The Electronic Tsunami

In the year 2029, powerful nations are crippled by cyber-attacks of unknown origin. The crisis worsens as the Port of Taipei is bombed by an errant, AI-weaponized drone, bringing China and the United States to the brink of World War III. Elsewhere, climate-induced ice melts in the Arctic trigger a clash between NATO and Russian naval forces contesting access to new sea lanes and a wealth of undersea oil and mineral deposits ripe for exploitation.

Then, in a Christmas nightmare, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on America's northeastern seaboard turns a highly digitalized regional economy into an electronic graveyard in nanoseconds. Millions of Americans are suddenly without power, heat, water, transportation, and communication services as the grid system is totally destroyed.

In a race against time, the beleaguered president must contend with a devastated economy and demoralized citizenry, and quickly find and destroy an unknown enemy to prevent further attacks on the nation.

The consequences of advanced digital and weapon systems run amok are graphically chronicled in The Electronic Tsunami, a novel that demonstrates how dramatic new technologies are exceeding the capacity of humans to assimilate, rationalize, and understand.
