Written by two US Navy veterans, Rules of Engagement is a national security thriller about the most pervasive threat of our modern era.
Rafiq Roshed is the most wanted man in the world. A terrorist with a virulent grudge against the West, he’s disappeared into the shadowy depths of North Korea and the service of Kim Jong-un. But now he’s about to unleash his virtual masterpiece — a computer virus that learns the art of war.
As low-level incidents pile up all over the South China Sea, Don Riley, head of U.S. Cyber Command, puts his best tech team -- a trio of talented U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen -- on the job. What they discover stops him cold: the Chinese military has lost control of their armed forces to a cyber weapon.
But that’s not all: the same virus has infected the US command and control network. It’s only a matter of time before the two great nations collide into World War III.
Weapons fly on both sides. Casualty rates skyrocket. Riley’s only play is to stop the attack at its source deep inside North Korea.
Before time runs out.
Rules of Engagement is a tale of 21st century warfare in which the cyber realm of ones and zeroes can morph into bullets and bombs in the blink of an eye.
