The front line of global conflict has moved from trenches to screens, and the people fighting it are not always who you'd expect. In A Reluctant Spy, an ordinary tech executive gets pulled into real intelligence work when the agent he's secretly been covering for vanishes. John Sandford's Dark Angel sends Letty Davenport undercover with a hacker collective that has already taken down a country's rail network. James Swallow's Ghost has an ex-MI6 agent racing to unmask a cyber-terrorist before a wave of coordinated attacks brings down more than just the internet. And in The Target, elite CIA operatives sent to eliminate a foreign threat find themselves the ones being hunted. Nobody's as safe as theythink.
