Overview


When a ruthless criminal syndicate pairs up with a rogue cyber-spy, standard military rules no longer apply. Facing off against this double threat are three distinct forces: a hardened elite special ops team, a tenacious trio of sleuth-scientists, and relentless federal law enforcement agents.

From terrorist-sponsored hacking and corporate infiltration to high-octane tactical combat, every move made in the shadows echoes far beyond the battlefield. The actions of these opposing factions will directly shape federal investigations, sway military outcomes, and dictate the fate of national security.

Trails is a fast-paced cyber-spy techno-thriller where pioneering technology, high-stakes espionage, and international intrigue collapse into a desperate fight for global peace.

Description


An elite special operations forces (SOF) team waits to intercept a terrorist squad en route to Europe from Africa. Intelligence is limited, and the SOF warriors may have underestimated the strength of their foes. Team leader and marine, Major David Worthington, understands the rules are different now. An enterprising transnational crime group, the Distributed Range Cooperative, trained the Americans' terrorist foes. The Cooperative plans to infiltrate a U.S. company to gain a unique foothold in hacking systems, and they plan to use their premier agent, a South American engineer. This spy retrieves top-secret military plans to prepare his clients for the inevitable rematch with Worthington's team. However, the company's stubborn president stands against them, and he needs to be subdued first by way of a romantic encounter. An unlikely trio of sleuth-scientists suspects the Distributed Range Cooperative engineer is committing serious transgressions. Their initial failures to make any progress on implicating the South American with hard evidence stress an already tenuous working relationship. The opportunistic scientists' persistent efforts lead to a lucky break, which offers hope in justice's favor. Many twists and turns await from the battlefield to cyberspace to law enforcement pursuits. Can world peace and justice prevail? Suspense, intrigue, pioneering technology, and much more await in John Jameson's novel, "Trails," a cyber spy techno-thriller.
