From a top cyber security expert, a high-action thriller following the desperate search for the criminals behind a world-threatening computer virus. Utrecht, The Netherlands. 13 February 2034. A self-driving car is hacked and its safety features deactivated, causing a deadly accident. NATO, supervising global internet security, realizes the whole world is in danger when soon afterwards two more attacks occur. Europol inspector Lara Hartman and communications specialist Frank Willems are at the forefront of a desperate manhunt for the criminals behind these acts of cyber terrorism. Everything seems to be pointing to a dangerous computer virus. But time is running out, and they must find an antivirus that can prevent evil from striking again... “Reads like a James Bond movie” — full of twists that keep you engaged, a thriller that entertains while making readers more cyber-aware. -- German journalist at Cyber Security Magazine ― The Last Watchdog "In today’s threat landscape — shaped by AI acceleration, ransomware-as-a-service, and politicized disinformation — The Virus feels eerily plausible. Its fictional twists are anchored in real-world behaviors and known vulnerabilities. Because Willems never strays too far from facts, the book functions as both gripping story and subtle cybersecurity literacy. It doesn’t preach, but it lands with urgency." -- Pulitzer Prize Winner, Byron V. Acohido ― The Last Watchdog Eddy Willems is a globally recognized cyber security evangelist.
