"Access Denied" – A Gripping Techno-Thriller of Power, Corruption, and Survival

In a world where paper currency is nearly extinct, and digital transactions rule the economy, Heston "Gray Hat" Gurkin, a brilliant but jaded hacker, makes a discovery that puts him in the crosshairs of the most powerful corporation on the planet. After accidentally infiltrating Elysium Corp.'s financial system, he stumbles upon a chilling global conspiracy—one designed to manipulate and monopolize the digital economy, ensuring total financial dominance over the world.

Pulled into a dangerous underground war, Heston allies with Amelia Burman, a relentless investigative journalist, and "Pwn", a rogue hacker collective determined to expose the truth. But with government agents and elite mercenaries closing in, Heston must outmaneuver them all before the future of money—and freedom itself—falls into the wrong hands.

Set in the high-tech dystopia of Atlanta City, where corporate surveillance is omnipresent and artificial intelligence dictates everyday life, Access Denied is a high-stakes thriller packed with pulse-pounding action, cyber warfare, and moral dilemmas. Will Heston risk everything to take down the system, or will he become just another pawn in the game?

Perfect for fans of William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and cyberpunk thrillers, this adrenaline-fueled ride will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
