Brigitte Sharpe returns to confront ransomware and a mysterious hacker named 'Tempus'. As she navigates the dark web and international threats, she races to prevent a global disaster.
In The Tempus Project, Brigitte Sharpe returns to confront a new wave of cyber threats, including ransomware, cryptocurrency, and the looming challenge of turning thirty. As an MI6 officer and elite hacker, Brigitte previously thwarted a major terror attack in London involving stolen military drone technology. Now, she faces a series of sophisticated hacks orchestrated by a mysterious figure known only as 'Tempus,' who is brazenly targeting politicians and government officials.
As Brigitte delves deeper into this cyber conspiracy, she uncovers a connection to a cyber-attack planned for the London G20 summit. Her investigation leads her into the treacherous realms of the dark web, where she encounters Russian hackers and an African rebel militia. The stakes escalate as she races against time to thwart a disaster that could shift the balance of global power.
With its gripping narrative and intricate plot, The Tempus Project stands out as a compelling techno-thriller. Brigitte Sharpe is portrayed as a complex character—flawed yet determined—drawing comparisons to iconic figures in the genre. The book captures the urgency of contemporary cyber threats while providing a thrilling reading experience that resonates with the challenges of today's digital landscape.
