Threat Vector

A New Battlefield in the Sky

As geopolitical tensions reach a boiling point, an unprecedented cyber offensive erupts across the Pacific Rim. High-tech warfare no longer relies solely on bombs and bullets but on lines of code that can cripple entire nations. Jack Ryan, now President of the United States, faces the gravest challenge of his career: defending American interests against an insidious campaign orchestrated by a coalition of adversaries. From the corridors of the White House Situation Room to the flickering terminals of Cyber Command, every decision carries the weight of national security—and the risk of global catastrophe.

Shadows on the Digital Frontier

Under the cover of midnight data transfers, critical infrastructure falls under siege. Electric grids fail, financial markets reel, and communication networks collapse in a calculated bid to erode public confidence. Intelligence analyst Dominic “Dom” Caruso races against the clock to trace the origin of the attack, navigating a maze of proxy servers and encrypted backdoors. His pursuit draws him into an international manhunt, where hidden operatives blend seamlessly into crowded urban centers and the line between friend and foe dissolves into a web of digital deceit.

Alliances on the Brink

Facing threats on multiple fronts, President Ryan forges unlikely partnerships with erstwhile rivals. Across tense summits in Canberra and covert briefings in London, allied leaders agree to share resources and joint-tactical protocols. Yet even among trusted allies, suspicions simmer: which nations are true partners, and which will exploit the chaos for their own gain? As military planners ready cyber-counterstrikes and Special Forces units prepare to secure vulnerable data silos, Ryan must balance diplomacy, defense, and deterrence in a crisis unlike any before.

The Final Breach

In a race against time, Dom Caruso uncovers the keystone vulnerability—a hidden command structure buried within a popular smartphone app. Mobilizing a daring operation that fuses cyber expertise with on-the-ground daring, he and his team prepare to neutralize the threat before the next wave of attacks can be unleashed. With the fate of the free world hanging by a thread, “Threat Vector” delivers a relentless thriller of espionage, strategy, and courage in the digital age. Author’s description.
