New York goes dark in the dead of winter…A terrifying mystery begins…But who is the enemy?
Sometimes the worst storms aren’t from Mother Nature, and sometimes the worst nightmares aren’t the ones in our heads.
Mike Mitchell, an average New Yorker already struggling to keep his family together, suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive when an increasingly bizarre string of disasters starts appearing on the world’s news networks. As both the real world and the cyberworld come crashing down, bending perception and reality, a monster snowstorm cuts New York off from the world, turning it into a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems.
Anyone who enjoys insightful, cutting-edge fiction mixed with action and adventure won’t want to miss CyberStorm.
Distinct from all the others of this sort i’ve come across lately (and yes, there’ve been plenty), this actually ends on a positive note. I guess it’s therefore a cautionary story rather than the opener to a long series.
But it works well, the characters are believable and the technology (mesh networks etc) all cleverly used and written up well.
