The incredibly realistic story of one family's struggle to survive the apocalyptic destruction of New York. GoodReads Award winning million-copy international bestseller now in development with NETFLIX.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Shows how dangerous our transition to an interconnected infrastructure has become." —Karic Allega, Joint Military Cyber Command, US NAVY

New York goes dark in the dead of winter...
A terrifying mystery begins...
But who is the enemy?

Mike Mitchell is an average New Yorker struggling just to keep his family together and take care of his two-year-old son when a string of disasters shreds the bustling city around them. The Internet and communication networks go down, just as a monster snowstorm cuts New York off.

Days go by without contact to the outside world. Then weeks.

In the chaos, conspiracy theories rage about a foreign cyberattack. Was it terrorists? Espionage? The North Koreans? Russians? Chinese? The first shockwave of a global shift in military power? But even these questions become unimportant as Mike and his family struggle for survival in the wintry tomb of a doomed New York.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “BRILLIANT…” —WIRED Magazine

New York Is Cut Off...

As the holiday season rolls into full swing, a monster winter storm descends on New York City as a string of bizarre events grips the nation. First the internet and cell phones go blank, then the power goes out just before New York is completely cut off....

A Terrifying Mystery Begins...

At first, residents of the city treat it like any other black out, but then as the days and weeks go by without contact with the outside world--and New York is blanketed by feet of snow--desperation and fear set in. In the chaos, conspiracy theories rage. This is the very personal story of how one family survives, and of the worst and very best of humanity in the face of catastrophic disaster.

A Worldwide Bestseller

CyberStorm is an international bestseller, translated into over twenty-four foreign languages including most recently Chinese and Russian. This scary, thought provoking and believable tale of cataclysmic survival has gripped readers all around the world.

From the Author

I'm excited to announce that on July 12th, 20th CENTURY FOX acquired the film rights to CyberStorm in a "major" film deal -- more news to come soon...

I'd like to thank my editor, Gabe Robinson (previously at Harper Collins in NYC but now freelancing) for his incredible help in getting CyberStorm assembled and edited. I'd also like to thank my small army of dozens of beta readers who combed through the early manuscripts--this is as much my novel as all of theirs, and a testament to the power of the internet in shaping new media. I have a full list of everyone who helped me contained in the novel itself.

Finally, I'd like to thank all of the members of the cybersecurity community who lent me their time and insight into making this as realistic a scenario as possible of what a full-scale cyber event could like. I have named several key individuals at the start of the book.

Thank you everyone, and hope you enjoy the read!
