Description
Vladimir Putin is finally about to retire and has handpicked his replacement. But what Putin doesn’t know, is that Alexei Navalny is a double agent, the Russian oligarchs want him dead, and only the CIA can save him. BYTE (Dunn Books; October 2, 2018) is the stunning new political thriller by Eric C. Anderson.
There are no last names at the CIA, only monikers, and “Roller” is no exception. The moniker was inspired by her use of a wheelchair, but make no mistake—this witty, wise-cracking and pistol-packing African-American agent is also the most brilliant cyber warfare expert ever to grace the halls of Langley.
When Roller’s bosses discover that the balance of power between the U.S. and Russia is about to run off the rails, she’s called upon to head a cyber strike team and face off with a doppelganger female hacker from the underbelly of the Dark Net. But there’s $50 billion of oligarch money at play and bitcoins to intercept that could kill tens of thousands of innocents. Some days it just doesn’t pay to roll into work.
BYTE is the techno-thriller that spirals us into an underworld of cybernauts who can make kings or break them and shatter civilizations with a keystroke.
Advance Praise
“Former intelligence officer Eric C. Anderson hits his stride with Byte, an insider novel about geopolitical insanity and cataclysmic brinksmanship. This caustic, brilliant narrative takes us less than a decade into the future, Chuck Schumer is President, Vladimir Putin is facing his own endgame, and the world is up for grabs. This is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, readers will come away knowing more about cyber conflicts and crypto-currencies than they ever dreamed of. They’ll also be sleeping less well at night. Byte is not to be missed.”
—Steven Hartov, best-selling author of In the Company of Heroes
