Unfortunately, I realized right away that the rush to put put more, more, more by the author left a negative affect here. Early on the story founders a bit, as not enough time was taken to give it depth and only the bard bones were really there. That issue does resolve about halfway through, but the need for line and some content editing, as well as some proof reading was painful. Redundant language detracted and distracted heavily, as did shiftting POVs, loss of narrator voice, andtoo frequent use of geeky language without reference for the reader. There were a few instances of suspense of belief issues as well as several instances of inaccuracies (NSA in the Berlin Airport?)The fact that the story was still absorbing and fun and interesting despite all of this is a testament to Ms. McCray's genuine talent as a writer and storyteller. I find myself torn between wanting to know the rest of the story and supporting the self-commercialization of an author that doesn't really need to sell herself so short. I can only hope in the future she realizes the true value of professional editing at more than just the proofreading level. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Bad *by J***S on February 6, 2014* This sequel picks up as our intrepid computer hacker and her allies again try to save the world from the bad guys. There are a lot of sci-fi gadgets which will boggle the mind unless you are a Star Trek fan, but it is still fiction, and should be viewed that way. There is non-stop action, and travel all around the world, all in less than 24 hours--Amazing! One problem carries over from ENCRYPTED and that is the fact that the computer geeks (at least 3 of them) always have their fingers "flying over the keyboard" searching for something, inputting data, or activating some device. NOT ONCE do they have to "backspace" to correct a wrong key stroke. I find this more difficult to accept than all of the futuristic gadgets.There is another problem, at least from my point of view, but you will have to read CIPHER and make that determination on your own. I am looking forward to the final book in this trilogy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plot Driven, Action Packed *by R***L on April 26, 2013* McCray's second Hacker novel, Cipher, takes the reader on yet another whirling worldwide adventure to save humanity. Typical to formula action-adventure fiction, Cipher's story-line is plot driven. For that reason, it's rapid reading. As with Dan Brown's novels, or Nora Robert's or Stephen King's, it's the formula that hooks readers on the obsession to finish the book. And, it's the formula that has readers eagerly pre-ordering the next installment.Writing by formula, however, challenges the author to continue building engaging characters and developing anticipation and intrigue in their sequels. This is why writing a sequel that's as good as the first novel is difficult. McCray certainly succeeded in maintaining overall quality in her Betrayal series as each of those novels can easily be read as a stand alone novel. I think in Cipher's case, where the focus is more on plot than on further character development, the reader benefits from having read the prequel, Encrypted.Because I feel the world needs more empowered female heroines and because I like that McCray utilizes high technology in this series, I've already started reading Code, the next book in this trilogy. Although I'm dreading which historical sites the Hand heedlessly levels, I am ever curious as to what new "prototypes" mastermind Quirk will unleash and whether there will be a bit more heat simmering the constantly thwarted romance between Ronny and Zack. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/22780180-cipher](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/22780180-cipher) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
