If you're a fan of financial thrillers, Zero Ri$k by Simon Hayes is one to add to your list! This gripping story dives into the world of hacking, corporate espionage, and high-stakes cyber crime, keeping you on edge with its fast-paced narrative and strong plot.

One of the most chilling aspects of this book is how it highlights our reliance on technology and forshadows the terrifying consequences if it all came crashing down. Hayes paints a vivid and unsettling picture of a world brought to its knees by cyberattacks, from financial systems to critical infrastructure. It’s a stark reminder of how fragile our interconnected systems can be, making the book feel not just thrilling but eerily plausible.

While I did guess the identity of the antagonist fairly early on, it didn’t take away from the thrill of the journey. The stakes remained high, the twists kept coming, and the resolution went in a direction I wasn't expecting.

Overall, Zero Ri$k is a solid thriller that offers a fascinating look at the intersection of technology and finance. Perfect for readers who enjoy tension, intrigue, and a touch of intellectual challenge in their thrillers!
