Description

My name is Nyah and I'm a hacker. I know things most people would never believe. Things that shouldn't exist, but do.

Seventeen year old Nyah Parks is a genius hacker whose world is unraveling. Deeply scarred from a horrific accident that killed her father and brother, and left her mother with irreparable brain damage, Nyah is barely holding the last shreds of her life together.

Now, her mother's health is deteriorating quickly and Nyah faces the grim prospect of losing her, too. One last ditch hope exists--an experimental brain surgery that could buy her mother more time. But Nyah must scrape together enough money to pay for it before it's too late.

Desperate and with no other choice, Nyah turns her programming skills to cracking the firewalls of the world's largest corporations. She exposes their weaknesses, and then offers her services to secure their systems from hackers.

But when the most dangerous job of her life backfires and forces her to go on the run, she encounters an impossible reality that shouldn't exist, but does.

A hack unlike any other. A hack that will take her beyond the firewall of the human brain itself. A hack, which may be the only way to save her mother now.

What if there was a way to tap into the unseen reality that surrounds us all? Would you hack in? How far would you go to find the answers to your deepest questions? The answer lies deep beyond the firewall.

Tap in, strap in, and experience the mind-twisting ride with Nyah. What you find waiting on the other side of the firewall might forever change the way you see yourself and the world you live in.

    This book starts out as being about a young computer hacker. Slowly it becomes a religious diatribe about God. The story is meh. Also lots of typos. Overall pretty misleading.
  • Great read!! 👍🏻

    Dekker is a master, it's easy to get lost in the writing. Definitely kept the pages turning.

    As always a brilliantly written story that draws from Truth. Ted Dekker has an uncanny ability to put words together in such a way that draws you in and changes your way of thinking. Many years ago I chose to drown and become apart of the Forrest guard and now I see that I truly am Outlaw. My costume is temporary, my seat at the table is eternal! If you have never read any of his books, start here, start now! Open your heart and mind and see that we are more than what we can see, hear, and touch! Become Outlaw!

    I got hooked on Ted Dekker's stuff about two years ago. Since then it has become my personal mission to read everything that he publishes. I found this in Walmart last week and I read it in the space of five hours. Once again, Dekker has delivered an imaginative novel that make reality and fiction collide in such a way that I am left utterly stunned, in a good way, of course. More than that, however, Dekker's books, this one most definitely included, leave me with a renewed sense of the forces of good and evil in our own world and questions about human nature that any philosopher could contemplate and debate for hours on end. Mr. Dekker, you have cost me a massive quantity of hours of sleep, and I am grateful to you for it.
