Fresh Fiction Review

Hacker

Science Fiction

Ted Dekker's latest novel, which is part of The Outlaw Chronicles, HACKER makes you rethink what you know. As usual he has you in a breath holding trance until the very end. This story has a different twist to technology and the limits that it holds leaving you wondering of the possibilities.

Nyan Parks is seventeen years old and a hacker. Finishing school at a young age as well as college she makes her living by hacking companies and then offering her services to help fix their security gaps within their systems. Then one day she makes the mistake of hacking into BlakBox in hopes to make a huge profit that will help her pay for the medical services that her mother needs to help cure her from the brain damage she suffers. What Nyan finds is more than she could have ever expected and this leaves her life in jeopardy. They have already found her friend Pixel, who was helping her and now he is missing.

Not knowing what else to do she runs from the FBI and the men from BlakBox and gets help from her friend Austin. He shows her to a whole new world of hacking the greatest computer of all, the human brain! Can he help save her mother? Can he help save her? Together Nyan finds what is the most important thing to living. Nyan also finds the strength within herself that she didn't think that she had.

With novels like HACKER, it is no wonder why Ted Dekker is one of New York Times' best-selling authors! This novel has all the best elements that make a great story. The suspense, action, and true characters that are filled with enough emotions that makes great story writing. I enjoyed the roller coaster of excitement I felt with the turn of each page!

SUMMARY

My name is Nyah and I'm a hacker. I know things most people would never believe. Things that shouldn't exist, but do.

Seventeen year old Nyah Parks is a genius hacker who makes a living by cracking the firewalls of the world's largest corporations. But when the biggest job of her life goes wrong she's plunged into a desperate situation with only one way out: one last hack that will either save her or kill her.

So begins Hacker, a modern day parable that examines the staggering world around us, the seen and unseen, and reminds us that there's far more to who we are than meets the eye.
