by Jeff W. Horton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 15 ratings
A devastating cyber attack leaves 100,000 people in the United States dead, and evidence points to the Chinese, setting the world on the inevitable march towards nuclear war. Nick Reynolds with US Cyber Command soon learns that former KGB agent Nikolai Chervanko, who has long dreamt of rebuilding his beloved Soviet Union, could be behind the massacre, with something even bigger planned. Lacking evidence linking Chervanko, however, outrage over the attack soon forces the United States to declare
war on China. With no means to stop another destructive cyber attack and prevent a nuclear conflict, Nick finds help from an unlikely source from Area 51.

Will Nick be able to avert a global holocaust? Find out in Cyber Space!

Review

"Horton does another marvelous job of tapping people's current subconscious fears to weave an action-packed yarn. The story is gripping, the action fast-paced and the characters driven towards their own individual goals."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Area 51 is Real
    Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013

    Area 51 is no myth. A spaceship really did crash. And even though all occupants died, the ship remains, and it provides the technology to enhance our world, should we ever be able to unlock its secrets.

    At least that's what Henry and his daughter believe in their work on the alien craft.

    But Nick knows nothing about Area 51, or spaceships, or alien technology. His job is to locate the source of cyber attacks that are crippling this country, and stop them.

    These two unrelated purposes cross to hopefully defeat a former KGB monster intent on starting a war between the United States and China.

    From the very first pages, author Jeff Horton draws the reader in, and won't let go until the very last page. The interesting thing about this story is that cyber attacks are real, even if they are not as deadly as is portrayed in this novel.

    So read this book at your own peril. Your eyes may be opened to new dangers.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Hacking our way to the end of the world...
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2013
    Cybersp@ce is a decent read. Mixing the topics of computer hacking, political delicacy, and Area 51 into an action story that could lead to the end. There was plenty of planning, and little bit of action, a dabble into romance; but all around pretty average. It did give a little suspense of what will happen next, but the anticipation was not strong because it was very predictable. There were no real clever "a-ha" moments or any twists and turns, but it was a good story on the straight and narrow.

    The pacing of the book was really nice and it didn't linger on anything too long so as to slow it down. The basis of the story, computers not being as secure as we think they are, is one of the topics that I read a lot so I have high expectations at this point. One of the things that was not done in the book was any explanation of the hacks or any real mention of the technology doing the hacking or being hacked. The book just seemed to take the easy route of glossing over the details. Not many people probably want to read about the technical details of a hack or the technology, but more details (to bring the reader into the moment more) about the action or mass destruction would have taken this book a long way. 100,000 people were killed by a nuclear reactor being hacked, and it is just glossed over. If there was more detail on the subject it would raise the blood lust the reader had toward those responsible instead of it just being a plot line we are following.

    Overall Cybersp@ce is a good read to just sit back and relax and not have to think. With the topics at hand it COULD have ended up being a very heavy (and long) book, but instead it was very light and something you could put down whenever you need instead of having to read at least one more chapter. If you want just a basic suspense book about computers and the possibility of the next world war, this is one that gives you exactly that.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cyber attack on US thwarted by alien computer
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Conceptually it is likely that the next war will start by hacking attacks on the crumbling infrastructure of the first world. But I find it rather far-fetched and naive that an alien computer discovered on a ship at Area 51 is going to be able to help us thwart the attack.

    However, this is sci-fi :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars captivating read
    Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2013

    This is a believable tale of the lengths some men who miss the power of the USSR are willing to go to restore the "glory" to "their" country - of the lengths some in China and the US go to try to save the world as they know it - as it really is in the present. It is an interesting look at how area 51 could be a lot of help in this global crisis. Since the main focus is on the emotional aspects of the crisis, the technical aspects aren't important, but there are a few very interesting scenes of cyberspace nonetheless. All in all, it is a gripping read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but entertaining
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015
    I wanted to like this, the blurb sounded interesting, the cover was attractive and it has a cool '@' instead of an 'a' in the title.It suckered me in with the some decent, easy to read text. The illusion didn't last long though as the journey through the book had many bumps along the road.

    The basic plot is fine, although it is a little bare boned. The first real problem was the principal characters. Not in themselves, but in their interactions with each other. First they have a tendency to congratulate each other for stating the obvious. Although that's probably a good thing as they tended to make some very dumb decisions. They then fail to see the obvious as events unfurl from those decisions.

    There were other annoyances and yet I continued reading. Normally I'd just give up and start reading the next in my list, but it kept me involved in the story. I didn't understand why until I approached the end and the villain was laying his dastardly scheme out in the open for the heroes of the story. He was a Bond villain and I'd just read a cyberspace version of a James Bond film.

    So was it a good read? Not really, but it was a surprisingly entertaining one.

    1.0 out of 5 stars It's a Christian fairy tale
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2013
    Warning - spoilers. In the last chapter, they pray for five pages. The aliens witness for Jesus! Really! Plus, this book is safe to read to five year olds. It's a 'family values' book, so no sex, no swearing, no violence. There is a romance between a simpering, supposedly genius woman scientist who acts like she's a 13 year old girl with a crush and the guy is more like the white shirted Mormons who appear at your door, witnessing. Three fourths of the book is all about these two romancing each other.

    I dislike only three kinds of books - badly written, or if they are not what was advertised, or I don't agree with it. This isn't badly written.
