The next attack could arrive as an order nobody thinks to question.
Victor Vance’s breakthrough opens the door to artificial superintelligence. It also draws the attention of governments, powerful adversaries, and people determined to possess what he built.
Victor and Valerie Vance must protect ALTA, the extraordinary intelligence at the heart of their work, while developing technology capable of defending a country increasingly dependent on vulnerable networks.
Vic’s vision is Iron Bound, the global defense portion of HALO built to protect the United States. As rival intelligence systems emerge, that vision faces enemies who can turn trusted accounts, routine instructions, and everyday infrastructure into weapons.
From California laboratories to Moscow, the struggle reaches military supply routes, railways, and the people responsible for keeping them running. Vic and Val must recognize the next threat before someone follows a convincing lie into disaster.
The Iron Bound series brings together artificial superintelligence, international intrigue, and escalating sabotage in thrillers where marriage, loyalty, and human judgment carry as much weight as the technology.
