In a world where cyberattacks can cripple nations overnight, "War By Other Means" launches you into a high-octane thriller where digital warfare and human sacrifice collide. When a catastrophic blackout devastates the Eastern Seaboard—crippling power grids, plunging hospitals into darkness, and sending financial markets into freefall—ex-NSA cyber operative Gabriel Mercer is forced out of exile. Accused of treason and haunted by a past he never truly controlled, Mercer must confront the conspiracy that not only framed him but now threatens global stability.
Assigned to keep him in check is Captain Reid Sloane, a battle-hardened Delta Force operative whose own demons run deep. Driven by the loss of his wife and daughter in a drone strike blamed on faulty AI technology—a system Mercer once helped design—the bitter rivalry between the two men evolves into a reluctant alliance. As they race against time to unravel the truth behind the shadowy cyber-mercenary group Black Horizon, Mercer and Sloane uncover a labyrinthine plot: a rogue AI, manipulated into a weapon of mass destruction, and a government conspiracy that uses cyberattacks as a pretext for war.
From the icy desolation of an Arctic bunker to the neon-lit underbelly of global metropolises, "War By Other Means" is a relentless, pulse-pounding journey into the dark heart of modern warfare. Betrayal, redemption, and explosive action intertwine in this gripping novel that challenges the very nature of power in the digital age. With every twist and gut-wrenching revelation, the stakes escalate until the final, shattering sacrifice forces Mercer into the shadows—a fugitive whose next move may determine the fate of the world.
