Remote Access

An International Political Thriller - Marcie Kane Book 3

Author: Barry Finlay


AVAILABLE
Amazon
Barnes and Noble


"A foreign country has taken over my computer."

With these chilling words, a quiet Florida day is shattered for Marcie Kane and her fiancé, Nathan Harris. The caller is Annie Logan, a new friend of Marcie's who happens 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, Marcie and Nathan, a consultant with the FBI, soon confirm the threat is real and help her convince her skeptical husband in Washington.

Remote Access will appeal to anyone who even casually follows today's news and enjoys page-turning suspense.

As the online threats escalate, the impulsive president is determined not to listen to anyone and especially a hacker. The hacker is equally determined not to fail and risk damage to 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.

US Review of Books says:

“As he rounded the corner into the hall, Cheung’s parting words echoed through the open door. ‘Make sure it doesn’t fail, Mr. Lee. You will not like the consequences if it does.'”

This story definitely has a “ripped from the headlines” feel. It revolves around a mercurial President of the United States who is both loved and hated in equal measure. His consideration of slapping China with trade tariffs leads to multiple instances of mayhem that threaten both government officials and innocent bystanders.

Finlay paints a frighteningly realistic picture of two of the things people often fear today—terrorism and cybercrime. When a freelance computer hacker, who doubles as an assassin, sets a plan in motion to make sure the US President doesn’t impose tariffs, malevolence multiplies rapidly. A secret-selling bureaucrat gets more than he bargained for. The wife of the President’s Chief of Staff has her identity stolen and her sanity assaulted. An FBI consultant and his fiancé are swept into a race against time to find and stop an unknown villain whose tactics just might be trending toward mass casualties.

The author’s pace moves at Internet speed. With the introduction of each principal character, just enough backstory is provided to heighten interest. Scenes play out cinematically. From assignations in high-priced hotels to intricate computer setups in seedy apartment buildings, the narrative unwinds, almost climaxes, then regenerates itself into a heart-stopping finale. Finlay is a skilled writer who seems just as at home with computer criminality as he is with human frailty, friendship, and hope. His story feels authentic whether he’s describing fast-acting physical paralysis or slow-moving relationship disintegration. If you like crisp, well-crafted storytelling that’s as contemporary as today, you really should log on to Remote Access.

Kilimanjaro and Beyond - A Life-Changing Journey
It is January 16, 2009, and 60 year-old BARRY FINLAY and his son CHRIS are propped against a rock, struggling to draw a breath on their treacherous climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. Their destination is tantalizingly close, yet the weather and -- more importantly -- their health will determine the end result. Barry's backpack holds a Canadian flag with the names of over 200 donors mobilized by the climbers back home. The donors have contributed to providing classrooms and clean water for desperately deserving school children in Tanzania. For Barry, this is a life-changing physical, mental and spiritual adventure. Follow along as he and his son strive to climb one of the World's Seven Summits, meet the children who will benefit from their fundraising, and come to an understanding that one or two people really can make a difference. It is a journey that leaves the two with the lasting impression that nothing is more satisfying than reaching a goal and giving others the opportunity to achieve theirs.
