Overview

Sequel to The Inheritor: Although a stand-alone novel, Autumn Fire continues where The Inheritor left off, featuring both the same and new characters and expanding the plot of al Queda's mass terrorism against the West. Inside knowledge: This near-future thriller makes use of cutting-edge warfare technology and the author’s two decades of direct experience within the U.S. military and intelligence communities. Topic: News stories about cyberattacks on U.S infrastructure like the power grid remain constant. Currency: Recent events such as last year's sniper attack at a California power plant that could have resulted in a mass blackout on the West Coast, and Congress's current efforts to prevent such attacks, grounds the plotline solidly in current events and future threats.
