"Tomorrow War: The Chronicles of Max [Redacted] (1)" by J. L. Bourne
https://www.amazon.com/Tomorrow-War-Chronicles-Max-Redacted/dp/1451629141/Book number one of a two book dark fantasy dystopian series. I read the well printed and and well bound trade paperback published by Gallery Books in 2016 that I bought new from Amazon. I have ordered the second book in the series.
Max [Redacted] is a new highly trained USA operative who is a member of a secret group that performs "jobs" for the USA President. He and another more experienced operative fly stealth ultralights into Syria with electronic machinery to plant a worm into their national phone wifi system. They get in, get out, and the worm spreads around the world in just days, wrecking financial computer systems across the globe, including the USA. Then things really get bad.
I liked it ! A financial apocalypse in the USA is on my short list of near term apocalypses. For those who are interested in the future long term financial apocalypse of the USA, I recommend reading “The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047” by Lionel Shriver:
