STORM is a new cyber-thriller by Dave Pearson of Charlotte that uncovers the undisclosed worlds of computer hackers, cyberterrorists and Special Operations with exceptional realism. Pearson’s first book, which required extensive research, focuses on the secret military internet, the Intelink, NSA hackers and cyberterrorism. STORM is the first book in Pearson’s cyber-thriller series.
In STORM, the Intelink—the secret U.S. Intelligence Communities’ intranet—is under attack by a rogue group of hackers, known as STORM. Recruiting the talent of super-hacker Dutch, STORM journeys to Compound Five, a combat training facility of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), to attack the Intelink. This is not the hack Dutch had anticipated, as he finds himself alongside the STORM hackers pitted against a special unit of Navy SEALs in a struggle to stay alive.
“Navy SEALs, NSA expert hackers, and DARPA (U.S.Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) are involved in an attack on the Intelink (the secret U.S.Intelligence Communities’ intranet) by a global rogue group of hackers. It’s hard to tell fact from fiction. STORM is an electrifying, cyber-security thriller that launches onto a real battlefield.”
