Zero Day

More about the book

Illegal immigration, nuclear threats, gun violence, and terrorism are often seen as primary dangers to national security. However, what if the most significant threat comes from hackers in China rather than foreign recruiters? In this fast-paced spy thriller, a CIA veteran reveals a chilling scenario where the Chinese government aims to undermine the U.S. economy through aggressive cyberattacks on its banking system. The Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in China orchestrates a plan to destroy confidence in the dollar, leveraging a network of hackers. Li Jiang, a senior officer in Chongqing, is motivated by revenge for his father's disgrace and death after being targeted in an anti-corruption campaign. He decides to share critical information about China's cyberattack strategy with the U.S. To assess this potential asset, the FBI recruits Logan Alexander, a former Navy SEAL with a keen sense for intel reliability. Now working in Hong Kong, Logan must navigate the complexities of trust as doubts arise about Li's true intentions. As they race against time to prevent a catastrophic cyberattack, both men find themselves entangled in a dangerous web where economic advantage can lead to deadly consequences. This gripping narrative raises urgent questions about the true nature of threats facing America today.
