Assured Destruction Blog Tour

Assured Destruction Book Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Jan Rose knows that nothing is ever truly deleted. At
least, not from the hard drives she scours to create the online
identities she calls the Shadownet.

Hobby? Art form? Sad, pathetic plea to garner friendship, even
virtually? Sure, Jan is guilty on all counts. Maybe she’s even
addicted to it. It’s an exploration. Everyone has something to hide.
The Shadownet’s hard drives are Jan’s secrets. They're stolen from her
family’s computer recycling business Assured Destruction. If the
police found out, Jan’s family would lose their livelihood.

When the real people behind Shadownet’s hard drives endure vicious
cyber attacks, Jan realizes she is responsible. She doesn’t know who
is targeting these people or why but as her life collapses Jan must
use all her tech savvy to bring the perpetrators to justice before she
becomes the next victim.

Michael F. Stewart's Bio:
After crewing ships in the Antarctic and the Baltic Sea and some fun
in venture capital, Michael anchored himself (happily) to a marriage
and a boatload of kids. Now he injects his adventurous spirit into his
writing with brief respites for research into the jungles of Sumatra
and Guatemala, the ruins of Egypt and Tik’al, paddling the Zambezi and
diving whatever cave or ocean reef will have him. He is a member of
the International Thriller Writers and SF Canada, and the author of
the Assured Destruction series, 24 Bones, The Sand Dragon, Hurakan,
Ruination and several award winning graphic novels for young adults.
