"Tomorrow War: Serpent Road: A Novel (2) (The Chronicles of Max)" by J. L. Bourne
 https://www.amazon.com/Tomorrow-War-Serpent-Novel-Chronicles/dp/1501116703/
Book number two of a two book dark fantasy dystopian series.  I read the well printed and and well bound trade paperback published by Gallery Books in 2017 that I bought new from Amazon.  I have no idea if there will be more books in the series but I doubt it.
In the first book, 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.
The second book continues the nightmare as the electronic worm strikes anything with a computer running it.  All communications are down and all just in time inventory systems are crashed.  The USA is being invaded by other countries and the administration in charge of the USA seeks to turn the USA into a dictatorship with the USA Constitution being fully suspended for the duration of the emergency.
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:

For those who do not like Lionel Shriver, I recommend “Distraction" by Bruce Sterling:
    https://www.amazon.com/Distraction-Bruce-Sterling/dp/1857989287/
For those who just want a short term financial apocalypse of the USA, I recommend “Buck Out” by Ken Benton:

Amazon rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars (739 reviews)
