What Would You Do If A Foreign Country Took Over Your Computer?

A quiet Florida day is shattered for Marcie Kane and her fiancé, Nathan Harris, when they are faced with this question. The call came from Annie Logan, a new friend of Marcie's who happened to be the wife of the chief of staff to the president of the United States. While Annie's personal problems bring into question her credibility, Nathan, a consultant with the FBI, soon confirms the threat is real and helps Annie convince her skeptical husband in Washington.

˃˃˃ The Threat Escalates, And The President’s Life Is At Risk

As the online threats grow, the impulsive president is determined not to listen to anyone, and especially not a hacker. The hacker is equally determined not to fail and risk damaging his reputation. Marcie and Nathan find themselves directly in the middle of a winner-take-all cat and mouse game where the stakes include the life of the president of the United States.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Barry Finlay is a fiction and non-fiction author. In his previous life, he had an extensive career in financial management before retiring in 2004 after thirty two years with the Canadian federal government. Since retiring, he has divided his time between writing, working as a consultant on financial policy matters, travel, playing golf, climbing mountains, philanthropy and enjoying his three grandchildren.

In 2009, Barry got off the couch and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with his son, Chris. The experience of climbing Africa's highest mountain at age 60 with one of his sons and discovering the satisfaction of reaching a goal and giving others the opportunity to achieve theirs, was a non-fiction book waiting to be written. The travel memoir and inspirational Kilimanjaro and Beyond has won numerous awards and Barry was featured in the Authors Show book, "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" as a result.

He enjoyed the writing experience so much he has since written eight more published books, including the humorous travel memoir, I Guess We Missed The Boat, the five-book Marcie Kane Thriller Collection and the two-book (so far) Jake Scott Mystery Series. Many of his books have received literary awards and achieved Amazon bestseller status.

His most recent release, Just Keep Climbing, chronicles the inspirational stories of eight people as they face the challenges life has thrown at them. All of them have the resolve to just keep climbing.

Barry is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medal for philanthropy. He lives with his wife Evelyn in Ottawa, Canada.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD POLITICAL. THRILLER.
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

The author gives us a description of Lee with sunken cheeks wearing a surgical mask, not wanting to inhale any of the dust particles. He was well paid, and had a luxury pent house. Working on a component used in medicine, or a killer when unprocessed. A meeting with an American and giving him a bag with a steam bun roll before returning to the states. Within three hours this American was dead and the money disappeared from the account. Another story that is full of intrigue and suspense, and will make one more aware of some of the things we do when a computer is turned on. The author once again doesn’t disappoint his readers in this political thriller.

4.0 out of 5 stars A warning as to dangers from hackers
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019
Verified Purchase
This was an entertaining story. Clearly there is a warning to the reader concerning hackers and the way they can trick you into letting them get control of you computer and ruin your life. I would expect that the chief of staff to the president would be smart enough to caution his wife regarding safety procedures with their personal computer due to his position. Also, I felt that the author's political leaning was showing, due to his depiction of the president as a thinly veiled, out of control President Donald Trump battling with the Chinese of tariffs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marcia is a star in this action thriller
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018
Verified Purchase
Five stars in spite of the fact that the President character was modeled on our current U.S. President. Guess it was just too tempting.... The book is well storyboarded; plot lines are complex and interwoven; characters - other than the President - are fully developed and genuine. The central characters including our heroine, Marcie, and fiancé, Nathan, are smart, compassionate, alpha, and committed. The hacker/hitman is lethal, without conscience, greedy, and relentless. This is a suspense-filled, non-stop action thriller.

This is a good solidly written thriller. It isn't close to great, not is is close to mediocre. It is a little slow at times, but the ending was both a surprise and appropriate. I don't expect to follow this series.

I read this third book before the first two books in the Marcie Kane series. It is a completely stand-alone book with just a few references to the other books. I loved this book and found the story to be engaging. I have now read book 1 and have started on book 2. I am interested in the author’s ability to write about completely different subjects using the same central character of Marcie Kane. Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019

For the most part this is a real page turner with intetesting international and cyber-terrorism sidelines but the author's characterisation is clunky and over-played. They clearly have a bee in their bonnet about alcohol and it became irritating.

This was one of the best reads I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy in quite some time. Action and adventure on both an international stage and inside the various alphabet agencies. Politics, addiction, and relationships made this a novel to remember!

Another unsuccessful attempt to assassinate the American President. More realistic than most
Believable plot. Very very contemporary political scenario
Computer hacking and chemical terrorism depiction is authentic.
Four stars because Finlay may have got FBI and presidential security aspects away from reality.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2018

I haven’t read the other books in this series or this author before now. The book was a bit slow at the start but picked up at the time Annie is introduced into the storyline. I have read several books of this genre and find them appealing so I wanted to try another writer. The book has had me on the edge of my seat and with me in the midst of moving and unpacking it has been hard to find time to finish, but I have come an old hand of doing things one handed while reading. I strongly recommend the book as it does have twists and turns and a lot of holding on to the edge of your seat. You will love the characters as the story unfolds and becomes more gripping. Barry Finlay is amazing as a writer. You will enjoy it as much as I have.
