Thriller
A frighteningly plausible, fast-paced thriller about a
Russian cyberattack on America, involving fake news and
anonymous hackers. A frighteningly plausible, fast-paced thriller about a
Russian cyberattack on America, involving fake news and
anonymous hackers. The CIA has learned that the Kremlin is about to launch a
sophisticated propaganda operation aimed at discrediting and
disrupting the United States and ultimately restoring Russia
to great nation status. Intercepted intelligence suggests
that the operation will hinge on a single, breaking news
event in Eastern Europe, supported by a sustained campaign
of disinformation and cyberattacks. Code-named the
"Children’s Game"--a chess stratagem that leads to checkmate
in four moves--it was probably conceived by a Russian
billionaire and former FSB officer named Andrei Turov. For
years Turov has been developing the infrastructure for a new
kind of warfare that exploits weaknesses in western
democracies and manipulates public opinion. His organization
offers the Kremlin plausible deniability. But the United States has its own secret weapon: Christopher
Niles, a former CIA intelligence officer, who understands
Turov's ambitions and capabilities. It falls to him and his
small team--composed of his journalist half-brother Jon, a
special forces operative he would trust with his life, and
Anna Carpenter, a resourceful US senator with deep roots in
the intelligence community--to unravel Turov's plot and
restore truth to a world spiraling into chaos. The Children's Game is a frighteningly realistic,
timely thriller that delves into the secret corners of
Vladimir Putin's Russia, exploring the shifting world order
and the murky realm of US-Russia relations.
