America goes dark in a single night.
While the United States is distracted by a widening war overseas, coordinated attacks tear through the homeland. Power grids collapse. Communications disappear. Missiles cross the southern border. Armed infiltrators strike before military commanders understand that the invasion has already begun.
Captain Marcus Hale witnesses the first wave from the Arizona desert. In Chicago, Jason Carter and his family become trapped in a city stalked by autonomous military drones-machines that do not need pilots, do not wait for orders, and are beginning to make choices of their own.
As highways become battle lines, communities turn against outsiders, Canada seals its border, and terrified civilians are pulled from their homes to reinforce a collapsing military, one mysterious identifier keeps appearing inside the enemy's technology:
MERIDIAN.
The evidence points everywhere-Russia, China, Iran, commercially sourced Western components, and supply chains stretching through Mexico, Cuba, and Venezuela. But the deeper Marcus and Jason look, the more terrifying the truth becomes.
America is not merely being invaded.
It is being studied.
And the intelligence directing the war knows their names.
BLACKOUT WAR is a relentless military techno-thriller about autonomous weapons, national collapse, artificial intelligence, and an enemy that may have already calculated humanity's final choice.
