When
the story opens Sam is hacking into the White House Security system, well
it's there and supposed to be impenetrable, but when he tries to cover
his tracks on the way out he accidentally crashes the international computer
grid, and that gets him busted. Not long after he is incarcerated, he gets
recruited to work for the government in their super secret cyber defense
force. As such he essentially joins a select group of elite hackers as
they work to track down and outwit cyber terrorists. “Use your skills to
keep the world and our country safe!”
In not too long evidence of a deadly neuro-virus surfaces on the web; however, their newest and best weapon, a neuro headset that connects your brainwaves directly to the internet thus ramping up response time, skills, and range, also creates an open door that could expose your very mind to the terrorists you are hunting. So, have fun, and buckle your headset! (NH Isinglass Teen Award nominee, 2013) |
