The King's Hacker

The L0ck$ley Series, Book 2

De: W. D. Marcum

Narrado por: Hayden Coward

Before he became L0ck$ley—the world’s most elusive digital outlaw—he was just Karim al-Masri, a refugee with a laptop, a conscience, and a reason.

From the ruins of Aleppo to the lecture halls of King’s College London, The King’s Hacker traces the origins of a legend.

Born amid war and raised on the language of code, Karim learns early that the world’s firewalls—political, corporate, and moral—are written to keep the powerless out.

Guided by a disillusioned engineer who once built Syria’s internet backbone, Karim becomes both student and rebel, a quiet savant whose first hacks are acts of mercy. But when his family is forced to flee and the lines between survival and subversion begin to blur, he discovers that every act of justice carries a hidden cost.

Set against the backdrop of real-world cyberwarfare, refugee crises, and global surveillance, The King’s Hacker is a haunting origin story about morality in the digital age—a modern spy novel written in the tradition of John le Carré and Stieg Larsson, where every signal tells a human story and every keystroke leaves a ghost.

Before the honorable hacker, there was the boy who believed code could save lives.
