With social unrest sweeping the country, Europe on the brink of war, and the US economy under siege by foreign nations, a new threat emerges. The nation is caught in the crosshairs of a power struggle between wealthy oligarchs and the political leaders who claim to have the country's best interests at heart.
For decades, American administrations have forced our military to be neutered in many respects - hampered by restrained rules of engagement, passed in strength by Russia and China, and tested by rogue nations like North Korea and Iran. As a result, nuclear Armageddon hangs over us like a mighty sword. Military analysts agree that the United States can't start World War III. Why? We might lose. Sabers are rattling, and the war of words escalate between America and her enemies....
This is not the story of preppers with stockpiles of food, weapons, and a hidden bunker. This is the story of Colton Ryman, his stay-at-home wife, Madison, and their teenage daughter, Alex. In 36 Hours, the Ryman family and the rest of the world will be thrust into the darkness of a post-apocalyptic world.
If society collapsed, could you survive? When Morgan Carter's car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country's power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored - if it ever will be.
One of the threats facing our nation is the use of an EMP weapon to cause a grid down scenario. There are many bad actors on the international stage capable of terrorism on a massive scale. The list is long, including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria and now terrorist groups like ISIS. Each is capable of wreaking havoc in the US by shutting down our power grid through the use of an EMP, and enjoying the resulting chaos.

Assistant District Attorney Dillon Stockdale is on the phone with his daughter when an EMP obliterates the entire electrical grid of the United States. Anything relying on a computer is fried, including the plane his daughter is on.

As one cyber-attack after another disrupts everyday life, powerful political forces and wealthy oligarchs plot the demise of the United States in Cyber Attack, Book Two in The Boston Brahmin series.
A prophetic and prescient novel by best-selling author Bobby Akart (Cyber Warfare, Seeds of Liberty and Evil, Meet Opportunity), The Boston Brahmin series continues as nine patriotic Americans whose lineage dates back to the Founding Fathers prepare for the coming collapse.
As the cyber-attacks intensify into a full blown cyber war between the most powerful nations on the planet, a conspiracy develops which provides cover for a President desperately seeking to extend his hold on power. Wealthy international financiers - The Boston Brahmins, exploit this weakness to their advantage in order to direct geopolitical events on the world stage.
Political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction as Cyber Attack reveals that all empires collapse eventually and that there have been no exceptions.
The nation is on the brink of collapsing. Racial tensions couldn’t be higher and the world is slated to be “rebooted.” Follow the Boston Brahmin as they attempt to take ahold of the United States future as she spirals out of control.
The narration of Cyber Attack was done by Joseph Morton. Who, again does a great job. I’m glad that Akart and Morton worked together on this series. The narration really helps the story move along at a quick pace.
Bobby Akart has a way of writing something that you feel is so true it baffles you to find out that it’s not. The way that he weaves fiction and non-fiction makes Cyber Attack a terrifying thriller.
The politics were heavy in Cyber Attack, but wading through all of that there is still a great story being built up here. I feel like I’ve been strapped to the side of the rocket and I’m just waiting until the countdown reaches zero. Cyber Attack definitely brought me closer to lift-off, and I think that from here it’s going to be non-stop action mixed in with some political process as the nation rebuilds after an imminent attack.
The cyber attacks were by far my favorite parts of this book, I actually started it the day that there was a real cyber attack on the DNS servers across the US and World. The name was just too perfect not to! The cyber attack scenes are written so well that you feel like these attacks have been performed by Akart himself.
Overall, Cyber Attack is one of those books that both people who love politics and ones who like action will enjoy. I cannot wait to see where this series goes.
I was provided a free copy of this book by the author.

*I received a copy of this for an honest review*
So, this is close enough to being a feasible reality that it makes me a little nervous haha. This one has a lot of information mixed in, so you have to pay attention, but quite good. Moving on to the next in the coming weeks
Bob says: 3.5-4 stars

If you enjoy suspense, combined with geopolitical thrillers, and prepper fiction, buy this book! You won't be disappointed. There's action, great character development, history, and even romance in the latest installment of The Boston Brahmin Series!

Slow, and drawn out. Great historical facts. Lacks explosive scene and adventure. Boring will put you to sleep.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This book is a very shallow and weak Hollywood plot with no good character build or plot
3 of 5 people found this review helpful
he repeats some details so much it becomes annoying. might be a good series for some but I had to stop after the second book.
I enjoyed the history lessons thought.
Would you try another book from Bobby Akart and/or Joseph Morton?
Yes.
Have you listened to any of Joseph Morton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. All good so far.
Could you see Cyber Attack being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Not a movie but definitely a TV series. The story is like most TV series in that there is a lot of interesting details but the story takes FOREVER to unfold.
Any additional comments?
Cyber Attack is a great story but this book was just...boring. A lot of stuff happened which I thought was going to lead to some big event. I dont know, maybe like a major Cyber Attack. Nope, not in this book but I can make a guess how the next books starts out. The series story is a good one so its well worth the read or listen but book two, independent from the series, was disappointing.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The plot for this book is very intriguing given the current events around the world. I really like the fact that this author has been able to use real names of current politicians (and other people) and groups, it gives both a real time and authenticity to the story. The down part is basically Joseph Morton... he is ok, but to me he just doesnt read with any type of excitement or enthusiasm. I am very happy, however, that they have chosen to stay with Joseph Morton for seemlingly the whole series thus far, nothing worse than a change of narrator in a series (unless the original reader is absolutely horrible).
Who was your favorite character and why?
Probably Sarge, his brother and the Egress team.
What aspect of Joseph Morton’s performance would you have changed?
I dont think you can change his performance. I think its just him as reader... his voice is just on the border of enthusiastic or exciting so he can seem boring sometimes.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Maybe, depending on director and cast.
Any additional comments?
If you read book 1, you can by-pass the first 8 chapters of the Audible book. The first 8 chapters (30 minutes?) are a direct repeat of book one.
the narrator did a better job than in the first book. From a storyline perspective things are getting more firm. Like in the first book there are many chapters that hinder for the book to pick up pace. Slight improvement compared with book 1; a solid 3 stars.
Kept me hooked from start to finish. Joseph Morton narrates like nobody's business as always.
