Finding a new author and reading books by previously known authors is pure joy for me. So getting to know Jerome Preisler as an author was very fun.
Book Description
The cutting-edge Net Force thriller series, created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik and written by Jerome Preisler, reveals the invisible battlefield where the war for global dominance is fought.
The president’s new cybersecurity team, Net Force, is up and running. But a political deadlock in Washington makes the young agency dangerously vulnerable to the criminals, terror groups, and hostile governments who would use the digital space to advance their destructive goals.
In Central Europe, an unknown enemy mounts a crippling high-tech assault against the organization’s military threat-response unit on its home base. The strike casts suspicion on a core member of Net Force, threatening to destroy the cyber defense group from within. But as they race to track down their attackers, the stakes are suddenly ratcheted higher. For a global syndicate of black hat hackers and a newly belligerent Russia are hatching a mysterious, shadowy scheme for world domination from a place known only as the Secret City.
Their attack protocol: leave Net Force in ashes while Moscow and its Dark Web allies set the stage for a devastating strike against the United States.
Unless the men and women of Net Force can regroup in time to stop them.

My Thoughts
To be completely honest I had a hard time with this book.
I struggled not because it was a bad book in fact it hit the ground running. It was action-packed and throws you right into the middle of things. I struggled because not knowing this author at all I was not aware that this was a book in a series. So I was not sure of all the characters or the pieces that were in play in this book.
With no backstory or intro to work from it was hard for me to get my grip of what was happening. I felt like there were a lot of various plots happening at once. I wasn't sure if there were multiple attacks happening or if it was one person. This kept me intrigued and on the edge of my seat.
I must say this book was action-packed with lots of twists. The author hooks you from the beginning and keeps you there throughout the book leaving you wanting more.
With the book ending with no clear outcome, the author has you where he wants you waiting for the next installment to see what happens. I will say even though I struggle having come into this book in the middle of a series it most definitely kept me turning the pages.
Though the book is good I would advise you to start from the first book and work uti this one to make sure you are aware of what is happening.
