DESCRIPTION

Bestselling author, Allen Wyler, (Dead End Deal, Deadly Errors, Dead Ringer, Dead Wrong) is back with a new breakout suspense thriller with a “techno edge”:  Deadly Odds.

Twenty-three year old Arnold Gold is a Seattle-based odds-maker and local computer genius.  Described as a "part-time hacker and full-time virgin" by his friends, the awkward young shut-in flies to Vegas to try and get lucky--in more ways than one.  But his high stakes activity on the Net inadvertently thrusts him into a vortex of international terrorism.

Dark Net Hacking has resulted in murder, and now it will take every last bit of Arnold's genius intellect and legendary hacking skill to stay one step ahead of the murderous terrorists, the FBI, the local cops and his lawyer.  Gold's only chance to save himself is to find a bomb hidden somewhere in Vegas, and somehow prevent the explosion that will turn Sin City into the scene of the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11.

Wyler's wild new thriller is as horrifyingly plausible as it is darkly funny and enjoyable.  Deadly Odds is not only a page-turner, it's a terrific character-driven story about a young man who lives life through a computer and discovers its dark side.  Edgy, twitchy and filled with enough tech savvy detail to keep both the techno-thriller and classic suspense fan enthralled, Deadly Odds is a new generation's thrill ride.

Dear Krystal, 

As part of my author's blog tour this holiday season, we're offering to run a giveaway of his book if you and your readers would be interested.  (we can offer either Kindle/Nook ebooks or new print copies as prizes, whichever you'd like).

Deadly Odds--the title for giveaway--is the latest thriller by Allen Wyler with a unique tie-in to the world of dark net hacking and terrorism. (http://amzn.to/1xU0TeM ) The story follows a young computer genius as he goes on a trip to Vegas to “get lucky,” and he eventually crosses a group of international terrorists who want to use his dark net hacking skill to plot a deadly attack. (SEE BOOK RELEASE BELOW).   

The book was great fun for me, even though I usually read women's fiction. And even though I have zero hacking experience, the author made the world of computers accessible to me through the many plot twists. Besides the thrills, I found it to be a really unique take on the power of personal consumer tech (for either good or bad).

Anyway, if you’re interested in running the giveaway, the rules would be up to you--all we ask is that you include a synopsis of the book with links. We can ship the prize print copy of Deadly Odds to your winner, or send an ebook to him/her as a Kindle/Nook gift, preferably before Christmas. If you'd like to participate (and I hope you do!), just let me know and I can send along information, links, graphics etc. for the post.

Thank you!

Nicole
