An international spy/crime thriller about a cyber attack that targets cells in Kenya, rending financial transactions useless sounds frightfully realistic. I agree with you that This story could be right out of today’s headlines. I am not a fan of the genre, but I am glad it kept you interested. Thank you for the review!

I love spy thrillers, but I'm curious about the title. I'm a bit confused why the reviewer constantly misspelled it, writing serpska instead of srepska...

As they mentioned, it's a name of a crime organization, but I'd like to know if it comes from (or is inspired by) a real language. The storyline doesn't seem too original, but at least it's fast-paced and clean (without sex scenes), so I'd like to read it.

Great review. This book sounds like a great crime spy thriller full of action and suspense. The premise of the cybercrime is totally believable and very relevant to today’s world and the thought of this fiction being not at all far fetched is a bit scary. Definitely adding this book to my TBR. Thanks so much for sharing.

The thrilling chill I got from this review is what I long for in anything I read. It sounds like this read is always to have an unexpected turn, or new adventure, which I’m excited for. These events could almost come right out of a news station today!

This sounds like a very intriguing story. Cyber-hacking is an acute problem nowadays and it will be interesting to figure out how the author develops this topic.

For less than a dollar, you can get Serpska, a book about a criminal organization which uses the chaos of mobile network technology shutdown to steal money and funds. Furthermore, the M.C is assigned to track the cyber hackers who may be in Budapest thus setting up the storyline

Great review of Srepska and it does sound like a very interesting read if you enjoy reading books of international spy/crimes. The plot of the story does seem to fit with current events about data hacking. Even thou the reviewer gave the book 4 out of 4 stars it is not my style of book to read. I don't know I just want to ignore the possibility of cyber hackers. :D

The book seem to have a lot action going on, this will keep the reader entertained and fixed to the book. The plot seem interesting because the authors focus on modern crimes such as cyber attacks and bank credit card fraud are common so in bringing them into light, I believe the author has fulfilled his purpose! Good review!
