Synopsis: What would happen if a nation-state really did launch a serious cyberattack against the United States, perhaps as part of something larger? Jerry Barkley never worked for the government. An IT contractor from Minnesota, he knows nothing about International espionage. But now he's on the front lines of the largest cyber-attack in history and nobody believes his warnings when Jerry discovers the attackers are gathering data to plan a series of bombings and a biological attack. To make things worse, the FBI suspects he's the attacker. Hundreds have already died in bombings and thousands more could die, first from Ebola and then potentially from war with the wrong enemy. Facing willful ignorance and a hostile law-enforcement bureaucracy, Jerry is forced to take action. If he doesn't, who will? He must leave his keyboard comfort zone, armed with nothing but IT skills and quick wits, and go face-to-face with elite foreign agents and shut the attack down.
