About the Book
Terrorists are targeting Dallas, Texas. Nora Brooks and Randall Goodwin have until midnight to stop an unprecedented cyber attack.
Who would want to bring about the collapse of the nation’s ninth largest city? And if they succeed, what is their next target?
Nora Brooks has a new partner--Randall Goodwin is young, confident, and a computer genius. He thinks he wants out from behind the desk at the agency’s headquarters, and so he joins Nora in pursuing cyber terrorists. When Dallas, Texas is hit with a coordinated attack, Nora and Randall board a C-20 Gulfstream Naval Jet bound for the Lone Star state. At risk are four different sectors--transportation, utilities, medical, and infrastructure. If allowed to proceed, the toll on the 1.3 million population will be devastating. Nora and Randall arrive at the Dallas command center to discover they’re facing a coordinated attack from four different cyber terrorists, and at least one of them is on the inside.
Midnight Strike is book 2 in Vannetta Chapman’s Cyber Terror series. The journey begins with Fading Into the Night, a novella set in the Amish community of Shipshewana which first appeared in the Summer of Suspense Anthology.

My Thoughts
Midnight Strike was a quick, fast paced, and compelling read. It's book two in the series, but can be read as a standalone.
It's scary to think about how easy it'd be for a cyber criminal to cause all kinds of trouble. In this novella, we see what might go on behind the scenes to stop a coordinated cyberattack targeting the main forms of infrastructure in a big city like Dallas.
I wished this story had been a little bit longer, but all in all, I really enjoyed it. It shines a light on a serious threat. I'm looking forward to book three.
I won this book in a giveaway and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

Four Stars
Nice that this one can be read as a standalone.
ReplyDeleteRight? I love that. :)
DeleteOoh I'm not sure I've ever read a cyber terrorist story but it sounds fun and tense!
ReplyDeleteInteresting too about Shipshewana. I've never been there but it's in nearby Indiana and being from Michigan we hear about it sometimes- people take buses there to shop and stuff.
It's so tense and definitely kept my anxiety high.
DeleteI think it'd be neat to visit an Amish community and see what it's like. :)
