A new technology called the blockchain is taking the world by storm. Its proponents claim it's the biggest thing since the Internet, and everyone is climbing on board - including the global banking system.But is it secure? The banks hire cybersecurity super-sleuth Frank Adversego to oversee the project, and he's not so sure. Meanwhile, Russian troops are massing on the European and the Kremlin is using a financial blockchain of its own to make a joke out of Western economic sanctions.Soon, Adversego is faced with massive hacker attacks, a deepening crisis between East and West, and the machinations of an unstable blockchain genius bent on overthrowing global governments in order to create a brave, new, anarchist world.Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing. The result is a book you can't put down that tells you things you might wish you didn't know. Admiral James G. Stavridis, retired Commander, U.S. European Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and current Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy Andrew Updegrove's Frank Adversego thrillers are realistic page-turners, making it clear that if you're not worried about cybersecurity you're not paying attention. Internationally renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier

As advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics accelerate, new devices of mass destruction loom on the horizon. Like the atomic bomb, these "lethal autonomous weapons systems" raise moral dilemmas for their creators. But they also inspire fears unknown to their Manhattan Project forebearers, because warbots have the potential to go rogue and attack civilians - or even their own makers. In the Argus Affair, U.S. president Henry Dodge Yazzi confronts the challenge head on, and recruits cybersecurity expert Frank Adversego to support an effort to avert an arms race with the Chinese that could have potentially catastrophic results. But unknown to all, another force to be reckoned with has plans of its own. Soon, the world's leading artificial intelligence and robotics experts find themselves in a dire situation that none could have imagined and perhaps no one can control.
