A secret society holding the world in balance. A hacker that has been pushed too far—and is about to push back. The only comfort teenager Haylie Black knows is in the world of technology—coding late into the night, building cool gadgets, and occasionally breaking into places where she doesn’t belong. But Haylie’s world is turned upside down when she learns shocking news: her brother has vanished attempting to solve an Internet puzzle known as “Raven 2309.” To find him, Haylie must enter an unknown world, circling the globe and uncovering the dangerous group behind Raven’s design, to outsmart a puzzle that has never been solved; the puzzle called “The Greatest Mystery on the Internet.” Crash Alive is a next-generation thriller, featuring hacking techniques ripped from today’s headlines, real-world secret societies, and puzzles that will keep readers turning the next page, trying their best to stay one step ahead. Early reviews for Crash Alive: “A thrill-ride from beginning to end, a book whose story is as riveting as the technology that Kerns uses to bring it to life. This is the must-read thriller of the year.” – Erik Qualman, Pulitzer Prize Nominee and Author of Spartan Island
