Book 3

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.
