'The novel is an absorbing briefing on cyberwarfare as well as a
masterclass in characterisation' SUNDAY TIMES Thriller of the Month
From the author of Harry's Game - A Sunday Times '100 best crime
novels and thrillers since 1945' pick There is a new cold war
raging and its frontline warriors are Russian hackers -
gang-members working freelance for the FSB, successor to the KGB.
Massive thefts of personal information, electoral interference,
catastrophic disruption of commercial and social services, banks,
airlines, even whole countries disabled - this is happening now.
Nicknamed 'Boot' because of his obsession with the Duke of
Wellington and the battle of Waterloo, Edwin Coker is a case
officer at the Vauxhall headquarters of MI6. When a young hacker
falls into his hands and reveals details of a secret meeting, Boot
conceives a daring plan to strike back - not with a computer virus
of his own, but with a bomb that will seriously damage the Russian
operation, spreading fear and distrust. Now Boot and his little
team need a 'deniable' handler to deliver the explosives across the
border from Estonia into Russia and bring the hacker back out. They
turn to Merc, an ex-soldier fighting in Iraq, a gun-for-hire who
knows how to get out of a tight spot. They hope. From the moment
Merc sets out to cross the River Narva things do not go to plan and
when the hacker's sister becomes involved, his mission turns from
tough to near impossible. The scene is set for a classic story of
pursuit and evasion and an epic battle for survival.
