“On the title page it is stated that, “The book is meant to be a warning of what very well may happen if policies, laws, and business directions are not changed quickly.” I think that this book would be a relevant read to anyone who has ever pondered what the effects of sending jobs offshore may be and to those that have fears about the future of the world. Hughes does a great job of presenting a detailed account of just how everything may unfortunately play out. The writing is interesting and will definitely get the reader’s attention and open their eyes to changes that need to be made. For those that are up-to-date on current events, the scenarios presented in the book will hit all too close to home. Hopefully the events that occur in the fictional “Infinite Exposure” will not become a reality in the not-too-distant future.”

“CIA operatives, al- Qaeda terrorists, Neo-Nazis, unscrupulous IT consultants and bumbling bankers are all expertly portrayed in Roland Hughes’ timely novel Infinite Exposure. Hughes, whose previous works have been in the IT field, has taken his intimate knowledge of the computer world and weaved it into a book that takes the reader into a frightening realm of possibilities where nuclear war is just one computer keystroke away.”
- Ellen Feld
Roland says, “There is no ‘main’ character. There are multiple stories here, all with their own set of characters, mostly ensemble. The book was primarily written to make people think about those things they take for granted in their daily lives.
How would your life change if all credit cards and ATM cards were suddenly unavailable for months? What if all banks had to halt operations until they could complete a ground-up hand count audit of who had how much? In truth, the main character is the reader who is sitting back watching their life be destroyed on CNN.
People need to ask their bank or financial institution where their data center really is. If it isn't in a NATO country, they had best move their money. It isn't a question of IF, but a question of WHEN this attack will come. Some of the smaller follow on scenarios have already had dry runs.
