"A white-knuckle adventure . . . This near-future was crafted by
experts, and it shows."-Daniel H. Wilson, New York Times
best-selling author of Robopocalypse "Fantastic, compelling, and
authoritative." -General David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.) An FBI
agent hunts a new kind of terrorist through a Washington, DC, of
the future in this ground-breaking book-at once a gripping
technothriller and a fact-based tour of tomorrow. America is on the
brink of a revolution, one both technological and political. After
narrowly stopping a bombing at Washington's Union Station, FBI
Special Agent Lara Keegan receives a new assignment: to field-test
an advanced police robot. As a series of shocking catastrophes
unfolds, the two find themselves investigating a conspiracy whose
mastermind is using cutting-edge tech to rip the nation apart. With
every tech, trend, and scene drawn from real-world research,
Burn-In blends a techno-thriller's excitement with nonfiction's
insight to illuminate the darkest corners of the world soon to
come.
Ghost Fleet is a page-turning imagining of a war set in the
not-too-distant future. Navy captains battle through a modern-day
Pearl Harbour; fighter pilots duel with stealthy drones; teenage
hackers fight in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley billionaires
mobilise for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own
vendetta. Ultimately, victory will depend on who can best blend the
lessons of the past with the weapons of the future. But what makes
the story even more notable is that every trend and technology in
book - no matter how sci-fi it may seem - is real. The debut novel
by two leading experts on the cutting edge of national security,
Ghost Fleet has drawn praise as a new kind of techno thriller while
also becoming the new "must-read" for military leaders around the
world.
