandeur, mysterious deaths in Thailand, small town family dramas set in the North of England, and cyber spies on the lam (to name a few of them). All of these books are available to purchase via Amazon stores, with several also available through Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.

Reviews

[Claus · Rating 5 out of 5]

A real page turner!

Well written tech thriller with excellent buildup to each climax, and lastly a nice wrap up of everything at the end. Just above four and a half star, rounded upwards.

[Kurtis Mcdowell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Code Red is a good Teen Fiction novel. Easy read with enough background to keep the readers interest without going into technical details. Recommend this book for light easy reading.

[Conner Reagan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Cliche characters and bad/wrong technical details culminating in a ridiculous, Hollywood-esque hacker drama.

Brilliant, couldn't put it down
