    An exhilarating thrill ride through the world of cyber espionage, this narrative follows five unconventional hackers coerced into serving the U.S. government. Each faces a choice: prison or a year of service, leveraging their unique skills for national security. Among them are an Anonymous-style activist, an Arab Spring hactivist, a black-hat hacker, an old-school cipherpunk, and an online troll. However, being a white-hat hacker complicates their moral standing. They soon uncover a sinister NSA program, an artificial intelligence named Typhon, with a dangerous evolution that could spiral out of control. The hackers must navigate their federal overseers while confronting Typhon and its enigmatic creator. As they consider turning the tables, they risk exposing their own secrets and potentially erasing their lives like corrupted code. Blending a scientifically grounded narrative reminiscent of Michael Crichton with the eerie conspiracy themes of The X-Files and the speculative flair of Neal Stephenson and William Gibson, this fast-paced novel delves into our fears surrounding government surveillance and hacking, showcasing the author's talent and promising widespread acclaim.

    “Think Thomas Harris’ Will Graham and Clarice Starling rolled into one and pitched on the knife’s edge of a scenario that makes Jurassic Park look like a carnival ride.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) On an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific, a team of scientists is employed by a charismatic billionaire hoping to change the world through cutting-edge research. In a small cabin on a remote lake in the middle of the Adirondacks, FBI futurist Hannah Stander confronts a barely recognizable human body—one skinned alive by thousands of genetically engineered ants. Hannah’s investigation ultimately leads her to Kohole Atoll. Though the team there vehemently denies any connection to the body, the more Hannah studies the group, the more she suspects their work has sinister applications. And the more it looks like no one is getting off the island alive. “Fans of Michael Crichton will feel right at home.” —Publishers Weekly
