Genre: Cyberpunk/Technothriller
Description:
“In the near-future, from the claustrophobic depths of a server room,
a brave hacker sacrifices his life to pass on damning documents to an
unsuspecting ally, an employee of the very megacorporation that stands as a
symbol of their oppression.
This unsuspecting woman, shaken by the weight of the truth, finds
herself thrust into a perilous game of rebellion. As she undergoes a
transformation from a corporate employee to a daring whistleblower, she joins
forces with Marton, an unyielding attorney from the Victims and Families
organization, and Jo, a mysterious and skilled mercenary. United, they form an
unexpected alliance, determined to expose the decay lurking within the Firm.
As they navigate the city's underbelly, their quest becomes more
dangerous, their allies fewer, and their mission ever more critical. Feel the
pulse of their desperation, the strength in their defiance, and the warmth of
their shared moments of respite. Join them in their fight to expose the truth,
one flash drive at a time.
Tailored for fans of thriller literature and everyone who cherishes a
story with twists and turns, Ghost Trigger will keep you glued to its
pages.”
Author:
“Alex Lopes grew up in the periphery of Brazil, captivated from a
young age by books and the computers in his father's repair shop.
Over 20 years, he navigated the universe of technology, moving through
virtually all areas of IT, until finally finding himself as a software
engineer.
A lifelong enthusiast of both literature and tech, he seeks to join
these worlds in his writing.”
Appraisal:
Although set in a futuristic world that is far advanced in a
technological sense than our current one, in many ways the meat of this story,
a thriller with a protagonist fighting back against an evil corporation, is one
that could just as easily happen today. I found the story world interesting and
it added to the story as well as made what might happen or what response the heroes
of the story might try less predictable, but as a thriller lover it also
satisfied those needs. An enjoyable and intense read.
