About this ebook

In this ripped from the headlines thriller written before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an autocratic Russian president masses troops on the border of a former Soviet state, poised to invade.

Meanwhile, the world’s banks have adopted a new technology called blockchain. But is it safe? To be sure, they hire cybersecurity super-sleuth Frank Adversego. Soon, he’s faced with massive hacker attacks, a crisis between Russia and the US, and an unstable genius bent on overthrowing global governments to create a brave, new, anarchist world.

Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing. The result is a book you can't put down that tells you things you might wish you didn't know.

- Admiral James G. Stavridis, retired Commander, U.S. European Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and current Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy

Andrew Updegrove's Frank Adversego thrillers are realistic page-turners, making it clear that if you're not worried about cybersecurity you're not paying attention.

- Internationally renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier

If you arr not an IT or finace person that knows what goes on in the crypto markets dont bother. Up until page 40 the jargon and the IT related writing does not make sense and is very boring.

About the author

I've been representing technology companies for more than thirty years, and work with many of the organizations seeking to thwart cyber-attacks before they occur. When I'm not writing or predicting the next cyber-disaster, I'm likely roaming the back country of the American southwest in my Jeep, scouting out settings for his next book. I spend summers on an island off the coast of Maine and winters in southwest Florida.
