Bitcoin Hurricane – Kate Baucherel 


 

She’s a hacker at the top of her game. They are cybercriminals who won’t stop until they bring her down. Can she crack the code before they strike?

Welcome to London, 2045 - where financial systems have crashed, and the world's economies are on the brink of collapse. The only hope of salvation lies with Cameron Silvera, the legendary hacker known as the SimCavalier.

The SimCavalier is feared by black hat hackers across the world and trusted by corporations and governments to get their systems back online fast. Her identity is a closely guarded secret, but a message hidden deep in the very ransomware she’s cracking tells her that cybercriminals are on her tail.

With the clock ticking and lives hanging in the balance, Cameron clings to the last vestiges of anonymity, but a tenacious journalist blows her cover and she finds herself hunted by the very criminals she’s been trying to stop. They infiltrate her team, laying a false trail while the real threat looms ever closer.

As the world teeters on the brink of disaster, Cameron and the team must race against time to take down the cybercrime syndicate and prevent a global wave of cyberattacks from unleashing chaos and destruction on an unprecedented scale. Will they prevail, or will the world fall victim to the greatest hack in history?

Biography: I'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 non-fiction. 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 as a result. 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. 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, Heinlein 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.
