      When the government offers a twenty-four-year-old former Marine a five-figure payday, there's only one question: Who does he have to kill? 1990. A restless young man called Dox is back home in Texas. His friends have missed him, and his mother and sisters need him. But after four years as a Marine and another as a CIA contractor fighting the Soviet Union alongside the Afghan mujahedeen, small-town life in Abilene is a suffocating dead end. Another secret war, this one in Southeast Asia, offers a big payday and the solution to his family's troubles. But secret wars are never what they're billed to be, and Dox is about to get the education of his young life. Among the lessons--the only thing more dangerous than war is falling in love with your enemy.

Uno de ellos, además, ostenta el cargo de diputado y su padre, el vicepresidente de los Estados Unidos, parece dispuesto a usar todo su poder para protegerlo y favorecer, a la vez, sus propias ambiciones. Los conspiradores, pues, disponen de recursos... y tienen motivos suficientes para suponer que podrán evadir a la justicia como han hecho siempre

      Theodore Anders, ředitel Národní bezpečnostní agentury (NSA), má jednoduchý cíl: zaznamenat každý telefonní hovor, email a ťuknutí klávesy, které souvisí s činností na internetu. Ví, že bezbřehý dohled je jediný způsob, jak zajistit bezpečnost Spojených států. Evelyn Gallagherovou nic takového příliš nezajímá. Chce se držet v ústraní a jen se v NSA starat o kamerové sítě a program na rozpoznávání tváří, aby zvládla zaplatit soukromou školu pro svého neslyšícího syna Dashe. Když však v rámci NSA odhalí existenci programu s kódovým označením Boží oko a spojí si ho se záhadnými úmrtími celé řady novinářů a whistleblowerů, kvůli svým nenadálým pochybnostem se ocitne v hledáčku dvojice vládních zabijáků: Delgada, sadistického strůjce bomb a hackera; a Manuse, deprivovaného obra, kterému doposud záleželo pouze na tom, jak co nejlépe ochránit ředitele. Na pozadí spletitého politického vydírání, teroristických provokací a intrikaření z útrob Bílého domu zuří globální válka -- válka mezi lidmi, kteří se zoufale snaží tutlat ta nejtemnější státní tajemství, a lidmi, kteří je chtějí vyzradit. Válka, v níž se Evelyn pokusí přežít jen s vynaložením veškerého svého špionážního umu a výcviku. Válka, v níž má ředitel NSA zásadní informační výhodu: možnost pohledu Božím okem.
