Overview
Byte: a novel by Eric C. Anderson
THE CYBERWORLD IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH HELL UPON THE REAL WORLD -- AND ONLY ONE HACKER CAN STOP IT.
Her friends call her “Roller” because of her wheelchair, but the witty, wise-cracking, pistol-packing agent is better known at the CIA as “the Veterinarian.” She’s the woman dispatched to cage big dogs and bring the bits and bytes to heel.
When Roller’s superiors discover the balance of power between the U.S. and Russia is about to run off the rails, she’s called upon to head a cyber strike team and face off with her arch-nemesis, a female hacker from the depths of the Dark Net. There’s $50 billion of oligarch money at play, bitcoins to intercept, and evidence of a surging cyberattack on the global infrastructure that could kill thousands.
Some days it just doesn’t pay to roll into work.
BYTE spirals us into the underworld of cyber criminals who can make kings or break them – and shatter civilizations in a keystroke.
