About this listen
Can former bestselling novelist Mathias King - now a rumpled, grizzled English professor - save America from a terrorist of his own making?
In the shadow of the Pentagon, a secret DoD brain research experiment goes terribly wrong, and an ex-Special Ops soldier escapes, believing he is Viktor Dragunov, the Russian operative from the 80s thriller novel, Attack on America. To capture him, the Feds turn to the person uniquely qualified to predict his next moves, the man who created the fictional character, best-selling author Mathias King.
Now a reclusive English professor, King is reluctant to get involved, having sworn off the culture of violence after a deranged fan murdered his wife. But when innocent people start dying, King is thrust back into that dark world. With help from his enthusiastic graduate assistant Emily Phan, King must outsmart his own creation - while outmaneuvering the cover-up-loving Feds - before Dragunov succeeds in his hell-bent mission.
To destroy America.

Twenty-three year old Arnold Gold is a Seattle-based odds-maker and local computer genius.

But his high stakes activity on the Net inadvertently thrusts him into a vortex of international terrorism. Dark Net Hacking has resulted in murder, and now it will take every last bit of Arnold's genius intellect and legendary hacking skill to stay one step ahead of the murderous terrorists, the FBI, the local cops and his lawyer.

Twisty!
The main character, Mathias King, was a hugely successful thriller author who now has misgivings about his writing career. It wasn't literature, after all. He's teaching lit at George Mason when he's approached by a nefarious government employee for help to find a madman who is copycatting his works. On the superficial level, it's a twisty fast-paced thriller. Beneath that is a thoughtful contemplation on the role and responsibilities of fiction writers.
