Deadly Odds: Book 6
Publication Date: August 11, 2023
In Allen Wyler’s 6.0 installment of the Deadly Odds techno-thriller series, Arnold Gold—reformed hacker turned security consultant—lands a vital contract for his fledgling company—a penetration test of both the computer and physical security of a high-profile law firm. Up against the clock and a formidable and vindictive enemy, Head of Security Itzhak Mizrahi, Arnold and his team race to stay one step ahead of capture during a daring attempt to breach the client’s security systems.
Arnold Gold is chomping at the bit for an opportunity to land his security company’s first client for penetration testing, which will pit his team of ethical hackers against a client’s security system.
His dream job is a nightmare for Itzhak Mizrahi, who is responsible for maintaining security at Larkin Standish, a prominent law firm. They go head to head in the latest techno-thriller by Allen Wyler.
While Deadly Odds 6.0 is part of a series, it is easily enjoyed as a standalone. The author’s crisp dialog brings the characters to life, allowing their unique personalities to shine.
Even for those of us not particularly skilled in the world of hacking, the storyline is easy to follow. Typically, these exercises are conducted randomly without anyone knowing they are happening, but this case comes with a twist.
There’s an intriguing opportunity for Gold and his team at the end, which will likely be featured in the next installment.
Deadly Odds 6.0 delivers a high-tech storyline with dynamic characters embarking on a fast-paced adventure.
Allen’s thrillers have twice been nominated for the prestigious Thriller Award. He has served on the Board of Directors of the International Thriller Writers and is also an active member of the North American Crime Writers and Mystery Writers of America. He lives in Seattle.
