Kill Current - by Oliver Lowe (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A former-spy-turned-professor is pulled back into the fray in this sharp, cinematic geopolitical thriller that combines the international settings of Daniel Silva with the modern tech of Tom Clancy.

CIA Agent Jon Hendricks left the field after a mission went awry and his asset ended up dead. But when his former protégé goes missing, his handler convinces him to return for one last case.

As the body count climbs, Jon and his new partner, Gloria Zhao, learn that all the victims are tied to a mysterious piece of tech: a revolutionary microchip.

It has the ability to enhance nearly every electronic device across all industries. In the wrong hands, it would upend the balance of global technology and power.

Unraveling the cyber mystery across nightclubs in Berlin, car chases in Bersteland, political conferences in Shanghai, and volcanoes in Costa Rica, Jon and Gloria work to unwind the conspiracy before more end up dead and the world order shifts irrevocably.

Compulsive, taut, and full of exhilarating twists, Kill Current touches on the massive stakes of our current technological cold war and brings the spy thriller into the modern age.
