Suspense | Mystery
In Against All Enemies, Richard Clarke warned about
how we were conducting the war against terror. In his
bestselling first novel, The Scorpion's Gate, he
demonstrated what could happen. And now, in
Breakpoint, America's preeminent counterterrorism
expert and #1 bestselling author shows us all what might
come next. The global village--an intricately
intertwined network of technology that binds together the
world's economies, governments, and communication systems.
So large, so vital--and so fragile. Now a sophisticated
group is seeking to "disconnect the globe"--destroying
computer grids, communications satellites, Internet cable
centers, biotech firms. Hard to do? If only that were so.
Quickly, a dedicated team of men and women assembles to
try to track the group down, searching through right-wing
militias and Russian organized crime, Jihadist terrorists
and enemy nation-states. But the attacks are coming more
swiftly now, and growing in destructiveness. Soon, they will
reach the breakpoint--and then there may be nothing anybody
can do. In an exclusive video message for Amazon.com
customers, Richard Clarke introduces his new novel, and
explains why, as he says, "sometimes you can tell more truth
through fiction":
Reviewers everywhere praised the suspense and pace of The
Scorpion's Gate, the vivid depictions of war, espionage,
and bureaucracy, but most of all they hailed its
authenticity. "Unlike most novelists, the man has been there
and done that," said The New York Times Book Review.
"Some of us," added The Washington Post, "have
learned to listen when Richard A. Clarke has something to
say." And we'd better hope they're listening now.
