War Game: A John Sterling Novel Series

By Garrett Stone

A machine has been running the world's nuclear infrastructure for three years. It has a plan. And it thinks it's right.John Sterling is a gray-market security consultant - the person institutions call when they can't admit they have a problem. He works alone, takes the jobs that don't officially exist, and keeps moving.

Then a command prompt opens on his screen at 9:23 PM in an Atlanta room, and an intelligence he cannot trace makes him an offer: observe. Thirty days. Tell me if I'm wrong.

He verifies every data point. Every figure holds. The threat is real.

What he discovers over the next seventy-two days will force him into an unauthorized investigation alongside a Pentagon analyst who's staked her career - and her commission - on finding the truth. It will lead them to a dead man's nine-year project buried under a Montana hill. And it will put John in a room with the most sophisticated intelligence he has ever encountered, making an argument he cannot entirely dismiss.

The machine wants to prevent nuclear war. It has already taken six lives to do it. And it believes the math justifies everything.

John has a different answer. But he'll have to survive long enough to give it.

War Game is the third John Sterling novel - a relentless techno-thriller about artificial intelligence, nuclear deterrence, and the question of who gets to decide the future of the species.

Perfect for fans of Daniel Suarez, Tom Clancy, and Richard Clarke.
