While running tests on a popular microprocessor, gifted chip
designer Ethan Alon makes a puzzling discovery: an undocumented
section with unknown functions. Ethan and his friend Rina Hardin
crack the encryption and discover a clandestine network monitoring
defense systems around the world, but especially focused on the
Middle East.
With the help of military analyst Barrett Parker, they discover
the program is the work of scientists from Project Flower-an actual
Israeli-Iranian missile program from the 1970s. These scientists
came to mistrust politicians and generals and designed a system to
prevent or at least limit wars. Their program is astounding, but it
has a flaw-the Samson Heuristic.
The flaw becomes apparent when intelligence operations come
undone and overtax the system. American, Iranian, and Israeli
militaries are on high alert, and war seems imminent. Ethan and
Rina race to fix the Samson Heuristic while in a Tel Aviv command
center-under the noses of generals who know nothing of Samson.
Meanwhile, Barrett and like-minded analysts build opposition to war
from inside bureaus in Washington and Jerusalem.
The future of the Middle East lies in the balance.
