Snake Handlers
Σχετικά με το ηχητικό βιβλίο
Launch facilities for weapons of mass destruction on the Korean Peninsula must be destroyed before they can be used against the West by the North Korean military dictator and his Neo-Soviet allies, potentially escalating the fighting and forcing a break with the NATO alliance that could lead to massive retaliation and global war, a move which would play into the hands of expansionist militarists in the Kremlin.
At the same time an AI threat looms, one created by the Pentagon itself in the form of SINDARELA, a super-intelligent cloud computer that has plans of its own which spell trouble for the entire human race.
This is a thriller by David Alexander, author of Under Attack, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon, and other award-winning fiction and acclaimed nonfiction titles.

David Alexander's novels and nonfiction titles have won critical acclaim from USA Today, The New York Times, The London Times, The Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, The Wall Street Journal and many other venues in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
His prizewinning thriller, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon, reached first place on numerous bestseller lists including those of The New York Times and USA Today. The Times called Threatcon Delta, "... surely one of the best technothrillers to come along in a great while." USA Today also praised the thriller, declaring, "Alexander once again turns newspaper headlines into riveting high-tech military action fiction with that special combination of cinematic thrills and chills and fly-on-the-wall accounts of back room crisis management in the making ..."
Dubbed "an Ian Fleming for the 21st Century" by one reviewer, David Alexander has written and published in virtually every literary category, including novels, novelettes, short fiction, poetry, essays and film scripts. Investigative journalism, technical writing on defense-related subjects and short fiction over Alexander's byline have appeared in US and international periodicals that have ranged from the glossy pages of Penthouse Magazine to the more sober leaves of the global defense journal Military Technology.
His books and shorter writings have been translated into seven languages, including Italian, German and Japanese. Alexander is an inveterate traveler and among the alumni of literary passengers to have boarded the Orient-Express; he has often used it as a basis for plot and reportage. Unlike the authors who have sold out, who are as interchangeable as cogs in a wheel, author David Alexander prefers to throw away the rule book whenever possible. Each new novel he pens must challenge him and must present a story told powerfully, yet freshly and originally. Each effort must compel him to deliver the best he has to offer.
