Brandon is a seventeen year old high school computer hacker, who hacks bank accounts then sells the information. He is your average looking bad boy, complete with tattoos and piercings and attitude. With parents so absorbed into their careers to even see that their son is shouting for some sort of attention, Brandon keeps the persona of living like a machine, all gears and wires. He has learned not to invest too much time into friends or relationships, since they will most likely be moving soon. That is until Emma comes along.

Emma is the kind, and stubborn girl who has insisted on helping Brandon get act together in school and the principal off his back. Only Emma looks beyond the tattoos and piercings to the person that Brandon keeps hidden away from everyone.

When a routine cyber hack throws Brandon off his game, and a mirror that is moving on its own. Brandon begins to think that he has lost his mind. Brandon's reflection, also named Obran, has a mind of its own and seems to be changing Brandon for what it to come. Brandon's piercings disappear, his black hair dye washes out, and his black goth clothes are replaced with pastel polo shirts and slacks.

Then Brandon realizes, that the reflection, is wanting to trade places with him. When he is pulled in through the mirror, Brandon is dropped into a world that the hacking world has thought to be a myth. Now Brandon must use his hacking skills to get himself out of the cyber prison he finds himself in and back to the real world.

Duplicity is nothing like anything that I have ever read. Its an originally, page turning, extremely well written cyber thriller which is told in Brandon's point of view. There are twists and turns that the reader doesn't see coming. If this debut is any indication of things to come, then I will certainly be looking for more from N.K. Traver.
