Social Engineer: The Brody Taylor Series of Cyber Crime and Suspense Thrillers (Deep Web Thriller Series)

Secrets. Lies. Choices.

When a pharmaceutical company hires Brody Taylor, elite hacker and social engineer, to fortify their digital-defences against a Chinese blackhat cyberattack, Brody stumbles across a secret the company strives to keep under wraps.

In his private life, Brody has social engineered a beautiful French animal rights activist into becoming his new girlfriend. But as he unexpectedly falls head-over-heels with Mel, Brody realises he has trapped himself in a set of lies of his own making.

Will Brody break his contract and expose the pharmaceutical company’s secret, especially when he knows it could save his relationship with Mel? Or will he remain professional and risk losing everything?

SOCIAL ENGINEER is a short 60-page standalone novella that can be read in under two hours!

THE DEEP WEB THRILLER SERIES:

Popular culture professes that all hackers are evil. Some are: the blackhats who break into websites one day and steal our identities the next. There are others: whitehats, hackers of good intent who try to prevent the chaos caused by their anonymous adversaries.

And rising above them all is elite hacker and social engineer, Brody Taylor, who is both white hat and black hat. In the deep web of cyberspace, he upholds the law by breaking the law, applying blackhat tactics to achieve white hat outcomes.

Interview with the Author

Q - So, what makes the Deep Web Thriller Series special?

A - I wanted to write the kinds of books I enjoy reading. I love fast paced thrillers with surprising twists, especially if they border on becoming technothrillers. American authors like Jeffery Deaver, Michael Chrichton, Tom Clancy and Dan Brown tick the box for me. But I also love gritty modern British detective novels especially if the detectives are hunting down serial killers. In this case, I particularly enjoy Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Stuart McBride. In the end, both sets of authors have clearly influenced what I write, because my books are cyber thriller and British detective mysteries rolled into one series! I’m pretty sure that’s fairly unique.

But what’s most important factor I’ve adopted from all these amazing authors is their page-turning ability. Overall, the Deep Web Thriller Series is full of suspense and twists, designed to keep you turning those pages!

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - I’ve written the series so you can read the books in any order, and all the story threads will tie up nicely by the time you're finished. If you do want to read them in order, I'd suggest the following sequence:

- Social Engineer (prequel)
- Invasion of Privacy
- Title to be revealed (coming soon)

Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?

A - Because readers love Brody Taylor, the hero of the series. He’s a very cool hacker who blurs right and wrong all the time. Because he can do so much with his skills it doesn’t mean that he should, but he always does! His antics always take readers on a very entertaining ride. If you then add Jenny Price, a strong British female detective who first appears in Invasion of Privacy, you have a wonderful counterpoint to Brody, which increases the conflict levels and dramatic tension throughout this hacker series.

Each of the books have made the bestsellers list for technothrillers and other mystery and suspense categories. Most importantly, the reviews from readers are predominantly four and five star.

So, anyone who likes fast paced thrillers, with plot twists you don’t see coming, great characters and the backdrop of London will get a kick out of this series.
