Darklight AI

Jonathan Matthews is the world's youngest self-made billionaire, yet few would trade places with him. Wife, dead. Daughters, dead. Now comes the Russian mafia, Ukrainian hackers and a bio-engineered virus unleashed as a Middle East power play. It has been seven years since his wife and daughters were killed in what some thought was a random act of violence; seven years, and the killers are still free.

Jonathan has finally recovered enough to seek answers the State Department has failed to provide. Recover might not be the right word, but at least he hasn't had a drink in a while. He learns there was nothing random about the violence that took his wife and kids.

It is said, The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Jonathan Matthews will no longer do nothing. He draws the sword of bleeding-edge technology, assembles an arsenal of international corporations, and jumps into the murky world of Middle East jihad, the Russian mob, Ukrainian ransom ware, and the Israeli Mossad.

It's not that easy. The army of computer specialists and old school boots on the ground is betrayed. Jonathan's secret micro-drone technology has been sold to the killer of his family who plans to use it and bio-engineered viruses to kill millions during the Hajj. The goal: topple the House of Saud, seize Mecca and change the balance of power in the Middle East. Now, Jonathan must set aside his personal tragedy and stop the coming Muslim Holocaust.
