About the Story
In an era dominated by the internet and malevolent hackers’ insidious threats lurk unseen, the keys to triumph often lie in the past…
Effortlessly blending dual timelines, GOING DARK: A Liberty Unit Novel is a propulsive deep dive into the clandestine world of hacking and cyberterrorism, underscoring the fragility of a society inexplicably reliant on technology.
Paul Knox, a seasoned NSA cybersecurity expert and former Air Force communications officer, is thrust into a clandestine conflict spanning generations. As Knox delves into a complex web of cyber intrigue, he must confront both the mission’s high stakes and personal demons, including the unwitting involvement of his daughter, Emma, a brilliant MIT computer scientist who holds the key to the next-generation internet.
The narrative intertwines with the origin story of the Liberty Unit’s first member, John “Jack” Jouett. In 1791, Jouett embarks on a perilous mission to deliver a critical message from Thomas Jefferson to General Henry Knox, altering the Revolutionary War’s trajectory.
