What will the next world war look like? Find out in this ripping, near-futuristic thriller.
The United States, China, and Russia eye each other across a twenty-first century version of the Cold War, which suddenly heats up at sea, on land, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace. Veteran special forces become low-tech insurgents, teenage hackers battle in digital playgrounds while Silicon Valley billionaires mobilize for all out cyber-war. Ultimately, victory will depend on combining the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future.
