A modern stealth aircraft-carrier gets stranded in the icy waters of the Arctic. Was it due to the hacking of its navigation system by a college dropout on a computer sitting in his mother's basement, or the gross incompetence of the captain and his crew?[H]ow much your ship cost? $20 billion? You know, I am a simple guy with equipment worth less than 50 thousand Rubles. That is less than $1,000. Yet, I could disable your big ship sitting at my little place in Crimea. Would the influential and the powerful want some lowly criminal making a mockery of their war-ship?A criminal mastermind builds an enterprise of cybercrimes. He crawls in the cyberspace, patiently, to strike his victims at the opportune moment. He victimizes ordinary, unsuspecting people, and cleverly scapegoats them to repeatedly attack the rich and the powerful. The epitome of his ambition culminates in his biting something he couldn't swallow...This is a thriller on computer hacking. This riveting story narrates the grotesque impact of cybercrimes on organizations and ordinary people in every walks of life, and how that impact is exacerbated by egos, self-interests, and insecurities of people in political power.This novel has some semblance to novels by Arthur Hailey and Alistair McLean, and the technical details would remind the reader of Dan Brown novels. The characters are woven beautifully. The incredibly relatable victims, the witty dialogues, and extensively well-researched concepts make this book a wholesome reading experience.
