Terrorism has without a doubt always been a major issue in many countries around the world. Due to technological advancements, cyberterrorism has become more common in our generation. The required security measures are being taken by more and more countries to upgrade their cyberspace and defenses. Cyberterrorism and romance are major themes in Dorothy May Mercer's superb thriller, Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War.

Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War by Dorothy May Mercer depicts the unwitting cyberwar waged by American patriots against Islamist terrorists and extremists. With Glenn's help, Cynthia and other computer nerds are recruited to help them thwart terrorist organizations and activities. Cynthia is the mastermind behind all of these operations. One fateful day, a drone crashes on the White House lawn, causing a traffic jam in the city center where Cynthia meets Sky, a man who seems to know her very well. He seems to know a lot about Cynthia, which worries her, but she knows very little about him and his history. This book raises a variety of concerns, including: Can these patriots be successful in their audacious mission? Who is Sky? Is she a means by which he approaches the senator? Is he reliable? Read this book to find the answers.

There are many outstanding aspects of this work, many of which deserve special mention. The first of these is the character description. I have to agree that the author did a great job in this regard. The second is how Dorothy builds suspense and then unravels it.
This book furthered my understanding of human fallibility. Cynthia's romantic life was very different from her career life, which was described as being so ideal. The book, for instance, talked about how committed she was to her profession and how she had gained Senator Mike McBride's trust, but on the other side, she had given Sky easy and cheap access to her life and work.

I noticed the author veered off course a few times. There were also some character defects in the main characters of this book. Notwithstanding my observations of these gaps, I still enjoyed the book.

I will give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I discovered no errors in the book, which indicates that the book was exceptionally edited. I suggest this book to readers who enjoy romantic fiction and cybersecurity. Only mature individuals should read this book since it has explicit content.

We all love a book that makes our heartbeat speed up, will they win the race, would the hackers be successful, will the police get the thieves? Things like this give the book flavour.

The famous Cynthia and can't cyber war. I really love reading this book. I loved sky's character. The only downside I noticed was how cynthia reacted to sky. Although I could understand why because of the images the words created.
