Hacked: The First SimCavalier Trilogy
Books 1, 2 and 3 of the SimCavalier series... all in one place!
London, 2045. Cameron Silvera, aka the SimCavalier, is a hacker legend in the cybersecurity world. In real life, Cameron leads the Argentum Associates white hat infosec team, known to world governments and global conglomerates for their ability to bring hacked systems back online fast. It’s fun work, and Cameron is at the top of her game.
When the City of London Bank calls in the Argentum team, it feels like just another routine job. The Speakeasy Worm has threaded its way into critical systems across the world. Cameron cracks the code easily, but there's trouble ahead. Encoded deep within the virus itself is a hidden message addressed to the SimCavalier. A global crime syndicate is taking aim at the person who has crossed them once too often.
With a traitor in the camp and a journalist on her tail, it’s only a matter of time before Cameron’s identity is compromised. She barely overcomes a hurricane of cyberattacks before the syndicate brings the battle to her in London. Betrayed by trusted team members and pursued by a shadowy mastermind, Cameron has no way to prevent deadly attacks on her home and her family.
As the syndicate gathers new and ever more dangerous clients who threaten to hold the whole world to ransom, Cameron is in a race against time to take down their network in an explosive finale.
Read Cameron’s first three adventures in this new collection. “HACKED” includes the original books Bitcoin Hurricane, Hacked Future and Tangled Fortunes.
“A believable but engagingly different future that I want to keep exploring.”
“The story pulls you along effortlessly.”
"So real, so grounded in the possible, and so well written that it is easy to forget you're reading about a future that has not happened yet, it feels like a contemporary thriller, while all the time it is slipping further under your skin."
Discover the SimCavalier adventures in ebook, audiobook and paperback worldwide.

About the author
Kate Baucherel
37 books9 followersI'm a scifi nerd whose day job is speaking, writing and consulting on emerging technologies like AI, realities and blockchain. Combining the two, throwing all the technologies I work with into the near future to see what breaks, is enormous fun.
My first books were traditionally published non-fiction, and I still write technical works under my own name and as a ghost writer. When I was asked to co-author a cybersecurity book in 2016, a friend suggested that it might be less dry as fiction. Cameron Silvera and the Argentum Associates team burst into life and the whole process of writing fiction has become a real joy. One of my biggest challenges is making sure that the future technology I invent doesn't find its way into reports for real live clients - but the future is getting closer all the time, and some of my predictions are already coming to life. Bitcoin Hurricane was the first in the SimCavalier series of near future thrillers, and I have a growing catalogue of short stories that include the odd SimCavalier prequel, some standalone tales, and the adventures of Finch, a naive young avian on a rite of passage round-the-galaxy trip.
Inspiration? I've been embedded in scifi since childhood. My first glimpse of the Daleks from behind the sofa pulled me into new worlds, and I never left. As a child I wrote my own Dr Who and Star Wars stories and occasional scripts on an old typewriter in my bedroom, and I read my dad’s collection of Wyndham, Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlen and Asimov before discovering Iain Banks and David Brin, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I'm still reading and learning and letting my imagination run wild.

A trilogy of entertaining and well written cyber thrillers set in the near future. I loved the details such as the delivery drones and the auto cars. The characters were engaging. It seems especially relevant considering the current debate about AI. I received a free copy of the audiobook for review.
