Cyber Division Series

When a cyber terrorist targets the Amish town of Shipshewana, an Amish farmer and a seasoned agent join forces to stop the attack. How do you defend yourself against an attack you can't see?   Nora Brooks has been sent to the small town of Shipshewana to stop a cyber-attack that could kill hundreds. She doesn't realize that she'll need an Amish farmer to do so. Ben Lapp is walking around the corner of his barn when he comes face to face with a woman dressed in black, bleeding from a wound on her right arm, and aiming a gun at him. When he learns why she's there, he wants to do more than stay out of her way. He wants to help her stop this threat to the community and the people that he loves. But the man who is threatening Ben's community has faded into the night, and it's going to take every bit of cunning and instinct these two possess to find and stop him.   This story first appeared in the Summer of Suspense Anthology.

Nora and Randall arrive at the Dallas command center to discover they're facing a coordinated attack from four different cyber terrorists, and at least one of them is on the inside. Midnight Strike is book 2 in Vannetta Chapman's Cyber Terror series. The journey begins with Fading Into the Night, a novella set in the Amish community of Shipshewana which first appeared in the Summer of Suspense Anthology. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. "Have you studied this file at all?" "Sure." "Looks like a cascading attack across transportation, communication, utilities, and medical." "Which is the reason it's a Level 4." "Transportation could stop air travel, ground travel, all traffic cams and lights…" "A real mess in a metroplex the size of Dallas. Then with comms out you have no cell service." "Which means no 9-1-1." Nora suddenly understood the director's concern. Most threats they dealt with hit one, possibly two sectors. They hadn't seen anything this invasive. "Utilities means no gas and electric." "Not as big a deal as it might be in the north. No one is going to freeze to death in Dallas, even in January." "And medical. How does that fit in? It seems…like an overreach." "Most hospitals are hooked up to the grid like everyone else. Tonya told me—" "Tonya, the girl you dated exactly twice?" Randall flashed her a smile. "The same. She was a pharmacist at Johns Hopkins. Told me they can't dispense a pill on their own. It's all done through a giant computer. Doctors put in their codes and the machine dumps out the meds." "They must have a backup plan in case the system goes down." "They have a generator." "Which won't help a bit if our perp has hacked into the actual system." Nora's mind scanned the list of cyber-terrorists they'd encountered over the last ten years. Most were behind bars, but it seemed that for every one they arrested, two more sprouted up. "I can't think of a single cyberbug who has the ability to do something like this." Randall stuffed the small airplane pillow behind his head. He was really going to go to sleep. She couldn't believe it. She nudged him with her foot. "Any idea what we're facing here?" "You're the experienced agent on our team. What do you think it is?" She scanned back over the three pages, then closed the file and stared out the window. "No single group has the capability of doing something like this." "Which means..." "Which means it's a coalition. Something has prompted our cyberbugs to work together." "All the more reason to get some sleep." Ten minutes later Randall was snoring. Sometimes she envied his ability to shut everything off. It didn't work that way for her. It never had.  

Nora Brooks and Randall Goodwin are hot on the trail of a new cyber-terrorist. This time the target is Seattle as well as the lucrative cruise ships docked there. All indications are that daybreak will bring unprecedented destruction. Who was nursing a vendetta against the largest city in the Pacific Northwest as well as the tourist industry? Nora Brooks has dealt with many different kinds of cyber criminals, but she's never come across one whose motive and method she couldn't grasp at all. They'll have to rely on her instinct as well as her partner's coding skills. Randall Goodwin might be the only one who can save the day. For the people of Seattle, their very lives could depend on it. Daybreak is book three in Vannetta Chapman's Cyber Terror series. The journey begins with Fading Into the Night and continues with Midnight Strike.

High Noon Cyber Division Series    Nora Brooks and Randall Goodwin face their toughest assignment yet as they follow a cyber terrorist into the canyons of Zion National Park.   A dozen EMP attacks have been planned to occur on the same day at the same time—high noon. Nora Brooks is going to need all the technical expertise her partner possesses, as well as the rappelling skills of National Park Ranger, Tom Anderson. Together the three might be able to stop the attack in Zion, but even if they do there's no guarantee that the other eleven attacks won't proceed as planned.   Hiking and rappelling on one of the hottest days of the year, a hiker left for dead, a gunshot wound, drones, and a rocket set to launch destruction…in this final episode of Chapman's Cyber Division series, Nora Brooks will confront terrorism as well as the mortality of both her and her partner. Will trusting Tom Anderson turn out to be the worst decision she's ever made? Or the one decision that just might save their lives?
