Darknet

From the best-selling author of CyberStorm comes a wild ride through the Wall Street underworld.

One minute Jake O'Connell is on top of the world, with a beautiful family and bright future as a stock broker in New York; the next it's all ripped away when he's embroiled in a fraud investigation, his childhood friend is murdered, and he finds himself on the run. Dodging the FBI and targeted by the Mob, Jake is thrown into a Wall Street underworld of crypto currencies and autonomous corporations, where he discovers a dark secret setting the world on a path to destruction. He must evade the shadowy forces hunting him and find a way to redemption - but the faster he runs, the deeper he becomes entangled. In the end his only path forward is to return to the ghosts of his past.

Darknet is a journey into the back alleys of global finance and cyber espionage, the story of one man's quest to redeem himself and save his family.

Too easy of a cleanup

Good read all the way through until the final chapters; the finality was too simple, contrived, and not remotely likely.

Plausible, imaginative!

very good, similar to Ready Player One. near future science fiction, l like it very much!

poor editing

irritating things like...
Schenectady is not "a little more than 2 hrs to Montreal". it is 3-1/2 hrs minimum. it really bugs me when writers get all specific about some person or place, then not do the research that makes the story plausible. really brings a good story down.

Good

Interesting material , good likable characters, listened to the audible version.
I just finished and picked up another from this author. Thanks

Great Read

Got this free off of kindle unlimited and didnt know if I was going to like it, but Matthew Mathers did it again. Like his book cyber storm I was hooked from the first few chapters and hated it every time I had to hit the pause button.
