The Silence of Six Review
Publisher: Adaptive Books (a division of Adaptive Studios)
How I Got this Book: Won in a giveaway hosted by adaptivestudios (Adaptive Books) and booksplosion!
Goodreads Description:
“What is the silence of six, and what are you going to do about it?” These are the last words uttered by 17-year-old Max Stein’s best friend, Evan: Just moments after hacking into the live-streaming Presidential debate at their high school, he kills himself. Haunted by the image of Evan’s death, Max’s entire world turns upside down as he suddenly finds himself the target of a corporate-government witch-hunt. Fearing for his life and fighting to prove his own innocence, Max goes on the run with no one to trust and too many unanswered questions. Max must dust off his own hacking skills and maneuver the dangerous labyrinth of underground hacktivist networks, ever-shifting alliances, and virtual identities — all while hoping to find the truth behind the “Silence of Six” before it’s too late.
I LOVED this book. I read it in one sitting because I literally could not put it down. I think what grabbed me was how realistic the story really is. I felt like something like this could really happen in real life. Max is a very believable and like-able protagonist, and I was on the edge of my seat rooting for him all the way through.
This review will be shorter than normal, because I went into this not knowing anything more than what the Goodreads synopsis says, and I think that was the best way. Going into it without any preconceived ideas allowed me to be swept up and shocked, and it was awesome! I love the idea of "hacktivists" - hackers who hack for a cause or good purpose; they help instead of hurt. This is how I would classify Max and Evan, as well as most of the other hackers in the story.
I rate this story as a solid 4.5 stars and I wish I could explain to you all just how much I am into this book. If you're like me and can't get enough, I have lots of good news! Author E.C. Myers has said he is working on a sequel (YAY!), and there is a short story called "SOS" (a prequel to The Silence of Six) free on Wattpad. You can also watch the thrilling book trailer here, as well as read Courtney's (Max's girlfriend) blog, Full Cort Press, here.
All I have left to say is read it, read it, read it, read it!!
