High tech crime needs a high tech hero.

Welcome to London, 2045 - where financial systems have crashed, and the world's economies are on the brink of collapse. The only hope of salvation lies with Cameron Silvera, the legendary hacker known as the SimCavalier.

Cameron is at the top of her game, feared by black hat hackers across the world and trusted by corporations and governments to get their systems back online fast. Her identity is a closely guarded secret, but a message hidden deep in the very ransomware she’s cracking tells her that cybercriminals are on her tail.

With the clock ticking and lives hanging in the balance, Cameron clings to the last vestiges of anonymity, but a tenacious journalist blows her cover and she finds herself hunted by the very criminals she’s been trying to stop. Worse, her trusted lieutenant is blackmailed and forced to betray Cameron and their team. With a false trail planted, the real threat looms ever closer.

As the world teeters on the brink of disaster, Cameron and the team must race against time to take down the cybercrime syndicate and prevent a global wave of cyberattacks from unleashing chaos and destruction on an unprecedented scale. Will they prevail, or will the world fall victim to the greatest hack in history? The fate of humanity rests in their hands.

SimCavalier

Bitcoin Hurricane

It starts out with a body – the stench of a body, to be more precise. Ross may have an idea why the man is dead in his flat, but he’s not telling anyone.

London, 2045. The police are struggling to identify the dead man, but despite all the technology at their fingertips the man remains a mystery. That's until an outbreak of a deadly virus provides a crucial link to a touring Singapore e-sports team and a motley collection of small-time cybercriminals.

The SimCavalier, aka Cameron Silvera, wants to enjoy her romantic getaway with Ben, but clues to a Paris data theft are coming thick and fast. Her team has its hands full dealing with an escalating torrent of online attacks, and the fallout from a global data breach has hit their clients hard. Cameron starts to connect the dots as underground markets are flooded with stolen files.

Everything points to a single cybercrime syndicate controlling a wave of thefts, and the mysterious Yasmin the Admin who calls the shots. Ross thinks he’s found the people involved, but it may be too late. Cameron’s cover is blown and her home is attacked. The syndicate is hunting down the SimCavalier who has thwarted their plans once too often. Can she stop the cybercriminals and their hired thugs before they strike at the heart of her family?

"Insidious vision of the day after tomorrow.”

"The near future recognisably imagined. Real suspense and tension."

“So real, so grounded in the possible, and so well written that it is easy to forget you’re reading about a future that has not happened yet.”

Hacked Future

North East England, 2046. Daniel, a fearless scavenger, scours an old landfill for hidden treasures while his cousin Michelle hustles to make ends meet through coding and hacking.

But when a nuclear explosion rocks the world, chaos ensues and the SimCavalier, Cameron Silvera, springs into action. Daniel, thanks to Michelle's innovative hacking skills, lands a job at the local nuclear power station and together they work with the Argentum Associates team to uncover a sinister plot. Suspicious software is discovered at multiple nuclear sites and a dead body floating out to sea confirms their worst fears - a familiar cybercrime syndicate is behind it all.

Cameron is desperate to protect her family and joins forces with a group of undercover hackers to fight against a rogue militia and a global cybercriminal network. Linking the two is Michelle, working in the half-light of grey hat hacking. When Ross slips up and reveals his old, cast-off hacker identity from his criminal days, she makes the connection. Exposing him could bring the whole delicate operation crashing down.

With time running out and the terrorists counting down to their next attack, the pressure is on. While the international coalition picks off the cybercriminals one by one, Cameron discovers that there’s a traitor in the camp, someone she trusted all along. It's a race against time to defuse an explosive finale. The stakes are high, but who will come out on top in this thrilling battle of wits and courage?

"Stepping up a gear to reveal a worldwide network of strong characters on both sides"

”A nice blend of sci-fi and thriller genres. Highly recommended reading.”

The tangled web spread across the globe is believable because the villains behind it are believable, fallible and very human.”

Tangled Fortunes

Northern England, 2047. Jack Sladen, tech billionaire and local hero, is coming back to his roots. Cameron Silvera, hacker legend, doesn’t trust him. Is Jack out to save the world, or to destroy it?

The Sladen Foundation DAO seems like a great idea, but Cameron, the SimCavalier, has spent much of her infosec career tidying up the bugs and exploits in Jack’s software. Can he be trusted with this new venture, and why does he want Cameron’s help?

A new cybercrime outfit known as Steamyard is wreaking havoc in the digital realm and Cameron’s team are working all hours to keep their attacks at bay. As they dig deeper, they discover a disturbing connection between the Steamyard, the Sladen Foundation, and a convict held in isolation at the high-tech Way House Prison – a criminal artificial intelligence jailed two years previously for attacks on Cameron and her family.

Cameron knows that the only way to protect herself and her loved ones is to keep the rogue AI behind bars, but black hat hackers have other plans. As the Sladen Foundation celebrates its launch, the cybercriminals activate their diabolical plan. Cameron and the Argentum team are in a race against time to stop the creation of a monster that threatens to take down everything they hold dear.

Critical Nexus

Can you die in virtual reality?

Summer 2048. The world's top athletes are jostling for the final places at the Olympics while ruthless cybercriminals are plotting to disrupt the games.

Cameron Silvera, aka the SimCavalier, one of the world's most renowned hackers, is part of the team holding the line against chaos. When a technical glitch and a data breach point to rigged betting and cyber theft, Cameron dives deep into the underworld of the metaverse, rubbing shoulders with the very criminals she hunts. But she's not alone - someone is hunting her too.

Her arch-nemesis Tenuk is wrestling with divided loyalties. His estranged father wants him to rejoin the family firm. Sapphire Straits is the largest gambling organisation across the real and virtual worlds, and it’s now dabbling in cybercrime. Tenuk tries to put aside his old grudges against his powerful father, and when he meets the AI who manages the gambling empire he realises how long this diabolical plan has been in motion.

As the clock ticks towards the Olympic opening ceremony, Cameron must go back into the underworld, using every ounce of her skill and cunning to stay out of the grasp of Tenuk and his rogue AI sidekick. The lives of her family and of the athletes caught in the crossfire are at stake, in every reality.
