The Silence of Six (#1)
“WHAT IS THE SILENCE OF SIX, AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?”
These are the last words uttered by 17-year-old Max Stein’s best friend Evan just moments before he kills himself after hacking into the live-streaming Presidential debate at their high school.
Haunted by the unforgettable image of Evan’s death, Max’s entire world is upended as he suddenly finds himself the target of a corporate-government witch-hunt. Fearing for his life and fighting for his own innocence, Max goes on the run with no one to trust and too many unanswered questions.
Max must dust off his own hacking skills and maneuver through the dangerous labyrinth of underground hacktivist networks, ever-shifting alliances and virtual identities – all the while hoping to find the truth behind the “Silence of Six” before it’s too late.
Reviews
“Expertly incorporating hacker slang and disquietingly credible exploits ranging from penetrating corporate systems to hot-wiring cars with a laptop, Myers leads his clever coder, along with equally gifted allies Penny and her younger sister, Clarisse, through a series of narrow escapes and risky gambles to physical and digital clues that reveal a scheme to make the real-world NSA’s surveillance look small scale. Along with pleasing fans of Cory Doctorow’s Homeland (2013) and like “hacktion” thrillers, this offers sobering insight into how fragile our privacy really is.”

“It’s an entertaining and exciting book with non-stop action […] It’s a great way to get gamers and video fanatics to perhaps put down the mouse and pick up a book.”Examiner.com
