In this third installment of the Tom Santos series of thrillers by Bob Spearman, readers become reacquainted with familiar villains from the first two books in the series, “Then She Was Dead ” and “Fighting the Dark Side.” Tom, his wife Julie, and their twin daughters are moving to South Carolina to be care for Tom's elderly parents. A cadre of bad guys follow the family to the East Coast and they don't intend to let the family get away this time. As Tom leads the fight to protect the US from a deadly cascade of cyberthreats that will not only upset the world political order but ultimately culminate in World War III, Julie and the girls are forced to defend themselves against brutal physical and emotional threats. This fast-paced thriller presents Tom with an untenable choice: his family or his country? Either way, he loses.
