Blackout

When the President of the United States is assassinated in a coordinated drone strike, the country plunges into chaos. But the attack isn't terrorism.

It's strategy.

Behind the assassination stands Tracy Ciacchella, a brilliant and ruthless leader of a shadowy global cabal known only as New3-a powerful alliance determined to accelerate the collapse of American dominance. Their plan is chilling in its simplicity: eliminate the president, cripple the nation's power grid, and plunge the United States into darkness long enough for rival superpowers to seize the advantage.

Civil engineer Jake Bendel never expected to find himself on the front lines of that war. As one of the architects of America's revolutionary AI-driven energy grid, he helped design the very system now being weaponized against his country.

When cascading blackouts sweep across the nation and martial law looms, Jake teams up with FBI agent Kristi Konnors to track the network orchestrating the attacks. What they uncover is far more dangerous than a cyberattack-an international conspiracy positioned to hand America's collapse to China and Russia.

Then the conspiracy becomes personal.

Evidence begins to surface that Jake's wife Cynthia-presumed dead for years-may still be alive, trapped inside the organization behind the plot.

Now Jake must stop a war before it begins.

Because if the lights go out across America, the invasion won't be far behind.

And the people who built the system may be the only ones who can stop it.

Perfect for fans of David Baldacci and Tom Clancy, BLACKOUT is a high-stakes techno-thriller packed with cutting-edge technology, geopolitical intrigue, and relentless suspense.
