Cyber thrillers are so fascinating to read. This sounds awesome and very possible in today's world.

Good review. I love a good detective novel. The crime has been done now to find out who it is. Who is Srepska and what do they want besides money? I don't know but I'm going to finish the book to find out.

I think I like the idea of reading about this international crime syndicate. The thought of mass financial incapacitation is also scary.

This book sounds more realistic and at least as exciting as most blockbuster spy/mystery/thriller films out there. I especially love it starting with a country's internet access--and, in turn, their economy--cut off so that they can't even operate. Thank you for the insightful review.

Being a Kenyan I can connect with the ide that chaos would erupt if mobile phones were not able to work for a few hours let alone a few days so I was quite taken in by the introduction of the review. Most of hour payment transactions and communications are via mobile telephony even in remote areas as there is high penetration of basic mobile phones across the country.

I liked the review in that is was it covered what the reviewers liked about the book while capturing details that indicated it was a good read.

I also liked that they were fair in noting that they did come across a few grammatical errors but that was not distracting from enjoying the book which they felt was a very good read. The review makes me want to read the book for sure again and again. Well done! :D

This book is reality, I also love the fact that it has an international scope and starts from Kenya whose historical and geographical information am well versed with. Can't wait to read it

Latest Review: "Diary of a Snoopy Cat" by R.F. Kristi

Post by Phantom24601 »

I'm not usually into the thriller genre but I might have to check this one out. It sounds good, and as you said, relevant. We have never been as technologically vulnerable and dependant as we are now. It's only a matter of time until someone takes advantage of that. My only concern about the book is that it's set in a place the author might not know much about. Hopefully he did his homework and it actually reads like it's set in Africa. Glad to hear there's no sex or nudity though. There is way too much of that everywhere.

Serpska by Lucas Sterling is an amazing thriller book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters in this book are so realistic that I fell in love with the main character.
