All Systems Down by Sam Boush was published on February 8th, 2018 by Lakewater Press and is a post apocalyptic science fiction thriller. Pak Han-Yong’s day is here. An elite hacker with Unit 101 of the North Korean military, he’s labored for years to launch Project Sonnimne: a series of deadly viruses set to cripple Imperialist infrastructure. And with one tap of his keyboard, the rewards are immediate. Brendan Chogan isn’t a hero. He’s an out-of-work parking enforcement officer and one-time collegiate boxer trying to support his wife and children. But now there’s a foreign enemy on the shore, a blackout that extends across America, and an unseen menace targeting him.
Brendan must do whatever it takes to keep his family safe. In the wake of the cyber attacks, electrical grids fail, satellites crash to earth, and the destinies of nine strangers collide. Strangers whose survival depends upon each other’s skills and courage.
For fans of REVOLUTION and Tom Clancy, ALL SYSTEMS DOWN is a riveting cyber war thriller that presents a threat so credible you’ll be questioning reality.
About the author: Sam Boush is a novelist and award-winning journalist. He has worked as a wildland firefighter, journalist, and owner of a mid-sized marketing agency. Though he’s lived in France and Spain, his heart belongs to Portland, Oregon, where he lives with his wife, Tehra, two wonderful children, and a messy cat that keeps them from owning anything nice.

Center for Internet Security,
International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, and

My thoughts: All Systems Down is a thrilling and action-packed novel that will make you question just how much we all depend on technology and how vulnerable without it we can be. After reading this you will be tempted to put together your own cyber war emergency kit! Boush has written a story that is vividly realistic and something that could happen at any moment. A story that is incredibly terrifying because this could happen today and the society will be left shell shock if a massive cyber-attack was to happen. No one is prepared for the outcome and the destruction that will be left behind. I enjoyed reading All Systems Down. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves science fiction. ** I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
