Root Access - (001337) by Carl Dobner (Paperback)

About the Book

A socially invisible fourteen-year-old quietly fixes his school's ransomware attack - and finds himself recruited into the UK's most elite youth cyber intelligence programme.

Book Synopsis

The invisible kid in detention turns out to be the most dangerous person in the building.

Eli Marsh is fourteen, forgettable, and unremarkable by every measure his school uses. When ransomware cripples the school network, he quietly fixes it, says nothing, and walks back to class. That act of invisible competence draws him into ClearPath - a government-linked hacking training programme - and introduces him to three people who will become his team.

By the end of Book One, Eli has his first government contact, his first CTF podium finish, and the first inkling of what he might actually be built for.

001337 is the cyber-age YA thriller series for readers who want their hacking real and their characters honest. Real tools. Real terminology. Real incidents, fictionalised.

This is the spy thriller reinvented for the generation that grew up online.
