About this book

An FBI agent pursues a new kind of terrorist through a future Washington, DC in this technothriller. After stopping a bombing at Union Station, FBI Special Agent Lara Keegan is assigned to field-test an advanced police robot. As a series of catastrophes occurs, the two investigate a conspiracy in which the mastermind uses cutting-edge technology to destabilize the nation. The novel is set in a near-future America on the brink of technological and political revolution. All technologies, trends, and scenes are drawn from real-world research, blending technothriller narrative with nonfiction insight into emerging developments.
