Book Review-Cyberstorm-Matthew Mather

This is another book that I borrowed for free because I am a Prime member! Well--I found another author who I really like. So much so that I already purchased another of his books!

This book kind of frightened me because I could actually see it happening. A Cyber attack was launched by parties unknown. In an apartment building in NYC neighbors originally get together to help each other. One of them is a survivalist and has a lot of stuff stockpiled in the basement.

Then a major snowstorm hits--a really major snow storm--there is no power except for a couple of generators. Of course there are some bad guys who attempt to get into the building and steal. The stores outside are closed and ransacked--it is a total mess! It takes ingenuity to survive-but they all manage. When things get tight and they can no longer share-two of the families decide to try to get to a cabin in the mountains----

You will be holding your breath through most of this novel waiting to see how it will all come out. Try to read this in the daytime or you might end up with nightmares! The ending will astound you!

New York goes dark in the dead of winter... A terrifying mystery begins... But who is the enemy?

Mike Mitchell is an average New Yorker struggling just to keep his family together and take care of his two-year-old son when a string of disasters shreds the bustling city around them. The Internet and communication networks go down, just as a monster snowstorm cuts New York off.

Days go by without contact to the outside world. Then weeks.

In the chaos, conspiracy theories rage about a foreign cyberattack. Was it the North Koreans? The Russians? The Chinese? Might it be the first shockwave of a global shift in power? But even these questions become unimportant as Mike and his family struggle for survival in the wintry tomb of a doomed New York.
